Everytime I see someone’s edgy theory about how capturing Pokémon is wrong, I remember that time in Sinnoh it was explicitly stated that Pokémon approach trainers specifically to engage in battle and how it’s implied multiple times throughout the series that Pokémon engage in battle and competitions for their own prestige and it’s just a symbiotic relationship that a respectful trainer gets a career for helping raise a powerful Pokémon while the Pokémon gets access to stronger opponents and more varied experiences than it ever would in its native habitat

Also in the first episode of the anime Ash asks why a wild pokemon is attacking Pikachu and his pokedex says that wild pokemon are often jealous of pokemon with trainers.

#keep your edgy shit away from my pokemon plz n thx

Pokemon are miniature blood knights who love beating the shit out of one another and dream of joining professional fighting squads that go around beating the shit out of one another and I think that’s amazing

I feel like every single member of Team Plasma needs to read this.

maybe the real shonen anime protagonists were the pokemon we caught along the way
