Yeah, I went there.
Just the Facts:
- 10 year old boys are sent into the wilderness to capture dangerous animals for sport.
- The pokemon have wiped out every animal and insect on earth. How are we not extinct?
3. There seems to be a pokemon for every job. How do we have an economy?

Child Care:
At the start of the anime, Ash Ketchum is sent out of home to become a pokemon master, with nothing but a bipolar rat as protection.
Don't worry, he's a pro.
First off, I wasn't allowed to sleep in my treehouse when I was 10, but this kid gets to leave home and go on adventures? Why not me? Why can't we go on adventures and leave home when we're ten years old? The answer is simple: CHILDREN THAT YOUNG DON'T KNOW CRAP ABOUT ANYTHING. Let's hold off on the obvious dangers of walking around in the woods by yourself at 10 years old. For instance, did you know how to:
- Cook and prepare food.
- Read a map
- First Aid
- Know when someone is lying to you
- How to spend money wisely
Not to mention the dangers of bad weather, pedophiles, getting sick, or fire breathing, poisonous, lightning shooting death creatures that will attack you the minute you step in tall grass.
Also, sword handed dinosaurs.
But thats just Ash's story, which brings me to my next character.
The horniest guy to ever be put on a childrens cartoon.
Brock, an 18 year old, supervises Ash and his 10 year old companion Misty. So, an 18 year old kid gets to watch 2 10 year olds in the woods? Somebody call Chris Hansen.

Technology:
They say that neccessity is the mother of invention, but if you have Pokemon that can do anything for you, technology is going to take a big hit. But when there's little necessity to get pregnant with invention, the chances that technology will emerge slightly retarded or perhaps a stillbirth become increasingly high. As a result, big name corporations won't be researching advances in communication, transportation or energy and would instead be inventing, say, more powerful Pokeballs.
Screw Internet! This is where the money is!

Evolution:
A biological monstrosity.
What purpose do extra dimensional letters serve? Why do sea slugs on the west coast look completely different than those on the east coast? Some Pokemon evolutions make no sense (A UFO turning into a tank). IF they have so many Evolutions possible, whats stopping us from evolving? Why can't I spray lazers from my armpits or make it rain when I eat? Whats to stop me from becoming Chuck Norris?

Terrorism:
![We are at Alert Level: [filtered]](http://cdn1.gamepro.com/global/radar/blog_images/103366-29.jpg)
Set terror alert: rainbow
Whether they want to flood the earth or just call dibs on some fossils, terrorists and criminal organizations run wild in the Pokemon universe. Every town in Pokemon has someone was robbed, or a CEO is being held hostage, or they're trying to kill ghosts, or the worst crime of all, THEY WON'T TAKE ONE STEP TO THE SIDE SO I CAN ENTER A BUILDING! Consider this, of all the trainers in the show that were battled, how many were members of Team Rocket? A little less than half, right? How many cops are there? How many jails or courthouses did we see on the way to the Indigo Plateau? The Pokemon universe is a lawless frontier. It is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. It's the wild west, but with dragons and catchy music.
