Tbf, the vast majority of these creatures are significantly more powerful than humans, and many significantly smarter. They seem perfectly okay with it. I mean hell, you can capture and battle with Poke-God himself. I like to think of it more like a sport all pokemon love or some shit than Pal World-type slavery.
Looks like me and the homies are getting stuck in the Lethal Company universe. We’re probably fine. Unless we work for The Company, then we’re fucked.
