Why is he kicking Herdier?
>>58843522Because he's an asshole.
that herdier deserves beatings
>>58843522>you can't hurt the pokemon>but erm having them fight and die for you is okhypocritical much?
>>58843522That Herdier is spoiled, you do not know what you are talking about troll
>>58843543My head-canon is that Pokemon are predisposed to like to battle one another, and then when you catch it in game, it is implied that it is ok with wanting to battle. But in-universe if the pokemon really does not want to battle it would be considered unethical to force them to. Or maybe that's just my cope.
>>58843552There are so many Pokedex entries about how certain Pokemon do not want to fight. This is cope.
>>58843522Because he’s the bad guy.
>>58843522This implies there was already a divide in Team Plasma since the start of BW1. There was the half who cared for Pokemon and the other half who wanted to steal Pokemon and kick Munna.God, gen 5 is so kino.
>>58843598>This implies there was already a divide in Team Plasma since the start of BW1yeah, you can already see it during N's Castle
>>58843522It's the easiest way to convey that he is a bad guy to children
>>58843552This could've been avoided with slightly tweaked wording, like using "stamina" instead of "HP" and saying Pokémon were "knocked-out" instead of fainting. It would imply Pokémon battling is more like combat sports rather than two animals beating each other until they're unconscious.
ghetsis is smiling down on this in heaven
>>58843522Because he's a criminal that wants to kidnap and use that Herdier for crime. So, he's trying to force it into submission by abusing it.
>>58843552this isn't cope this is just you paying attention to the lore and getting it exactly as Game Freak intended
