And they had weapons back then son, this was pre-"it's its own near-earth universe" setting so that's once again a bust because why would people give a fuck. We saw you can damage pokéballs or psychically prevent them opening, so it's getting really hard to understand why they didn't grease the troublemaker kid abnd barrel him.
Almost as if they wanted to make the game progression interesting, but not put any thought into it in regards to the overall world (because it was only meant to be a one'n'done, until Tajiri saw kids of all ages going loopy for *his* creation), then re-used the team, becvause they were looking to shave down dev cycle time and re-using everything they could was the order of the day.
