Pokémon spends a lot of time—a silly amount of time, really—explaining how the fighting you’re doing against other trainers isn’t a bad thing, it’s not cruel. It’s more like sport. They like doing it. You bond with them over it. Everyone faints, no one dies. And when you’re fighting Team Rocket, well, that’s just a good cause. Something your Pokémon believe in just as much as you do.

So the lore goes, anyway. A bit naive, but sincere and earnest. Good values.

This very funny Palworld description is saying it’s okay to treat them like slaves.

Like, they might not want to work on your cabin for you, but actually, there is no labor board to stop you from forcing them to. Do you think that keeping slaves is funny? Like, no other context, just: I have slaves, that is funny to me.

If the writer of this laugh out loud, very funny steam description doesn’t mean it that way, they should change the joke. As a high-school graduate, you should be able to pick up subtext like this. It’s very simple.

Sorry for the bold, I just wanted to make sure you saw me insulting you.

Keep in mind, I’ve never played this game: I have no opinions. Are they treated like slaves? Would you care to enlighten us?
