What do your pokémon mean to you?

[Humor him, he's genuinely curious.]

Friends that know how to take care of themselves.

If that is the case then why do they stay with us?

Who knows, they have the free will to chose whatever they want.

Through for certain pokémon it's because their trainers are their surrogate parents.

Parents? I take it you mean for monsters raised from eggs?

And staying because they want to makes me wonder about why bad owners still have monsters then. I have yet to see an abandoned monster, or hear of one leave a trainer of their own free will.

[Text] fine stay anon forever >:C

Yeah for hatched pokémon, the first person they see are their trainers.

It's not that hard to believe that it's a twisted sense of love, duty or loyalty for their trainers.

If a pokémon is unwanted by a trainer, they can be traded to another person.
Personally, I made it clear to my pokémon that if they don't want to stick around, they can leave anytime they want.

[meatysoviet]

Love, Duty and Loyalty are never twisted. It is strange to me that you actually tell your monsters they can leave after you catch them, is most odd.

Saves you an uprising I suppose.

Oh believe they can though I'm talking from my experiences.

I'm the kind of person that hates being told what to do without being given any say in the matter. If I feel trapped or constrained I will lash out, that can get messy.

So I always give my pokémon a choice in what they want to do unless it's a dire situation.

How very revolutionary.

[It's probably a good thing this is on text right now, he would be able to stop some emotion leaking into his tones, and his expression is far from savoury.]

I have found all things dislike choice, be it making one, following through with it, or holding their tongue when the outcome is not to their liking. Am finding people lash out whatever situation though these are just... My experiences.

Then again, we are all from different backgrounds, so there is most likely some truth in both our thoughts.

[killer_sweets]

That's probably true, my background being particularly unique case.

My parents normal gave my siblings and I, a choice. Sometimes it was in our favor and something it wasn't.

[Lalala let's not go down the road of history/childhood choices, he doesn't really want to remember much of his own/have reason to think on it.]

I see. Well... Good for you I suppose.

What works for you works for you.

I'm guessing you're in the 'use pokémon as weapons' approach to training.
