Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
I think they're protective of those that are closest to them, which in most cases is their Trainer, because they are so wary of emotions. So in the wild, it may be their young or anyone else that they're emotionally attached to. I assume that they are protective of their Trainers because that's their job.Let's talk about Gardevoir!
So I was checking bulbapedia because I was wondering if they had legs (they're not visible in any game sprite I as far as I can remember, but I do vaguely recall seeing them in colosseum and XD) ,and apparently they do!
However I was reading its Pokedex entries further down and pretty much all of them are about how they protect their trainer. My question is, do Gardevoir exist in the wild? If they don't have a trainer, what is their behaviour? This is why I wish Pokédex entries were a bit more in-depth.
I guess it would make sense if there didn't exist any in the wild, and the reason they protect their trainers is because they then would have have to have been (sorry for the mangled grammar there) raised by their trainer up to evolution giving them that much trust. Especially when Ralts and Kirlia are said to be emotion Pokémon!
But then what about traded Gardevoir? To they automatically protect their new trainer even if they've only known each other for a few minutes?
They aren't forced to do anything, really. It's by choice, because they're more sympathetic than other Pokémon. They can feel your emotions.That makes sense, although now I'm just again having that debate in my head about whether Pokémon that have trainers are essentially enslaved.
I mean if the trainer has raised the Gardevoir then they trust each other but if it's just their job to protect the trainer then that's kind of mean, if they would otherwise be protecting their family or whomever it is they care about in the wild.

And Pokémon aren't enslaved. There's a pretty much an unspoken covenant between them, because as soon as a Pokémon is caught, it is subject to a Trainer's commands, but isn't forced to obey them (i.e. Iris' Dragonite). It gets its chance to break free, which is why Pokémon can break out of PokéBalls, but once it is caught, it is caught. On the other hand, some Pokémon like their Trainers, and thus obey them freely and allow themselves to be caught.
I don't know. It's complicated, I guess.
