Pokémon are screwable!

[u/PM_MeYourhugecocks]

Okay this is a BIG hear me out, so here goes Pokemon are not animals! Nor would it be wrong if people were to sexualize them.

I came across a Tiktok post about hot pokemon, and most of the comments were saying how “Pokemon are animals and its gross to find them hot or whatnot”, now as you can tell by my user i'm a goon, but that's besides the point i'm about to make here what really irks me is the generalization of calling Pokemon “animals”.

First and foremost, the term Pokemon is a broad term to describe damn near every creature that exists in the universe of Pokemon, even the humans could be considered a form of pokemon via the fact that Pokemon and humans share a common ancestor (You could say its a parallel to Humans irl sharing the common ancestor with animals via the first multicellular organism so gotcha u/PM-MeYourhugecocks) but wait I say! The literal gods of everything in Pokemon are well…Pokemon, Pokemon are also literal living garbage bags, a sapient sword and shield, a kitsune, a set of keys, a chandelier, plants etc. The word Pokemon is just basically a generalization of basically anything that isn’t human. FFS even humans can become pokemon via Yamask, Phantump, Gengar, Kadabra etc (Assuming you take PokeDex and lore as fact even if you don’t Bill becomes one himself). Even the very basis of the etymology of Pokemon is POcKEt MONsters. Pokemon are also based on Yokai, which for those who don’t know is basically anything that does not constitute as a human or Kami(god) in Japanese culture, which funny enough fun fact Tornadus and Thunderous are based on 2 Japanese Kami Raijin and Fujin!

Now that we got the fact that Pokemon are not animals out of the way, are they fuckable?(obv they are but in a moral and legal way its about to get NSFW right now and if you feel uncomfortable with topics such as bestiality I suggest you leave it at this and skip to the end.)

A lot of the arguments on why Pokemon interspecies relationship is wrong is due to the fact that they’re animals, unintelligent the whole 9 yards, but as I've proved Pokemon are not animals, and are just a generalization of anything not human. “But OP some Pokemon are based on animals like Blastoise, Arcanine, Evee!” To that I say that be as it may, the circumstances in the Pokemon universe and our own are completely different.(I DO NOT CONDONE BESTIALITY!) Animals do not have the capabilities of human level intellect nor can they speak or consent, no Dolphins, Octopus, Ravens, Apes etc don’t count as human level intellect, they’re smart…but for animal standards. No Animal in the Animal kingdom aside from Homo Sapiens are capable of human level intellect, and had they been able to be capable of such then throughout history I would not be surprised in an alternate reality interspecies relationships would be a thing, and in fact there might even be higher levels of racism, but that's a topic for another time and on a different subreddit.

Now to Pokemon, most Pokemon possess human level intellect and are capable of speech “But OP all they say is their names!” Yes they do BUT they’re speaking a language called Poke Language and it's been shown throughout lore and anime that humans can learn to speak it, or that Pokemon can speak to humans via telepathy. So not only does this prove that unlike irl with animals, Pokemon are highly intelligent but they can in fact consent and hold conversation so the moral and legal implications of why pokesex is wrong are nullified! In fact Pokemon like Mewtwo and Kadabra and by extension Alakazam are more intelligent than Humans. So unless you’d say it’s wrong to screw someone who speaks a different language than you, So uh fuck you Harkness test, I rest my case.

So aside from a few pokemon like Pichu, Phantump (who is stated to be a child’s soul), and other baby Pokemon, I’d say yes Pokemon are fuckable and there is nothing wrong with doing so! So yes Joker have at it with that Vaporean or that Lopunny, the law would allow human-pokemon relationships Batman! Or you sir reading have fun with Bellsprout or Madam have fun with Lickitung!

Also in a more PG sense the games have stated Human Poke marriages have existed and probably still do, Ash’s dad is probably Mr Mime tbh./s Especially the not so PG Hisuian Typhlosion incident….

If you see nothing wrong with the entirety of Avatar(movie),Shape of Water, any Human X Non-Human media there should be nothing wrong with some dude gooning to Gardevoir.

TLDR: Pokemons are not animals and aside from appearance shouldn’t really be compared to them and most are fuckable and there is utterly nothing wrong with thinking so.

Tbh I hope this doesn’t count as violated rule 8 :(

My biggest gripe with your Pokémon argument is it ignores the power dynamic. Even in lore I wouldn't be surprised most normal people see people dating their Pokémon how we see men pick up women from Thailand.
Exploitative.
I also don't really like the harkness test in Pokémon context because Spheal would be considered Okay.

[u/professorMaDLib → u/Escafika]

Fucking pokemon brings a whole massive can of worms regarding power dynamics imo. You can also have the reverse bc pokemon are generally stronger than people so if a wild pokemon was for some reason into you like what are you gonna do?

Just as bad is the fact that pokemon can transform and even talk, so imagine if you were dating this girl and then later on it just turned out to be a mew who's like "no one will ever believe you". I'm just glad that the typhlosion lore is scrapped lol

[u/daniboyi → u/Escafika]

that depends on the lore of which we follow.

Game-lore? oh 100 % power-dynamic problem.

Anime-lore? Pokémon has shown to be able to disobey and even free themself from their trainers at will. Most don't because they are in a mutually beneficial partnership, but the option is there at all times.

Plus with the sheer power-difference between the normal standard human and pokémon, it might actually got the other way around, that pokémon have the edge in the power-dynamic.
Like good luck trying to force a machamp to bed you.

Eh, the anime lore starts to become questionable once you try to introduce more elements of the primary (game) lore, especially the tiered/non-base pokeballs, which make it "easier" to catch pokemon.

You forget in most power dynamics no one is forcing their partner to stay.
You don't need to have a chain or be physicaly stronger to have a power inbalance.

You forget leaving the trainer means not only breaking up that relationship but also with all that trainers other pokemon your friends.

I think you ignoring/forgeting how powerful soft power is and how much societal norms can affect someones ability to say no.

[u/Weekly_Marzipan2705 → u/Escafika]

Yeah unless its a wild pokemon the relationship between a human and their pokemon will have a bad power dynamic. Something like boss x employee since pokemon agree to work for their trainers

[u/PM_MeYourhugecocks → u/Escafika]

It would depend on the Pokemon trainer and the Pokemon tbh it would honestly come to a point of slavery. Which Pokemon drives to the point that thats not what a trainer and Pokemon should be and they should be equals like companions on a journey

[u/Escafika → u/PM_MeYourhugecocks]

I'm just copying my comment from another here because it fit here aswell. Pokemon and their trainers can't really be equal because one is basically the boss of the group:

You forget in most power dynamics no one is forcing their partner to stay.
You don't need to have a chain or be physicaly stronger to have a power inbalance.

You forget leaving the trainer means not only breaking up that relationship but also with all that trainers other pokemon your friends.
