How are laws enforced in the Pokeworld? Does the government have a military and weapons?

What's stopping somebody from going on a mass murder spree with a Pokemon?

If we judge by game mechanics, then pretty much nothing since virtually no one has high level pokemon.

There is no central government in the Pokemon world. It's essentially the wild west and anarchy, but retards don't realize that anarchy =/= chaos.

In any case each city, town, etc has its own governing authority.

The police keep remoraids in their holsters to shoot suspects with, and the military throw voltorbs like grenades.

>Junichi Masuda once stated in an interview:
"We actually don't think of the world of Pokémon as Earth. If we were to do that, we would kind of be limited by what we could do. By thinking about how physical objects work on Earth and how various elements work on Earth, we would kind of be limited to that if we thought of it as Earth. We think of it as a place that is really similar to Earth, but is a different planet of its own with people in it who may be similar to people on Earth, but they have different values so they care about different things. It's the type of place, the Pokémon world, where problems we face on Earth just wouldn't happen. There wouldn't be global warming, water shortages, or anything like that. It's a world where the people in it really want to work together with each other. Their value system is such where they would prefer to work together and eliminate these problems rather than feud."

I think of it like how it seemed to be in X/Y.

Gym leaders are the local sheriffs. Elite 4/the Champion(mostly the champion) are the state troopers.

I like to think it greatly depends on A- how much money you have and B- because of how much money you have people are gonna listen to you because with all that money you might as well be charge

take for example Saffron City. Silph practically runs all of Saffron because they're the wealthiest corporation in Kanto and the rest of Kanto is cool with it because they profit off people buying their products which they currently run the monopoly on

So the rich rule the pokemon world and could do whatever the fuck they want without consequence. See the development of Rustboro for future examples

I always thought it was the Elite 4 and the Gym Leaders who were essentially the peace keeping force. Even in ORAS you see Steven and that effeminate Water gym leader doing all sorts of shit.

Basically this. Which is funny, because police seem to be fucking useless in Pokemon yet they still exist. I mean I suppose they're useful against low tier thugs and criminals, but in the grand scheme of things they're not much help.

The fact that literally everyone, even 10 year olds, have pokemon. If everyone owned a gun in real life there would be no crime.

Don't you get it? The Pokemon world is Ron Paul's libertarian dream.
There is almost inexistant government authority, almost everything is handled by private individuals and corporations.
Pokemon centers are clearly run by the Pokemon League, not the government, who compensate their profits with the products you buy at the Marts, and the money you spend on Pokemon.
You don't even need the police to stop crime, a 12-year-old can do it by himself, just like how in libertarian paradise society would stop crime. If a criminal starts acting up, he free market will come and stop him.

This has been a PSA sponsored by the Pokemon Libertatian Party and the Devon Corporation.
Devon. The government didnt save you from that meter, we did.

The only government figure in any Pokemon game is Drayden, the Spartan mayor.
Everywhere else, the rich guy is treated like the head honcho, like Clay in his city.
In fact, as fa as I know, taxes are never mentioned in any Pokemon game
