Pokemon generally seem to be of approximately human intelligence, and they meet just about every measure of personhood, so it's more like boxing or gladiators, depending on how consensual you believe their participation to be. On the one hand, yes, they're captured forcibly. On the other hand most of these guys could pretty easily just fry their captor from the moment they're released, and they're generally not actually being subjected to any threat or motivation to follow orders beyond their own desire to do so.Thesandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671920326771088162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-88485061952628539382013-06-06T17:51:07.000-04:002013-06-06T17:51:07.000-04:00He is completely wrong.

If I recall correctly, the plot resolution was basically that it's okay 'as long as the Pokemon are willing'.
