>>47367454The games literally show you that he is a king, a rex, a basileus. The writings you find stop calling him a Pokemon and a King once he proves his worth. This is literally shown to you.
You can't say the same for Pikachu, Mr. Mime, Vaporeon, Gardevoir, or whatever. They act and are depicted more akin cartoon animals than they are to a kingly figure like Calyrex. They're common Pokemon that are more in-line with being a cartoony pet like Scooby Doo while Calyrex is a monarch. I don't if he's been in the anime yet but in the games he talks and rules, yet the common Pokemon don't even talk and are portrayed more like pets. Yes, gameplay mechanics still apply to him but he has the lore to back his kingly position.
>>47368479>>47368458So what? That's literally irrelevant. Go watch cartoons, literally most cartoon animals talk which put them above the vast majority of Pokemon in the human scale. Scooby Doo talks yet he's Shaggy's pet dog because he is in context. While Pokemon are fictional screencaps like the OP remind us what Pokemon actually are. Pro-tip: Not a person, not your wife.
