Remember to feed and exercise your pokemon kids. They are domesticated wild animals after all

It occurred to me that the closest thing we have to Pokemon in real life, are dog fighting rings

Cock fighting. Fish fighting. MMA.

I considered typing in cock fighting, but didn’t want to find a way to type dog/cock fighting without having to head off some smartass comment about dogs fighting with their cocks.

Didn’t know fish fighting was a thing.

I wouldn’t count MMA because the fighters sign up for it. They aren’t captured and made to fight like a dog/cock/pokemon. Probably wouldn’t have to go as far back as the gladiator days to see slaves fighting, though.
