So what happen to all the pokemon a trainer owns if he/she were

The responsible thing would be to release them, give them away, or sell them. Or you could be a dick and let them rot away in your PC, or slave away on Pelago for all eternity.

>Given away
>Released
>Kept as a companion
Either one of these.

Depends on the trainer, but I presume that if they aren't given away to a younger trainer or turned into breeding studs/mares, they'd retire alongside the trainer.

Releasing is an option, but unless the trainer was a massive jerk, I doubt pokémon would be fine with simply leaving their life companion behind.

Is it loyal?

Keep it untik the end.

>No
Edible?

Release

Make them work in the mines in Pelago and make sell all that shit.

We see old retired trainers in SM, they keep their Pokes as pets, some even have them help out with work they do, if the Pokemon is able to.

Can't be that hard to make money in a humane fashion off of most Pokemon.

Those Eeveelution trainers from 30 years ago still have their Eeveelutions.

So in most cases, they're kept as pets.

Those are rather poor examples as those trainers generally have only 1-2 pokemon. Either they already released the majority of their mons or they were never serious trainers and only caught 1 or 2 in their entire career.

A better question is what happens when the Pokemon outlive the trainer.

>>30764387
One of them even died and left theirs to her granddaughter.

You get a decent seed for a Mystery Dungeon campaign.

And that one anime episode with the gengar line champion.

>>30764979
The anime had ninetail wanting Brock to be her trainer.

And the ghosts that belonged to that long dead pirate captain.
