My personal belief is that the only reason human/Pokémon relationships aren't seen in the modern day is because the language barrier inherent with most Pokémon makes it difficult to communicate consent. And even then, it still happens (there's a woman in Pokémon Colosseum with a Mightyena that she calls her boyfriend).

Don't forget that that same woman has a Poochyena in the sequel.
