>>52261098my personal theory is that league stuff is there to weed out the autists that wouldn't be able to function in society otherwise. they stay there and think about pokemon, while everyone else gets a real job. there are companies like sliph that make things to get money off the autists, but there's not much else.
anyone who gets anywhere near leader/e4/champ territory is terminally poke-autistic, especially so young, and they have to be quarantined from society.
except steven stone, he just has run-of-the-mill rock autism and money to pay a poke-autist for a good team. his dad says he can play pokemans until someone beats him, then he has to come home and run a company.
