    If it was in the US, it would quickly turn into palworld.

    There would be no rioting in the US. Just corporations scamming you with „insurance”

      The U.S. has been trained to see protesting as a bad thing, so now we all just take the hits and blame neighbors whose political values don’t line up with ours.

        It’s amazing how many people I meet who think so highly of the American revolution, but are completely aghast at the idea of fighting against the government now.

          While simultaneously opposing any form of gun control so they can fight… something?

          Apparently the only protest worth anything is one where you’re shooting at someone

            Shooting at people is an American tradition. We can’t let our kids forget what this nation was built upon.

    Someone should make a ROM hack where Pokémon centres charge a game-world fee equivalent to what a person would pay for healthcare for serious injuries in the US, with insurance and loan sharks.

      Do the rom hack right.

      • Toll roads everywhere. Paid each time you enter.
      • Pokemart is a monopoly and gouges you.
      • Arceusism is the state religion and others are barely tolerated.
      • Gyms are privatized and cost per attempt.
      • Pokemon sweatshops.
      • PC access is a freemiun model where you get the first 5 for free, but beyond that you have to pay for Pokestorage+ and pay monthly. Also pokes come out hating you so pretty sure they getting abused. And occasionally pokes get lost.

        Cost per attempt? Gyms require an annual membership fee, and good luck ever canceling

        Pokémon Sweatshops

        I think that was literally a plot point in one of the earlier games or anime? That one will be easy to adapt, just make Team Rocket the heroes for being shrewd businesspeople and you the villain for daring to question the will of the free market.

    Fun fact: This happens in Pokemon Sun and Moon, when Team Skull takes over one of the towns. They charge a whopping 10 Pokedollars.

      I mean, why would pokemon be on the side of team rocket or whatever other villainous (often apocalyptic) group the games have? They just follow whoever catches them no matter what.

      Why are suffering lower/middle class people opposed to protests for better social security and medical systems? Are they stupid?

      But fr tho sometimes people are just blind. If you have been a slave (pokemon) for life then its hard to break your chains.

      Why wouldn’t they? Team Rocket/MagmAqua/Galactic/Plasma/Flare all have pokemon fighting with them. They listen to the trainer, not the moral obligation of the society.

      Pokemon in all versions of Pokemon are literal slaves. They have no free will if they are in a Poke Bowl. And depending on the movie - that free will can be overwritten again by a Psychic Type Pokemon.

    Why there is no debate on Pokemon in this community I thought it is related to Pokemon Infinite fusion.
