>>52749965>I fail to see how it's irrelevantI do. All you're doing is deflecting to other franchises because there's nothing in pokemon to back up your claims. And even then the argument boils down to "sapient beings are treated as animals in other mediums, which makes it okay!". Which is a dogshit argument.
>you chose to ignore actual words from the people who run the seriesI do, because the very series they run has proven that these words wrong time and time again.
>Nothing suggest the girl is naiveThe literal video you linked shows she is, by showcasing clips of pokemon failing to "read one's heart" and getting abused. Next time try to not use evidence that shots your argument in the foot.
>Legends of ArceusYou're really retarded if you think a game where pokemon repeatedly attack people (see: Hisuan Zoroark), where multiple pokemon are shown to be sapient and capable of speech and where A MAN MARRIED AND FUCKED FROSLASS somehow helps your argument.
>never implied that the gengar bonded with it's trainerAh yes, Gengar that didn't have any bonds with the trainer decided to wait for him for years just... because? Even with your "they are dogs" comparison this makes zero sense. A random dog won't wait for an owner that didn't bond with her for years. Animals need to actually BOND with someone to get this attached.
>one reddit postWho cares?
>with all that in mind this construction is very powerfulSchizo babble.
>they act cute and innocentThe whole premise of the series is that pokemon REPEATEDLY BEAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK OUT OF EACH OTHER. There's nothing cute or innocent about monsters lighting other on fucking fire.
>many people perceive Many people are retards who don't care about the subtleties of the franchise. Just like you!
>rolling stone article for detective pikachuNobody cares what some yellow press publishes for clicks. And it's literally a movie where one of the main themes was POKEMON AND HUMANS COEXISTING WITH EACH OTHER AS EQUALS.
