!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It definitely takes the "Pokémon are slaves" thing and runs with it. You can kill and eat the pals. Some of them are very "human". You basically stop short of actually whipping them, though I'm sure they'd add that in.
Edit: maybe I'll clarify, the Syndicate is a group against the mistreatment of pals. You can capture them and force them to work for you. The player is very much the bad guy here.
The Syndicate isn't against the mistreatment of pals. It's the team rocket here. They keep pals in metal cages, which you release.
The pal liberation front is what you're describing instead.
Oh sorry. My bad. I guess I don't feel bad about enslaving those guys.
Well, yes I do, but they're darn handy.
The player is the bad guy because of a mechanic that exists but isn't encouraged? There are plenty of games that allow the player character to commit awful crimes. You only play as the bad guy if you're playing as the bad guy.
Wtf?! I guess that's part of the charm.
