>>48960500To be fair a lot of the early pokemon anime contains unrealized themes, tones and concepts that were never really thought through at the time. Much like yugioh season 1 you have a lot of stuff that makes zero sense in the context of the franchise like real world animals such as dogs and fish around, which i am sure got retconned by never being talked about again. I'm willing to bet guns dont even exist in pokemon despite James waving one around at one point
