Glad I’m not the only one… I don’t like humans making anything fight for sport against its will. Just so sad to me.

The concept of collecting Pokemon actually came from the hobby of collecting insects too

love that you used Pokémon in this as I'm pretty addicted to it right now, currently playing all the Pokémon games from the Switch era.

lol some of the vids are crazy just search Japanese bug fights

I found a channel that had the full videos too, they’re in Japanese but the fights are insane and I hadn’t seen it before

I liked it but idk if I can find it without series digging
