>>56831775>Paldea is extremely safePokemon all over randomly become juiced up with Tera energy because Area Zero is constantly discharging Tera radiation to the rest of the region, and that's not counting Tera Raid Crystals, which house much stronger Pokemon that require dedicated teams to subdue. Jacq will outright tell you to stay away from 6 star raids because of how dangerous they are, and you can't even attempt them until the postgame—I can't imagine the government doesn't have a dedicated department for dealing with them, or at least Gym leaders or veterans that periodically patrol around major cities.
They send out kids to explore unsupervised because treasure hunting is deeply ingrained in their culture—and the Academy is filled with people of all ages, not just children. There's probably the understanding that they're free to go wherever they wish, but if they fuck around they're bound to find out and they shouldn't go in over their heads.
But then again, apparently the entire teaching staff got replaced because some kids were being mean to other kids, and this resulted in an altercation that...didn't even end up in violence? Fuck Team Star in general, holy fuck that whole storyline is cringe. Maybe Geeta just needed an excuse to replace the old guard or something.
