Unfortunately, if someone is into petwives, there's a more likely chance of them being full blown zoophiles who want to fuck Pokemon like Ninetales as well. It's kind of like how people who believe in weird, but relatively tame conspiracy theories are still statistically more likely to believe in batshit insane conspiracy theories too.
Tajiri and his company were undoubtedly aware of this. This is a billion dollar company with access to the best marketing experts on earth. Everything that happens is by design. GameFreak chose this path.
