You mean to tell me that in all of Lumios City the only person who attempted to stop a rampaging Garchomp is Ash Ketchum? And THEN we see that there's other competent trainers in the area who just didn't do anything?

Same logic applies to the games? Of all the capable trainers in the world a random ten year old who just happens to be in the right place at the right time topples an entire crime syndicate and/or cult? SEVEN TIMES?

that's to service the gameplay. The anime has no gameplay to service. In similar TV series we at least see the adults try something, in pokemon everyone just watches

To be fair, the seventh time was a family affair, so it was going to be addressed by either you or Hau or it wasn't going to be addressed at all, since Lillie had no other friends.

No? The far more common trope is for adults to be either oblivious or useless

Ash got to it first and knew what was going on in the first place. It's not until after that you see Clemont and Bonnie's dad jump in to do something. after Ash dives for Pikachu.

Pokemon never even employs the "adults are useless" trope the way most other franchises do, by making it absolutely clear that's the show's intent

Pretty sure that well regarded third Digimon series had the adults spend every waking moment trying to help. I guess they're different genres

The MC's in Pokémon games are broken, they're not a random trainer.

Except there aren't any. Everyone in the games is a shitter except for you. From Gen III onward, you're basically the messiah.
