>>50116177What gain would a Pokemon have in attacking a defenseless human if they're "friendly pets"?
You can't argue "THEY'RE WHOLESOME HECKERINOS THAT JUST WANNA BE CAUGHT BECAUSE THEY WANNA GET STRONG" either because that's a Gen 4 Retcon that didn't exist at the time of RGBY.
The fact of the matter is the anime character assassinated virtually every species of Pokemon to make them more marketable to toddlers and permanently reshaped the franchise going forward, in Gen 1 games only a few actually said their names, the rest spoke in onomatopoeia.
