At this point, I think they're just playing up its trollish nature. It did go out of its way to obscure the ponyta during the stream twice, even though most of the other pokemon didn't seem to even be aware of the camera. Dang thing's trying to be tricksy, see?
I sort of like how they’re treating it literally as a troll that just gets in the way and never really acknowledging it but at the same time, I also want to stage a riot because I feel bad for my little goat... #releaseimpidimp
