>people in the past: “pokemon has no government! It’s an ancap world! This is proven because corporations easily take advantage of people (in the gen 6+ games) and the government or closest entities to the government rarely interfere”
>”just disregard the police in earlier gens or even new gens”
>then this shit appears
Is it just safe to assume that the Pokémon world has a government, it’s just that
A. Their government buildings are in different locations, maybe ones hard to access by villain team grunts and potential bad actors, and also talking to government employees and politicians would probably be boring
B. They either take a hands off approach to bad world ending stuff because usually a trainer comes in and saves the day, or they’re straight incompetent, or some of both?
