>>48044199It was never a utopia. Kanto was fucking crime ridden full of thugs, Rockets which sold/killed Pokemon while robbing people's homes, power crazed scientist, high levels of pollution, and general urban decay.
There's also the implied war which took place. Where did people get the notion the series was a "utopia" to begin with? It's catered to children and lower age demographics primarily, so there's only so much they can show. Realistically given the crime and corruption, rape and murder also are still an issue.
