>>52526381No, the friend/pet paradox goes all the way back to the very first episodes of the Anime. TRio Meowth being treated as just a funny-shaped person nearly all the time doomed the franchise to Furries, and the Anime just kept rubbing in the friend angle while adding more talking Pokemon.
Come BW, Pokemon personhood is inarguable, because there's a Zoroark who actually responds.
>>52526499Bit of an important note, Tinkaton's the initiator by way of batting rocks at Corviknight, who's ranged response is off its 53 Special. Really should have learned Rock Throw or Smack Down by level up instead of all its Rock-type moves being TMs, but in a "realistic" scenario instead of turn-based the Tinkaton's getting multiple attacks before the Corviknight CAN have a solid hit.
