>>51741401>Lt Surge mentioning a war>several pokemon having radioactive origins mentioned in their pokedex entries>the fact that you're in a lawless Tokyo overrun by criminals that doesn't seem to have a central govt anymore>the fact that there doesn't seem to be any normal animal life left in the region despite the pokedex making it clear they do exist somewhereThere are probably more things that I'm forgetting, but you get the idea. It's an old theory that doesn't fit how the Pokemon world is portrayed in new generations. In all likelihood, it's probably something that was never planned, just vague coincidental details from back when the Pokemon world was more like the world of Earthbound.
