By it being a robot instead of a person, the Pokemon turn from companions into tools. They are used entirely and only to battle in a Gym - they are a tool to be used by Clembot. There's no other context the anime would paint that as being okay, and I certainly don't think it's okay here. Clemont should long ago have shut the gym down - if he wants to go on a journey fine - take your Pokemon with you or leave them with a person you can trust - Clembot clearly makes a perfectly good Mr Mime.
I'd suggest that's more a product of how little we see of Gym leaders besides the battle - but nothing directly comes to my mind where a Gym leader is seen as not having a close bond with their Pokemon - they all thank them for their efforts and the like. Obviously you can program all of those particular things, but it doesn't change Clembot being a robot and that interaction being essentially fake, I can't suspend belief enough to assume Clemont could program a robot with real emotional attachment.Moe, I don't agree with you here. Even in gyms with "humans" gym leaders, Pokemon seem to be used as tools for battling. You hardly see gym leaders do anything else with their Pokemon, like for example training. And besides, who says that Clemont didn't program Clembot to train with his Pokemon, too? If it can battle with them, you can be sure it will also be capable of doing training.
How would the cpu know who hacked? why would he make it so obvious? even if it were from usernames he could've used someone else's account to hack.
