The answer to the question of why ppl think Pokemon are slaves is very simple… because they kind of are? Humans trade them, stuff them into PCs, choose who to battle and for what reason. There is 0 Pokemon agency in the plot of the games at least, except for select legendaries. It’s possible to do human/mon partnership so it doesn’t smack of that, go watch Digimon and note all the differences :

I have.  Digimon is a lot of fun, but I would suggest that comparing a story-driven anime to a gameplay-driven RPG is really rather fallacious, and a lot of the comments you make don’t really apply to the Pokémon anime, which does often give Pokémon agency.

Are you telling me to stop liking Pokémon?  ’cause you’re gonna need to do a lot better than that.
