And this list doesn't even include the old cockfighting and poaching crimes that Pokémon has gotten so famous for.
Anything can be evil if you look at it as if the glass is half-empty. So, I'll look at the glass half-FULL~
1) Nope, they just faint. But then again, Raticate are plentiful. We probably saved something else in the food chain.
2) We gave our rival a new goal and made him more independent!
3) That man was evil. We did the world a favor!
4) Red doesn't actually die (aka I can't think of a way of looking at this positively).
5) It gains us notoriety!
See!? POSITIVE!!!1
This is two steps away from the "Pokemon is cockfighting" nonsense.
Thinking positive isn't always a good thing. What if we wanted the Raticate alive?
Pokemon is cockfighting, though...
Minus the "Pokemon don't kill each other" bit.
And the "Pokemon enjoy battling as exercise" part.
And the "Pokemon aren't real creatures" thing.
But other than that, yeah, they're completely the same.
Knowing people who are involved in the whole cockfighting thing, they don't always have them fight to the death, sometimes they'll have a time limit to how long they go on for, like boxing.
The uncreative people haven't found this thread yet.
Also, "shower bloodbaths"?
Says you.
God I want that hat.

Our game characters force poor Dittos to make love with many pokemon multiple times just because our character "doesn't want that nature".
Your game character is evil.
1. You beat up random Pokemon (random encounters/EV Training)
2. You take down Team Rocket/Galactic/Magma/Aqua and cause hundreds of grunts to lose their jobs
3. You treat a Pokemon badly and force them to carry you up mountains, smash rocks, etc. (HM Slaves)
4. You leave weak Pokemon to rot in your PC, or you force them out into the wild at a very young age (Chain Breeding)
1) Some people claim that we kill our rival's Raticate...
2) Then we crush his dream and steal his grandfather's love
3) We drive Giovanni to suicide (or so I heard...)
4) It's probably the same with Red...
5) Some people say that the Pokédex entries are the results of experiments done by the "hero" on his/her pokémon...
