>Even humanoid pokémon like Gardevoir are forced to sleep on the floor
good.
cleaning up gardevoir’s droppings while you take her for a walk haha
If she moves she gets the shock collar
>>58491001So like chimps and orangutans? Not seeing the problem here.
>>58491001he lives in a small apartment. what did you expect?
>>58491001Disgusting. That thing should be in its ball.
>>58491012that bed has enough space for both of them
>>58491127Like any well loved pet he probably does sleep in his masters bed when he wants to but as a good owner his trainer still provides him with a sleeping space.
>>58491151I'm seeing what you're doing and I'll just say that you're trying too hard
>>58491001japanese live like this?
>>58491127He fell out of his bed at the start, so he's probably a thrasher.
>>58491001And it eats off the floor too
>>58491001as expected from a pokefucker's sex dungeon
>>58492009Here's the question.Would you rather live as a burnt-out delivery driver in a one-room apartment but with a Gardrvoir, or continue to live as you do without one?
>>58491001Point the air conditioning at it and turn it on full blastTake away the blankey
>>58491001Cringe, they should've shown her cuddling in bed with her trainer
>>58491001Why is the fact that Gardevoir is human-shaped such a notable factor for you in regards to that? That barely means factors at all to that.>>58491004Eh. If the Pokémon's OK with it I guess. They could always go to their ball too.>>58491006I highly doubt this is much of a thing for Pokémon. It's canon that all species of Pokémon have at minimum human-level cognition.>>58493171Franchise inconsistency.
>>58491001They're animals at the end of the day. Like, how would a wild Gardevoir sleep?
>>58493381
>>58493306I’m already burned out in real life, I’d take that deal in a heartbeatplease please just give me a Gardevoir
>>58491006>>58491007>>58493352>she>her
>>58493306my life is basically that except without a companion so yeah i'd take that dealwould prefer a mawile or misdreavus or something though
>>58493451Yes.
>>58491001it's so fucking jarring how they'll portray a pokemon like gardevoir as having human-level cognition and then go "yeah no this is totally an animal dude"like can't they see it's off-putting?
>>58493306My gf is very close to moving in with me and its not a one room apartment, so pass.
>>58493556Probably a corporate mandate to do so.
>>58491001good
>>58493605They probably like chimp level, you don't see chimps sleeping in hhman beds or eating at the table, it's still an animal.
>>58491001Well, that's a cute dog bed
>>58493619They're as smart as humans and they have human emotions. They have humanlike thought patterns, humanlike values. Notice the contrast between gardevoir and the gogoats in the crash scene. The gogoats just hop away from him and leave him to die, while gardevoir gets in front of him and tries to hold back the truck. The former are simple creatures who are ultimately concerned only with personal survival. The latter is a being who thinks "even if we both die, it's my duty to safeguard him". She's more than a mere beast.
>>58493369How is it inconsistent when Tajiri was referring to Pokemon as pets as early as Gen 1
Like any good wife. She should wait for her husband.
>>58493702Dogs do that, sweatie
>>58493726Dogs are human
>>58493710Tajiri stopped being involved in the franchise after gen 2.
>>58493702They live in the woods and form no complex society, they're just more advanced animals, I'm sorry, but Gardevior is gonna grab food with it's bare hands and hide under your bed to eat it.
>>58493747And? The series still treats Pokemon as pets, a lot of the activities in the main games are pretty much pet interactions like playing fetch, cleaning them, feeding them treats. Scarlet and Violet even gave all Pokemon zoomies like a real cat or dog
>>58493764This. Pokémon can not do anything complex without human instruction. They have no creativity. People talk about how smart Alakazam is because it has a lot of processing power, but it is just a number cruncher, and no more intelligent than an Intel processor
>>58493764>They live in the woods and form no complex societyHow do you know?
>>58493710I meant the sitting on the floor eating out of a pet food bowl part. That's been portrayed inconsistently. On Pokémon being pets, I agree, Pokémon can totally be pets, even if what it means for a Pokémon to be a pet is a little different to that of real-life animals being pets.
>>58493702>The latter is a being who thinks "even if we both die, it's my duty to safeguard him". She's more than a mere beast.She only thinks that way because he’s her trainer, not because she has advanced humanlike thoughts. Same as a dog protecting its owner from danger.>>58493820Have you ever seen a complex Gardevoir society in the woods?
>>58493702>>58493605If you can eat with utensils, not make a mess, and are capable of taking your dishes to the sink and washing them then you can sit at the table. A baby in a highchair is an exception, one day they will be washing dishes and will learn why we do it. I cannot say the same for a dog. Can a Bulbasaur understand why we sanatize and wash? An irl orangutan can learn to wash chlothes and themselves with soap but do they know the right way from the wrong way? Do they know why we do it?
>>58493764>>58493786>A species having at least human-level cognition MUST ALWAYS result having the EXACT same values and behaviours as humans!Wrong. Pokémon are mostly OK with their current situation. They like having handle some things for them.
>>58493783Lucario for example.>Lucario, you were more to me than just my student… You were my closest friend.A talking sapient being who had a mentor/student relationship with his master, not a pet/owner relationship. As the other anon said, the franchise is inconsistent.>a lot of the activities in the main gamesThe main games are shit.
>>58493859So you're saying Pokemon are like africans and jeets? Capable of forming society, but preferring to eat poop from goat anus?
>>58491001If anything this makes it worse than sleeping in the same bed.As much as the pokedex waxes on about most psychic pokemon being smarter than humans, this comes off as a power play dynamic here
>>58493959The pokedex is gay and say a lot of dumb things.
>>58493849>She only thinks that way because he’s her trainer, not because she has advanced humanlike thoughts. Same as a dog protecting its owner from danger.Their pokedex entry in Sleep says they're like that towards people and Pokemon in general, not just their trainers."Gardevoir frequently sleeps upright so it's able to protect people or Pokémon at any moment."It can't just be instinct since there's obviously no evolutionary advantage to risking your life for members of completely separate species, so they're mentally advanced enough to have abstract moral values and feel a sense of duty.>Have you ever seen a complex Gardevoir society in the woods?They don't make cities on earth because they're native to another world."It resembles a maiden in appearance, but it wields strange powers to project visions of paradise."
>>58493959No, it doesn't. It comes across as a guy giving his pokemon a place to sleep.
>>58493786Beheeyem made a space ship, and Malamar made that terraforming thing and the time machine.
Gardevior is basically human so it's okay for me to marry it.
>>58493959The Pokédex only says that about a few Pokemon and Gardevoir isn’t one of them.>>58494032It’s sleeping on what looks like a pet bed.
>>58493959yeah, if you don't want them to be sleeping in the same bed (which is very understandable) then just put two regular-ass beds in the room. hell, have a bunk bed.
>>58494010>there's obviously no evolutionary advantage to risking your life for members of completely separate species
>>58494070They're in a symbiotic relationship.
>>58494085*romantic
>>58491001The face you make when he finally agrees to the sex you've been quietly begging for.
>>58494102Is Gardevior gay?
>>58494069Gardevoir stand, or kneel, while sleeping. A bed is completely unnecessary for Gardevoir. A soft place for his knees, like that mat, is all he'd need or want. And he can still crawl into his trainers bed if he really wanted to.
>>58494117
>>58493873That Lucario example isn’t the best. Plenty of people refer to their beloved pet as their best friend, but that doesn’t make pets the same level as humans.
>>58494157>Plenty of people refer to their beloved pet as their best friendAnd their "student"??
>>58494010>They don't make cities on earth because they're native to another world.I never heard of that headcanon before>"It resembles a maiden in appearance, but it wields strange powers to project visions of paradise."Being able to show visions to people doesn't mean you come from another world, it just means you have psychic powers>>58494085Maybe Gardevoir forms symbiotic relationships with the people and Pokemon it protects, too
>>58494055The needs of a pokemon are different from the needs of a human.
>>58493385my garde gf sleeping on snorlax's big belly after being bred...
>>58493306objectively better than my life in every single way so yes
I'd let other trainers molest my Gardevoir while I watch
>>58494242*my garde gf getting bred by snorlax and resting on his big belly while I watch Ftfy
>>58493369>I highly doubt this is much of a thing for Pokémon. It's canon that all species of Pokémon have at minimum human-level cognition.NPCs in zaza talk about pokemon shit and there is a quest in sun and moon where you clean up after pokemon
>>58494793also Pokedex entries say people keep Darumaka's poop in pockets during winter because they're warm
>>58493171>>58491001You know what digimon do because the creator isn't a retarded petfag? They eat at the table because they're regarded as equals!
>>58495082
>>58495098
>>58495098>>58495106Almost as if the writers can't decide.
>>58493764Cuuuute
>>58495127It's not the writers, it's a corporate mandate.
