Stockholm Syndrome is a term used to describe the phenomenon of coming to empathise with one’s captor in a kidnapping or hostage situation. Sometimes victims in such situations, after talking to their captors and learning their stories, start to view them as being not entirely bad people, and may begin to cooperate with them or even take action after being rescued to ensure that their captors are treated leniently. Actual psychological research into the phenomenon is a little thin on the ground (since, for obvious reasons, you can’t really conduct experiments), but it’s a common trope in modern fiction.
In the context of Pokémon, the principle is relevant to questions of the underlying morality of Pokémon training – to wit, is the ‘friendship’ conventionally displayed between Pokémon and trainer really just a manifestation of this irrational tendency to bond with one’s captor?
