Do the pokemon die?
NO THEY FAINT
FAINT
If going to sleep is considered cruel, I am the cruelest person on earth!
But they get attacked first! And they attack each other! They don't even get to rest, they get sucked up in a tiny ball and the bounced around by their masters until it's time for them to attack another one.
And then, worst of all, the "masters" collect these living, breathing things like they are some kind of trophies. How would you like it if you were flaunted around and forced to fight like a slave? D:
