Quoted By:
Been rewatching the first season of the Pokémon anime recently, and I've come to realize something: parents in the Pokémon universe are all fucking terrible.
>Tommy the 'Kangaskhan Kid''s parents dropped him out of a plane and gave up searching for him for 5 years
>Flint and Anthony both abandon Brock and Rebecca, respectively, to become trainers
>Sabrina's parents can't even remotely get a grasp on her
>Ash's mom is clearly seen awake and ready to cheer him on in the first episode, but was unable to make sure he woke up in time
Just a few examples off the top of my head. Why does the anime insist on demonizing parental figures?
