Comment on If creatures existed that were simultaneously as trainable and as powerful as pokemon, of course they'd be used to resolve every conflict.
I mean… don’t we consider dog fighting to be animal abuse?
Pokemon enjoy battling tho. There’s an important part of consent here. It is their way of playing.
Some could argue that the way a dog is raised might make it entertained by fighting as well.
Not me, though
The lore pretty much says that Pokémon jump at humans cause they want to challenge them and fight whoever they have.
Turns out they’re all little crashouts.
