>>55411639can i explain the idiosyncrasies and long-winded (somewhat ongoing) moral debate\self-reflection that gen V brings to the franchise in a shitpost on this underwater mongolian imageweaving forum?
probably not
and technically the games themselves didnt answer their own questions that were asked
to quickly surmise
in my opinion -
it is a long allegory in regards to using animals as "attractions" or "theme parks" ala blackfish or american traveling circuses in the early 19th century
the idea that animals are tools to be used
or a means to an end for profit generation
+the socio-economic issues that are deeply entangled\entrenched within
>BW(2) is the only main series game where you directly OWN and control a strip mall +have direct control over what small business survive or are evicted ROSA is fucking OP as fuck
>movie star>world champion >fucks up other famous trainers from other regions>stops team plasma alone>shows up alder, even as a young teenbattle subway is the last of the ridiculous post-game where many of the challenges are unbeatable to be seen in any main series game ever again
inherently abstract philosophical debate of ideals vs truths
>america in real life: subway in new york city is an unsafe shitshow and completely crime ridden>people blame administrations or government but the reality is it doesn't matter who is president or which side of the aisle temporarily has power
the complex nature of reality is what it is
tldr; it is always our own decision who we are and we shouldnt write ourselves off as victims of a confluence of various forces
choose to show valour in the face of adversity
no one will ever help you if you dont ask etc
