My headcanon is this
>>47292078 but also that in the pokemon world 90% of the time pokémon are outside their pokeballs, and only kept inside when it's absolutely necessary. Having a pokemon inside for hours without a convincing explanation could be considered as abuse by many people or the law. This would also help making the biggest and strongest mons more rare, which I think is nice and improves the worldbuilding.
>>47292648>Pokemon doesn't need a "mascot"Yes, it wouldn't in an ideal world. But pokemon is a brand and a product, of course it needs it anon.
