With a franchise as large and disorganized as Pokemon, we all form our own ideas on what is and isn't valid.
In the anime, one episode Braixen is getting sentimental over her broken stick, and the next she's eating from a bowl on the floor. So is she sapient enough to understand sentimentality, or is she just a beast that eats on the floor? Which is the most valid representation of Braixen? The latter is animalfag cancer, so it's only natural that most will choose the former.
In PMD, pokemon have wildly varying levels of intelligence and civility, with some being simple minded, some being feral and territorial like wild animals, and some being no less intelligent than a human. In the mainline games, aside from some legendaries, pokemon are sidelined as simple pets and are largely treated as no more than accessories for the human characters. Which games have the most valid representation of the pokemon creatures? Again, the latter is animalfag cancer, so it's only natural that most will choose the former.
