As you may know (I've mentioned this quite a few times), Pokémon Trainers catch Pokémon in Pokéballs and take them on a Pokémon Journey and do all things Pokémon.
Imagine a Pokémon, living happily in the wild, having her own dreams and goals, playing with her friends, participating in forest gatherings and having her own little world to live in. Now, a good hearty Pokémon Trainer steps in and battles her. He almost defeats her, then confines her into a little ball. After this the trainer continues on his journey with the Pokémon in the ball, and sending her out occasionally to battle other Pokémon (sometimes even her own kin) and forcibly train her. After this he takes her along for a beautiful Pokémon journey... except, only the trainer sees it beautiful. The Pokémon sits in the Pokéball all day and occasionally comes out to battle other Pokémon... and likes the trainer. Ouch. After some time, he finds a suitable replacement for her, and doesn't want her anymore. Then he proceeds to stuff her into a virtual storage machine and let her rot for a long time.
What the heck is this about, eh? Call this Pokémon bonding with the trainer if you will, it's still a touch on the rough side. Consider what would happen if he didn't box her...
He takes this Pokémon along to beat gyms and the Pokémon League. She gets her photo taken for a Hall of Fame, after which only the trainer gets proper recognition.
Ouch. Considering the Pokémon World as a little more than fantasy, what are your thoughts on this? What kind of a system would you prefer instead?
Keeping in mind that Pokémon comes from Pocket Monsters, which suggest Monsters kept in pockets throught the liberal use of Pokéballs.
Let's see forth a discussion.
