I reckon in the Pokémon world it'd be illegal. Are we able to engage in relationships with dogs or cats? No. I reckon the government in the Pokémon world would see things the same way.

Yeah, and I don't see why...it's reasonable question...
Couldn't we just give this topic a rating?
It's mainly because some members of the community are incredibly immature and refuse to accept that other people possess opinions and views that may differ with their own.

Considering they banned the episode with BrockxJynx, I think it would be pretty illegal. Although, I'm pretty sure that had more to do with racism than `bestiality.'


Look at Gardenia... and her grass Pokemon. Or Blue and MewTwo from the Special Manga. You never know..

But we've already seen that this argument is flawed. Pokemon are clearly more intelligent than cats and dogs, so surely the legalities would be different.

lol fchan discussion.

I can imagine that the Pokemon world treats Pokemon as intellectual equals who aren't capable of voicing their opinion, and as such, there will be measures in place to protect against Pokemon abuse [and you know exactly what kind of abuseI'm talking about]. However, I don't think that there'd be too much of a ruckus if the romantic/sexual relationship was with a Humanoid Pokemon (not necessarily the Humanshape egg group). People may not talk about it much, but they'll accept it's there.

If the same type of relationship was with a non-humanoid Pokemon, then yes, I can imagine that the neighbors wouldn't be very happy, but I doubt there'd be legal issues unless the Pokemon was being abused.

And for all you people BAAWWWWing over "what people do to Ditto", just remember that Duplica's Ditto could turn into a human. What do you think she did when she got all ronery living by herself?

Gosh, Slowpoke is such an intelligent Pokémon! If you look at the games, Pokémon mate with each other, not their trainers. And if they were so intelligent (take Alakazam's IQ of 5000) why do they allow themselves to end up confined within a Poké Ball and slaves to their trainer?

That's kinda a different question. And while slowpoke might be slow, its not unintelligent, per se. When its been seen in the anime, it was still able to comprehend human speech, just like other pokemon.

Some chimps understand sign language yet we're not engaging in relationships with them?

oh you'd be surprised


That's because they're the exception, not the rule. Chimps have to be taught sign language over a long period of time, whereas Phanpy understood Ash from the second it hatched.

That's completely different. Those are MORE INTELLIGENT species, but they're not sentient.

And if you try to say that there are no sentient pokemon, I will kick you. There are pokemon of equal or even above human intelligence, you know...

I can see where this is going.

I think that it could be possible with certain pokemon i.e Gardevoir, Lucario, Gallade etc etc

like its been said before I think that it would bve acceptable for the humanoid pokemon to have a relationship with a human. It most likely would be less acceptable with a more different pokemon i.e geodude, goldeen, magikarp.

I dont know...:\
If we were in the Pokemon world, you'd have to understand they have different laws so it might not be illegal to have ..you know ;)...with Pokemon. However, if Pokemon existed in our world, it would be illegal as it would be seen to be morally wrong (by some) to do it with things which aren't the same species as us, as some wuld see it as going against other nature, doing it with something which was not intended to. This is my opinion so...XD

Of course it would be illegal. Moneys are "humanoid" creatures, but it's taboo to mate with them. A Lucario/Gardevoir would be even worse because they share absolutely no genes with the human race.

OKAY OKAY

Define sentient? All animals are conscious. They have their own senses. They have their own feelings and are alive.

Why are all your points related to the intelligence of Pokemon?

Alright, here's the deal.

A pokemonXhuman relationship can EXIST if:
1) The pokemon is intelligent enough to understand the relationship,
2) The human possesses genuine feelings for the pokemon, and the pokemon, in return, reciprocates those feelings,
3) The pokemon is capable of consenting to every phase of the relationship.

That's what's needed for the relationship to EXIST. Whether it actually works or not is not major; if both parties are willing to try to maintain the relationship, then said relationship, along with all of the problems it brings, is entirely their concern. This includes things like communication.

And, of course, there are some species who are simply so physically incompatible that any effort at a relationship would have to be kept platonic at best.

Like I stated earlier, this is a learned behaviour - the dog has been trained to become more intelligent than it would in the wild. Imagine that you had met your dog when it was 5 years old and up until then, it had been wild. Naturally, it wouldn't understand commands. However, if you have a 5 year old Pokemon, it WOULD be able to understand you because Pokemon are capable of comprehending humans from the moment they hatch (e.g. Ash's Phanpy).

However, I agree with the people who say that personxhumanoid pokemon relationships would be less taboo than personxfish pokemon or personxbird pokemon, simply because of the biological differences.

It would almost certainly be impossible for humans and pokémon to mate with each other, let alone legal, considering pokémon don't seem to mate in the same way as humans do, as they lack reproductive organs. Of course, that doesn't rule out non-reproductive "stimulation", but I doubt pokémon would desire such relations, and therefore, it would be illegal for them to occur.

I would expect romantic relationships to be social taboo, (though not illegal, as enforcing such a law would require the breach of several basic rights) but certainly not impossible, and likely not unheard of.

When it comes to marriage, I'm not really sure. I'd expect the legal status of human/pokémon marriages to differ from culture to culture. There does not appear to be any form of marriage occuring between pokémon and pokémon, so I'm unsure if pokémon would really desire marriage, and so it would probably be made illegal, so that humans could not "force" their pokémon into a marriage, which the pokémon would see as unnatural for their kind. In places pokémon/human marriage would be legal, then almost certainly pokémon would consent to marriage for the sake of their partner, even if they were not naturally inclined towards it.

This is the answer.

You, sir, win 1 (one) giant delicious cookie.


Also, remember that Meowth learned to speak human language through sheer will, so communication may not be much of an issue if the Pokemon party really does love their partner.
