This topic is one with many things to consider. I will not go into too much detail about it but I have written pages and pages about this stuff and I considered using it as a media project.
If Pokemon existed and came into being somehow there would, as this thread proves, an awful amount of people willing to take in pokemon and befriend them. However, something you have to take into consideration is the media's influence on this, and by media I mean the anime and games. The majority of pokemon fans would act in such a way towards pokemon simply because they've seen Ash, Red or some other figurehead act the same way and they understand that it is socially acceptable.
The sad fact is though that the majority of people on the planet and most probably all of the influential people don't watch Pokemon and therefore don't know what it is about or what is/n't socially acceptable in their Universe. If Pokemon did spontaneously appear in the world, extermination or containment of the pokemon would be unavoidable and that means most pokemon fans would conform or become fugitives and I know it's only hypothetical but let's be honest, when faced with a decision of your life, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for a single pokemon? Would you? I know I said no.
