>>54439593>That doesn't matter,>Tajiri's vision of PokemonThe vision of a single person means nothing when it comes to a group effort, which is what Pokemon is as a franchise. Tajiri's vision may be to have them reflect the relationship to pet/owners, but the games and anime's vision is to have them as equals to humans that work together.
>even the legend quest doesn't say what you want it to sayThe quest says exactly that though, it continues in the tradition of Japanese stories about unknowingly taking a supernatural being as a wife, the most famous of which is The Crane Wife. See picrel for an example that is a direct obvious parallel of the quest used in Legends, this quest itself being a reference to a line of dialog about pokemon and humans marrying each other in Gen 4.
>This is why the series keeps adding pet like activities with Pokemon ever since the switch to 3D and even in HGSS.Do you send your pet off to school? What about to perform manual labor for you to get money? How often do you make curry and sandwiches for your pets? Do you often send your pet to have adventures on islands?
Pokemon are more than pets, stop being dense.
