Why Do People Like The Way Trainers Catch Pokémon In The Anime?

Instead of normal Trainers encountering a wild Pokémon, fight it, weakening it, and catching it in a normal way, they constantly helped the wild Pokémon, bond with it, and if it wants to his/her team, they caught it! I get that it’s for the character development, but it’s too damn many! I just want to see main characters obtain more than six Pokémon like Goh! I don’t care you guys hate him for doing that and not developing his Pokémon, I want to see a variety of Pokémon being used, instead of the standard six or fewer Pokémon! So do the kids watching the anime! Not all kids like to see cutesy Pokémon doing cutesy stuff! It’s boring! They want to see the main and side characters using powerful cool, strange, odd, and monstrous looking Pokémon in a Pokémon battle! I can’t be the only one in the world that cares about this problem!

In a setting like the anime where pokemon are treated as actual living creatures and creatures with decent intelligence it is much better that they be befriended rather than battled and caught. Some choose to do both and that's sick.

In the game it doesn't matter cause the pokemon barely gets treated as equals as they are in the anime

Well no more accurately it would be like if we called dogs barks because they bark. Or called cats meows because they meow. It's how newborn pokemon know the name. Because their species names that people call them are just based on the sounds they make. As far as the anime universe is concerned.

And while it may or may not be stupid it is just how the setting is.

Their cries aren’t supposed to sound like humans saying vowels! I’m done! I can’t deal with you! Either you’re just an anime only and just accept whatever bulls**t the anime throws at you, or you have a nostalgic bias towards the anime and you can’t even criticize it!

Dude your post is about the anime that's why I keep talking about the anime.

them saying their name is a creative/marketing choice. But in universe of the anime the pokemon are named after the sounds they make. Not saying the names humans gave them. That's why pokemon who have never met humans still say the name

As for games we don't know why pokemon they have the names they do. Cause they make different noises in the games except for the few games where Pikachu and Eevee say Pikachu and Eevee

In the anime the main cast of the current generation usually keep six or less Pokemon since Ash was the primary focus, and having two other trainers with over six Pokemon each wouldn't give much time to get to know each one. Ash usually caught more Pokemon in since he was the one battling more than his companions. Other character like Gary and Paul caught Pokemon with little to no thought, but we didn't see them on a regular basis. Even with Goh he kept a few of his most prominent Pokemon on hand.

With Satoshi, that’s a different case! Since he always travels to different regions with his Pikachu, he can have another ace Pokémon to focus on! Starter Pokémon are always the main focus anyway! And not every single Pokémon on his team and his companions’ team has to have a lot of screen time! Like I said, they can sprinkles some of them here and there, but not all the time!

I can agree. Though honestly I think a big contributing factor is the fact that a lot of the anime is filler, (Around 40%) and most Pokemon generations last at least 3 years. So they need stretch the events of a game most people will beat in around a month give or take to around thirty times that. Hence why we have a bunch of episodes where they simply have a side adventure, don't capture any Pokemon, or meet a character who never shows up again.

If that’s the case, then they either need to make an episode every two weeks or a month, or make episodes expanding the world building like more Pokémon battles (battles against the Idiot Trio don’t count), more Pokémon captures and trades, and side quests. They’ve could have done that, but didn’t.
