That's actually canon within the games. I think if you talked to someone in Diamond / Pearl / Platinum at Canalave City, they tell you about how a human once married a Gardevoir. I don't remember much from D/P/Pt but that stood out to me. I was like 11 or 12 when I played it and I remember saying " What the actual fuck " out loud. I honestly was kinda hoping it was a mistranslation but I guess not.From the bulbapedia entry on humans found here: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Human

I didn't know Jerry Peet was a writer for Game Freak. TIL.
I feel like that wasn't the only reference to... that.
I don't know, maybe it's a cultural difference thing? I know that Japan has a more permissive "hey, look at this freak!" attitude than the West, particularly when said freak isn't rocking the boat.
Oh no in the Japanese games they straightup just go "Yeah Pokemon and people got married/fall in love". No condemning it.
It was in Sun/Moon, and I know who you're talking about. The english dub changed it because Nintendo didn't want any more furries validating their Blaziken with big tits and ass porn as canon.
Try thinking about how much more frequent people would try to have sex with pokemon than with real animals. As you've said, at least some of them are more intelligent than normal animals. But the defining factor, in my oppinion, is that you can go in the forest, catch a thing, and now it's yours and you can make it do whatever you want. Of cource you can use it to go around and scam little children off their pocket money, because they can't not challenge you if you end up walking in their vicinity, something a normal person would do. But this is not a perfect world. A thought-provoking theme indeed. Good thing I'm not going to think about it too much, thanks to my shitty short-term memory.
Can't wait for people to go into the ethical implications of owning sentients as a parallel to slavery and start conspiracy theories about Champ-breaking.
Pokemon have free will and can reject any orders from their trainers. For example, Ash's Charizard. However, I deduce there are pokemon that aren't of average intelligence and will just follow orders humbly, pokemon who don't understand the difference between evil and good actions very well, and pokemon that are groomed to think what they're doing is OK. This would include being captured and then being groomed into having sex without realizing it's an abuse of power on the trainer's end. But then there are also pokemon that are clearly intelligent enough to engage in a romantic relationship with a human consensually (eg. Alakazam). Also, iitc, the pokemon you find in the wild in game are pokemon that want to challenge you. At least up until the recent generations that have open world pokemon encounters (Sword/Shield)? I could be wrong about that though.
Yes, it wouldn't be as simple as I've described if we actually get into details. But if we do that, we would need to answer some important questions before talking about people having sex with pokemon. Like, why psychic pokemon aren't the ruling class. Anyway, I doubt there are any recent happenings about that.
Probably because a six year old human could enslave President Mewtwo by tossing a master ball at it.
well on the plus side, its a better looking suit than most I've seen, at least the colors go well with one another, unlike the clown colors you usually see, the eyes remind me of Incineroar tbh
Nah man, I've played the games, give that kid a pile of gym badges and President Mewtwo will have no choice but to obey. Then we're just one "Mewtwo, use Executive Order!" away from mandatory fursuits for the entire nation.
I foresee a slew of mysterious homicides targeting notable trainers in Pokemon World.
...if Executive Order was a move. Remember that Drowzee and Hypno could not learn Dream Eater by themselves... or again, Zangoose cannot even learn Cut.
