Oh my goodness. Brainstorming time! Not all of these are reasonable to ask at this point or to begin lobbying for... but that's why it's a brainstorm! Let's see what ideas we can come up with!
-Make available and encourage the adoption of technology that adjusts pokeballs to allow for consent to capture for pokemon. Regulate excessively 'powerful' pokeballs, or pokeballs which have an undue effect on the mental condition of the pokemon. Establish a consent protocol for capturing pokemon.
-Establish laws that regulate the intensity and conditions of formal poekmon battles to avoid cruelty
-Establish schools where any pokemon can learn skills unrelated to battling, without fear of capture -- even wild pokemon
-Establish large sanctuary zones where pokemon can live free from capture and coercion in general
-Reform pokemon ownership standards, encouraging a pokemon partnership model, rather than an master/slave model, with legally defined rights and obligations for both parties
-Allow a mechanism for pokemon to technologically opt-out of being captured entirely that does not require them to find a trusted human confidant to capture them and register them and them let them go do their own thing
-Reform laws to allow pokemon the legal right to own property (be it personal, private, land, intellectual, etc.), manage finances, have legal personhood, legally marry (each other as well as humans), have a right to own property and land, have a right to mobility, have a right to a family life, have a right to work for wages, have a right to use their powers for self defense, a right to political participation, a right to education, a right to a fair trial
-Adjust the requirements of league based activities to allow for trainerless teams, or teams with a pokemon trainer, as well as laws that require a portion of battle earnings to go to the Pokemon involved.
-Encourage and/or mandate pokemon labor unions to negotiate conditions for pokemon used in labor and battling.
-Encourage the flourishing and protection of pokemon habitats where they are specifically exempt from human pressure or human trainer interference, and begin formally treating the organized versions of these enclaves as the sovereign independent territories they are, and especially create a reparation and land-back initiatie to return land to Pokemon it was stolen and conquered from. Further, damages and reparations should be paid to pokemon communities that have been devastated by being subjected to slavery
-Regulations for spaces, especially public spaces, be designed for unballed pokemon wherever possible, by improving architectural standards
-Change laws that allow for locations to bar unballed pokemon and which make segregation legal
-Establish a council of intelligent Pokemon, INCLUDING INTERESTED LEGENDARIES, to advise for legal and regulatory changes which impact Pokemon's lives, as well as formal watchdog commities to keep checks on potential exploitation
-Allow for Pokemon to be able to vote in Democratic institutions and run for office in Republic institutions
-Complete legal recognition of Pokemon as non-human persons, with full legal protections and rights
-Create an agency for regular audits on pokemon training facilities, and other powerful centers to maintain ethical treatment in the areas of greatest power
-Create mechanisms and prtoections for both Pokemon and humans to report abuses without fear of reprisal
-Create legal penalties where trainers face real legal penalties if they break agreed-upon contracts with their pokemon, and further, mandate the use of defined legal contracts which clearly outline the expectations and responsibilities of both parties, with opt out clauses for pokemon, and create comprehensive standards for these contracts, having them be based on informed mutual consent rather than coercion or dramatic power difference
-Require extra mandatory training for trainers to pass new ethical and moral standards before receiving their license, and require regular evaluations and renewals of licenses, with an eye towards agency and moral treatment of the pokemon in question, including interviews of the pokemon WITHOUT the trainer persent
-Legally protect a pokemon's right, even while in a position where they are under a trainer, the right to refuse to participate in any battle, for any reason, without repercussions
-Establish a fund to provide for legal defense for Pokemon accused of or involved in crimes; possibly even allow for Pokemon to be formally judged by a jury of their peers and have that be valid as in a human court, and encourage the creation of courts to cater for conflicts involving pokemon, but more catering to pokemon being able to bring suits against those that wrong them, or resolving disputes between pokemon, rather than the existing trainer courts. Establish programs for Pokemon to receive free legal advice and representation
-Create a public awareness campaign, with PSA's and billboards to 'humanize' Pokemon and educate the public
-Adjust formal education curriculum to involve courses on ethical and moral treatment on pokemon
-Encouraged more combined equal classes with the more 'inherently safe even at a young age even around children' pokemon and human classes, where both are trained to read, write, in the use of assistive communicative deices, and sign language. To develop a proper pokemon-human sign language, simply place a bunch of young pokemon that vaguely have hands at a school for the deaf, encourage them and the kids to talk to each other, and have linguists on hand to record what they come up with!
-Encourage the creation of more types of non-trainer led, non-combat sports that allow Pokemon to publicly show off their abilities
-Create nesting laws, which protect the rights of Pokemon parents to protect and raise their young, and prohibit the capture of parents that are nesting and nurturing their young or the young while they are being nurtured
-Encourage a Passport system to allow Pokemon to travel freely between regions
-Introduce certification for products that are free from coerced and uncompensated labor of any sort -- especially that provided by pokemon
-Establish a platform for Pokemon to publicly share their grievances and histories
-Introduce strong laws against the forced labor, slavery, serfdom, and indentured servitude of Pokemon. ALL work or service provided by Pokemon must be voluntary, and provide minimum standards of compensation for work that is legally deemed to be functionally equivalent to employment
-Ban all forms of non-consensual medical experimentation on Pokemon
-Adjust the storage system to allow for Pokemon to not be held in stasis, but where they can engage in a virtual world, where they can live, learn, and interact with others virtually, and enter into self-selected, timered amounts of stasis time as they will from within the virtual world. Make the virtual world one with places where Pokemon can customize their individual spaces. Allow Pokemon to have communication with the outside world via email while stored.
-Mandate an automatic release function in the event of natural disaster and other emergency for the storage function.
-Introduce regulations that prevent Pokemon from being stored indefinitely
-Allow Pokemon to completely opt out of the storage system, and have regular checks with an absolute right to decide to opt out of further storage
-Mandate a right to consent or refuse participation for breeding at the so-called Daycare centers
-Provide easy access to forms of contraception that specifically works with Pokemon, for Pokemon
-Pokemon should have a right to raise their offspring for a minimum timeframe
-Regulations to prevent overbreeding or breeding only for profit or competitive advantage or Shiny-hunting, as well as regular physical and mental well being checkups for pokemon that do formally consent to a 'breeding focused' lifestyle
-Mandate minimum space, enrichment activities, and access to items to encourage health and wellness for all Pokemon at these 'Daycare Centers'
-Facilitate meetings between Pokemon and their offspring who have been separated, offering the choice for reunion
-Create schools entirely to teach basic literacy and essential life skills to Pokemon, and programs to teach older Pokemon who have gone their entire lives without education.
-Develop educational TV and Radio channels intended entirely to be useful to Pokemon in particular
-Create specialized facilities to provide education, therapy, and social skills for Pokemon who have never known life outside of servitude. Include mentorship programs to pair newly freed Pokemon with those who have integrated into society.
-Drastically regulate the use of technological devices which can directly affect the minds of Pokemon, especially those which make them subservient to humans. Adjust their function to allow a means for pokemon that are not 'wild' to be exempt from undue influence by these items, by changing them to only affect the head rather than the whole surface of the pokemon, so that wearing an appropriate helmet removes the effect
-Create designated areas where Pokemon can, even without a trainer being present, learn to control and limit their powers, and provide control training for all pokemon that go to these areas, even interested wild pokemon
-Give pokemon a right to mobility and travel without being under a trainer's control
