>>57445648>Be honest, if you were in the Pokemon world do you think you'd have the chops to become a Pokemon Master™?I've noticed three things:
1. The Pokemon Trainer you play as should be considered an exceptional freak of nature. They only care about Pokemon, they're completely stoic in the face of insurmountable odds and unspeakable danger, they desire little to no creature comforts, they're completely devoted mind, body, and soul, to the Pokemon grind. Nothing about what the PC does is normal.
2. The difficulty of training and caring for Pokemon seems to be circumvented by normal people via whatever their job, lifestyle, or occupation is. Gardnerers associate with grass-types, children with too much free-time train short-lived bug-types over the summer, farmers acquire normal or ground types, people who possess psionics or the discipline for martial arts rally psychic and fighting-types to their side, and Dragon-type trainers seem to come from a specific line or cultural background.
3. Wild Pokemon can absolutely kill people; trainers seem to endear their own Pokemon through a mixture of strong or sentimental emotional bonds, or displays of competency and strength, either way every Pokemon is a relationship.
Again, the fighting and psychic-type trainers really seem to demonstrate the absolute most traditional and conventional relationship humans had with Pokemon: a kinetic physical one. If you don't have money, education, or culture, you'll always have the option to just remove the barriers and approach them on their level.
