capturing wild pokemon is not particularly defensible but the wild pokemon don't have to attack me just for going for a swim or walking trough tall grass
yes.... both the wild pokemon and the trainer consent to the violence, which directly contradicts "non-consensual sparring partner" referring to the wild pokemon
That is assuming wild battles are nonconsensual, the games dont really handle this well since you can force pokemon that otherwise flee to stay, but I am pretty sure the idea is that the ones that fight you mechanically are meant to all be consenting. Weird and kinda gross for sure, but let's not be obtuse and just write off intent. It is more ludonarrative dissonance than anything

excuse me, wild pokemon attack the player when they walk through tall grass. stating a fight implies consenting to a fight surely.

it's some tall grass, you're not mowing it. they could just wait for you to leave.

Like they said, it is not Undertale.......god now I kinda want a synthesis of what both of you are saying. Toby Fox does work for Pokemon now
This game isn't undertale
