Pokemon is a show about cartoonized cockfighting. It shouldn't be about happiness and sunshine and rainbow sprinkles like the anime wants to make us think it is. There should be numerous cases of neglect, abuse, blood, gore, gambling, criminal activities, and overeager fans on the show. If anything they should take it all the way like have pikachu get stolen by team flare who sells it to an underground cage fighting gladiatormon circuit where Ash has to kill or incapacitate the enemy's pokemon further than swirly eyes, also no nurse joys allowed.
