What makes Pokemon different from humans?

When a human has a desire, they collect Pokemon and go to fulfill it. That is how this world works.

When a Pokemon has a desire, what do they do?

Why must the free lives of Pokemon be the cost of a human's wish to act?

Who decided that Pokemon were possessions to be bought and sold and bartered with?

All beings think and feel and wish.

Please consider this.

[...Reaver has been told not to say anything by Logan in regards to this sort of subject. He's been told. If this sort of topic comes up in discussion, avoid it or change the subject or...pray that the other person gets tackled by a wild Pokémon mid-discussion or something because this is not a subject that Reaver should speak on, under any circumstances.]

Really, the things I do to these creatures are no worse than I would do to a human being; if anything, I think they're horribly spoiled - they're weapons, my dear, not pets. Do you think people pamper their guns half this well?

And besides, you're clearly not from a world where human lives are likewise possessions, to be bought and sold and bartered with; it's downright adorable, how naive you're being.

[JUST LOOK AT HOW WELL THIS "NOT SAYING ANYTHING ON THIS TOPIC" THING IS GOING.]

It's clear you've formed your opinion already.

[Sigh. Add one to the "do not engage" list.]

What did you expect? If you post something that you seem to think is progressive and controversial, you're going to receive replies that don't immediately agree with you.

I know. That was the idea.
