>>53898506Reminder that consent is irrelevant in this context given the dynamic at work. This is why it must be constantly stressed that Pokémon exist in a space where they are conceptualized as occupying the same space as cats and dogs in the real world and critters in general. It is why Takeshi Shudo, Satoshi Tajiri and The Pokémon Company have expressed this sentiment in various sources, it also neatly explains the things Pokémon have Pokémon do like bark and chew on shoes in the games, or get zoomies just as real cats and dogs do in the real wolrd, or why in the anime they eat dog food.
The dynamics do not allow the kind of perversion you people envision. Instead you should envision the Pokémon as a fantastical version of real life critters and pets, not as objects of lust and the target of perversion by grown men of age.
In short the Harkness test matters naught here, verily indeed this is just the circus clowns here trying to justify their inanity via the series. To that I say stop it, cease that line of inquiry post-haste.
