The in game themes and anime promote the importance of trust and friendship but the game mechanics themselves basically turn the game into a genetic engineering and eugenics simulator. The very mechanics meant to make each pokemon different not only lead to them being the exact same regardless but now 99% of them are worthless and discarded on top of that.
