[01:57] debaser247: man now, pokemon trainers are just going to be scuzzy delinquent teen runaways in my mind
[01:59] What a Dylemma: It makes sense from a realistic point of view. Kids who run away from home at the age of 10, never go to school and end up dumb and ignorant as hell about everything besides Pokemon, probably don't get the chance to learn how to interact like normal, social human beings...
[01:59] debaser247: as a result, they form these highly exclusive groups in towns
[02:00] debaser247: bumming around, asking for change.
[02:00] debaser247: theyre essentially homeless
[02:00] debaser247: hanging around training for each gym leader
[02:00] debaser247: the pokemon center is like the ymca
[02:01] What a Dylemma: Ash, Misty, and Brock pretty much did the same thing in the show, now that I think about it. How many episodes started out with them being starving, broke, and wandering around some city aimlessly until they run into the character and Pokemon of the day?
[02:01] debaser247: exactly, the cartoon just made it all cute
[02:02] debaser247: in reality it would be a pretty big issue
[02:02] debaser247: like
[02:02] debaser247: political leaders would use policies on dealing with these homeless kids as political platforms
[02:03] debaser247: higher quality facilities at the pokemon centers.
[02:04] debaser247: more accessible gym battles to reduce the amount of trainers getting stuck in one town for a long period of time
[02:05] debaser247: in fact, I bet theres a lot of tension between the political system and the pokemon league council
[02:06] What a Dylemma: Along with a bunch of activists who want to ban the act of Pokemon training and battling due to what it does to society. But everyone knows it will never happen, knowing the big bucks it brings in from kids buying Pokeballs, Super Potions, Water Stones, and Porygons
[02:06] debaser247: indeed.
[02:07] debaser247: it also brings in the question of who exactly if profiting from that merchandise
[02:07] debaser247: probably a lot of shady dealing that go on between the government and the pokemon council
[02:08] debaser247: the council probably gets all that money on paper, but I would bet a large portion of it goes into bribes in order to keep the government under their thumbs
[02:10] What a Dylemma: Definitely. The council might even fund terrorist groups like Team Rocket and Team Galactic in order to distract the public from the true issues at hand
[02:10] debaser247: holy shiiiiit
[02:11] debaser247: team rocket is only there to unite the common people AGAINST people who mistreat pokemon
[02:11] debaser247: its all propaganda
[02:12] debaser247: that is their sole purpose
