While I still think Black and White has the most messed up plot (as in "this is a kid's game?", not badly written) with a kid being shut off from humanity to mould him into a false saviour, Gen 6 introduced a plot point that raises a lot of questions: Infinity Energy.
In X/Y in the distant past the King of Poke-France used the life energy of many Pokemon (specifically from their dead bodies), to do incredible feats like resurrecting the dead and making a pre-Christ nuke. Pretty horrifying but standard super-weapon style stuff. Things get screwier when we go on to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
We found out the Devon Corporation, who in the original game didn't do much besides make new Pokeballs, built their entire fortune and business model off of Infinity Energy. They use it to power the submarine used to find Groudon/Kyogre, the rockets at the Space Center and the initial plan to stop the meteor was to fire a rockets full of it into space to create a worm-hole.
To summarise, in this perfect happy bouncy world where firearms don't exist, they are sapping the energy of living creatures to power anything more complicated than a van. And it's not a "bad guy" thing. This is how that world works.
How do they get this energy from the Pokemon? Are they alive when it happens? Do they survive the process if so? Is it like a parallel universe where the only way to get uranium is to extract it from bunny rabbits?
Lavender Town still scary?
