>>55057141>Its more likely they force some good pokemon to obey them and its almost for certain with the ones they have stolen.Yes. That doesn't mean its mind control or that mind control is a standard feature of Pokéballs.
>So because a 10 year old threw a red ball and another 10 year old threw a Purple ball, the second 10 year old is somehow more worthyWhile it's kept intentionally ambiguous what a Pokémon experiences inside their ball, we do know it's "comfortable" somehow. My interpretation is that a Pokémon body is turned into energy and their consciousness is placed in simulated reality that differs based on the type of ball. This explains why different balls are more likely to convince different Pokémon. The Master Ball's 100% catch chance could likely be an abstraction because of it just being so much better compared to the other balls.
>Calyrex is statement is also nonsense.You might think the concept is stupid, but they are clearly implying this is how most Pokémon think.
While Pokémon replace the role of animals in the Pokémon, they are not animals. The average Pokémon enjoys battles and becoming stronger. With a trainer, they can do that in a safe and standardised way. A Pokémon learns far fewer Moves and may be unable to Evolve without a Trainer. Wild Pokémon are at risk of being injured, abused and killed by other Wild Pokémon so most want a Trainer. The average Trained Pokémon is happy being with their Trainer because they get their needs met, to become stronger, to travel, to meet other Pokémon, to be loved and to be cared for. When that's not the case, it's the exception and not the norm.
The idea that the average Trained Pokémon is a slave to their Trainer is stupid and objectively wrong. This is a series where humans befriend and live with creatures that could easily cause so much destruction but choose not to.
