>>56900014Pokémon are not animals. All Pokémon have at minimum human-level cognition and can understand humans. It makes total sense that Pokémon could want and consent to having their ears pierced, just not common because most Pokémon wouldn't have much reason for that. We don't see Pokémon get dressed up too often.
>I can't understand why Tajiri would do this...To what extent is Satoshi Tajiri involved with the anime? I doubt he's involved with or even cares about minor things like that. Anyway, we have seen Pokémon wear earrings a few times in the gen 1 and gen 2 anime too.
