Not even remotely the same as Ash flat out said that he caught it in the same episode even if the capture happened offscreen. Plus Lapras was actually used in his party as an active member. You can’t even compare it to a reserve because when it came to his reserves like Muk and Kingler, Ash has...

Honestly, I don’t believe that to be the case with the first point because had that actually been the case, there would be some form of evidence or even hint at it belonging to him somewhere within the past 20 years of the anime. I feel that that is a massive hole in the logic on the part of...

Care to elaborate on why?

I think we all know the reason Kantonian Mr. Mime was picked: Detective Pikachu Mr. Mime memes.

Look after is not the same as come under one’s ownership. When a Pokémon who is known to be a caretaker is told to look after someone, that implies be their caretaker as they’re someone you trust to take care of that person. And given how they’ve basically retconned it’s personality into a meme...

Because of the fact that it’s a complete asspull that they even claim that it’s his Pokémon in the first place considering that not only has it been with his mother since day 1 but at literally no point was it shown to have been captured or under his command before the Battle Frontier episode...

I wouldn’t say that Muk likes Oak better as it’s been shown to give Ash the same affection as Oak when it gets to be around Ash. And Oak is its caretaker so there’s definitely a trust there. It doesn’t seem so different to how Paul’s Electabuzz listened to Reggie when Team Galactic attacked.

You are aware that in the Pokémon world there’s more to life than just battles. We’ve seen Pokémon who legitimately don’t battle and take up other jobs. Pokémon have been construction/demolition crews, actors, entertainers, research assistants, helped with botanical careers, firefighters...

Seems more akin to a rental Pokémon though since his mom just left Mimey there to take care of him.

There’s a fine line between a Pokémon being left around them to act as a caretaker and them being left to be a party member for a trainer as it completely changes up the dynamic usage of said Pokémon. Mimey has never been presented as one who cared about battling so this is a kind of development...

Which makes absolutely no sense considering that Mimey had bonded with Ash’s mother going all the way back to it’s debut. It barely interacted with Ash in that episode and has hardly since. What drugs are these people on that Mimey would even come close to being Ash’s Pokémon?

Considering they neither offered any explanation nor showed Ash catching Mimey, it really feels like they’re just pulling shit out of their asses and feel like they don’t have to explain anything because they feel their audience are too stupid to realize it makes no sense.
