>>48934923>Since Kanto had talk about a war in its backstory, maybe gangs rose up in power while most able bodied men were off fighting?Didn't this actually happen irl Japan? Honestly works well.
>>48934923>Depending on if we lean towards Anime Brock or Game Brock, he might be in debt with the local mob to cover for the metric fuckton of kids his dad abandoned (anime) or he might just have a huge fucking ego.Both work. I kinda like that angle since it plays up Brock's responsibility, but due to taking a path the anime hinted at early on with how he'd be a natural battler rather than a breeder.
Also for the pure hell of it, make him a ladies man who has no time for them. He'd rather hone his battling skills to the fullest to support his family.
