>the year is 2046
>To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the franchise, and to celebrate the global white population being cut by 98% since 2020 (The Year of Our Lord), Pokémon Privilege and Pokémon Poverty have been announced
>The game is a transformative tale where the protagonist of Privilege Version (a white kid), falls deep into their own immoral nature and loses everything by the end
>In contrast, the protagonist of Poverty Version, a black youth, rises out of poverty in a white supremacist system out of pure merit, becoming an esteemed Pokémon scholar by the end
>the game has 50 new Pokémon, being joined with 151 old ones, for a total of 201
>the game, at the advice of Pokémon's new parent company Disney, can't be too challenging, so battles basically play themselves
>in Poverty Version, your Pokémon are invincible due to the power of friendship and if you call out the names of previous US saints (such as "Till!", "George Floyd!", "Trayvon!", "Breonna!"), they will power up with the new regional gimmick, Wakandamax
>in Privilege however, the protagonists are white therefore have no virtue or spirit, and do not get these benefits, in fact black trainers can use these gimmicks on the player instead
>gameplay in the game is mostly absent for accessibility reasons, outside of the automated battles you can walk around and progress the story with a dialogue wheel of 4 similar options
>Pokémon Home is still pending release, so you cannot transfer old Pokémon, and they probably aren't coded in anyway
>Exp Share is still the norm, in Privilege Version you get 2x exp until the story takes a turn and the protagonist fails in life due to their poor character, the opposite is true in Poverty Version
