If course Blastoise would be a cop.
Not like anarchist queen Charizard or vegan king Venusaur.

I'll give you Venusaur but Charizard is a dyed in the wool fascist.
Choosing squirtle makes you a cop, I will take no further questions
Fun fact: This happens in Pokemon Sun and Moon, when Team Skull takes over one of the towns. They charge a whopping 10 Pokedollars.
Fall of the Soviet Union (1991, colorized)
Charizard used Eat the Rich. It's super effective!
Underrated
Omg, I love this
Someone should make a ROM hack where Pokémon centres charge a game-world fee equivalent to what a person would pay for healthcare for serious injuries in the US, with insurance and loan sharks.
I read the end part there as Bender "with blackjack and hookers"
Do the rom hack right.
- Toll roads everywhere. Paid each time you enter.
- Pokemart is a monopoly and gouges you.
- Arceusism is the state religion and others are barely tolerated.
- Gyms are privatized and cost per attempt.
- Pokemon sweatshops.
- PC access is a freemiun model where you get the first 5 for free, but beyond that you have to pay for Pokestorage+ and pay monthly. Also pokes come out hating you so pretty sure they getting abused. And occasionally pokes get lost.
Wait That last one is just Pokemon home lmao
Make it so that you can appeal the results of battles
Dont forget its a defacto state religion not dejure ... just to make it more infurating
In fact where it is dejure religion, nobody actually follows it or believes it.
Some of your items no longer function as the company that makes them went out of business
Pokémon Sweatshops
I think that was literally a plot point in one of the earlier games or anime? That one will be easy to adapt, just make Team Rocket the heroes for being shrewd businesspeople and you the villain for daring to question the will of the free market.
And all the rocket goons are just police protecting the capitalists
Cost per attempt? Gyms require an annual membership fee, and good luck ever canceling
The fee is just to "challenge" the gym master for your badge. You still have to pay the subscription to even get into the door.
PokeRiot would totally turned into an all out civil war. I wonder if they have a signal jammer but for pokeball? 🤔
The guy that made Trailer Park Alien did a short about this. https://youtu.be/DJWooGhvSl8?si=U4mePYgRrJ7H_RVg

If it was in the US, it would quickly turn into palworld.
I haven't played Palworld but I'm told that you can capture people and force them to work for you. So technically the US is already ahead of this.
The only thing I know from palworld Is a screenshot of a bunch of pals sitting in front of a conveyer belt and another screenshot of a pal with a gun
But with guns!
Bitchin cool!
That is correct, you can capture mercenaries for combat, and townsfolk can be relocated to your base (although risky)
I think he meant pocket monsters with guns
