Team Rocket - Something Thats Always Bothered Me

Krabby. That's all I have to say regarding unconvential captures.

Pokemon Battle =/= hitting it with a stick

Indeed. It had recently occured to me that trainers are no less 'evil' than organisations like Team Rocket — capturing helpless creatures with sophisticated technology and coercing them into bouts until one is rendered unconcious.

When you put it that way, Pokemon Trainers are kind of awful... sure the Pokemon like their trainers most of the time, but that could be Stockholm syndrome for all we know.

I find it strange how it is at all possible for a trainer and Pokemon to form the 'bond of trust' so often mentioned in the games and probably also the series.

But then, given how all wild Pokemon will attack any human they see walking through long grass, it seems they just like fighting.
