>free universal healthcare for all
>no elected officials

Is the World of Pokemon socialist?
>>
Probably but pokemon do most of the labor so...
>>
>>28148731
The Pokémon league are the officials. Does that make it despotism? Feudalism? King-of-the-hill? I'm not sure.
>>
>>28148731
It's clearly Anarchist.
>>
>>28148744
This, it's a Utopian anarchy.

Pokemon humans are fairly leveled headed with little to no negative emotion, so they can achieve a successful and prosperous state of anarchy.
>>
>>28148731
I always assumed that the Pokémon world has a full government, realistic crime, war and all that sort of thing, but we're seeing the world through the eyes of a child so we don't notice that sort of thing.

Unless you're playing a shitty fangame
>>
>>28148778
Even Gangs in the pokemon world aren't all that bad.

Team Rocket prefers not to kill for example, they Could have shot you dead easy in R/B/Y.

Humans in the Pokemon world are entirely different than real world humans behaviorally, they're far more selfless on average.

Yes, it sounds fucking amazing

>>28148731
What about all the capitalism in everything else?
>>
>>28148835
You can easily have a lot of socialised public services and a capitalist economy.
See: Almost all of Europe.
>>
>>28148874
No you can't. Look at Europe. All that socialism is killing it.

Socialism has been tried countless times and always inevitably fails.

Tell that to the NHS I'm currently on my way to work at. 68 years of world cladd healthcare at half the cost of the USA's :^)
>>
>>28148821
More likely that Pokemon are so fucking powerful that guns mean nothing and that without Pokemon you're pretty much subject to the whims of your aggressor.

So if someone knocks your mons out and isn't a nice guy, well, good luck.
>>
ironic since only a capitalist society would ever birth the franchise
>>
>>28148967
Which would explain why Oak et al are so concerned about you going out alone.
>>
>>28148967
It doesn't matter if you're a kid with pokemon.

10 dudes with guns aiming at you, you're dead.

They could have killed you at any time if they wanted.

Kill yourself, libercuckian.

Only theft going on here is with you and oxygen.
>>
>>28148986
It's rare that you're actually surrounded, though. Plus at the point of the game where there's that many you already have fully evolved mons, many of which already have bullshit attributed to them.
>>
>>28149009
TR has pokemon too.

They distract your pokemon with theirs and shoot you.

The end.

Pokemon Humans, even the bad ones are on average far better people than real world humans.
>>
>>28149018
I'm sure they'll have perfect aim while your Pokemon is spewing fire or whatever everywhere. Or maybe they don't do it because they'll get blitzed since Pokemon very obviously are quicker than humans.
>>
>>28148986
I'm pretty sure most psychic types and fast Pokemon would render normal guns useless. We're talking anime bullshit level of powers here man.
>>
>>28149036
There's no excuse for why TR didn't kill you in their hideout besides them being against killing whenever possible.
>>
>>28149044
Look at the anime, most Pokemon aren't that impressive.

I mean yeah, they have insane durability and powers.

But most don't have enough power to stop you from getting full of lead by 10 guys, even in a pack of 6.
>>
>>28149096
I don't think there has ever been anything to verify that or not. Also by that point you'd likely have Pokemon that aren't garbage if you even got that far into the base.
>>
>Socialism works in Europe guys!
>Not realizing its only possible right now because of the money that they get from the US
>Or that Greece is slowly bringing economic disaster to the rest of the EU by being a gigantic drain

You're not at Venezuela level yet, but its gonna happen eventually

I know the anime and games dont share canon, but there was an episode where they specifically talked about how Guns>Pokemon that arent specially trained to deal with them.

Why is there no military?
Why is there little to no law enforcement?
Why do they let criminals easily get away with shit like trying to recreate the universe or mass genocide?
Why do the bad guys just give up if you beat their Pokemon?
>>
>>28149525
There's been talk of wars - both ancient and recent. I could believe the protagonists simply never run into the military. Large organisations probably send the bulk of their forces to guard the perimeter or distract the forces - a lone, young trainer might be able to slip through.

There's plenty of law inforcement - both local Cops/Watchmen/whatever that trainer class is called - and the international police.

They don't. Cyrus got permanently trapped in another dimension, Lysandre probably died buried in rubble, and Charon, Ghetsis, the other Six Sages and Xerosic were all arrested. Giovanni went into hiding - likely to avoid the emerging fallout of him having a criminal empire. Admittedly, Archie and Maxie are exceptions.

A pokemon vs human fight is not likely to go well.
>>
>>28148731
My personal theory is that the Poke Marts sponsor the Pokemon Centers in order to attract costumers, which is why they have been merged since Gen 5.
They consequently jack up the prices of their items, so that the prize money for BECOMING CHAMPION only nets you enough to buy 10-13 Ultra Balls.
>>
>>28149119
>money from the US
>thinks the Greek situation isn't caused by neoliberalism gone mad

You're correct about the "refugees" but dunno how that's related to socialism, apart from everything wrong must always be because of big bad socialism.

Pisser.
>>
>>28149119
Don't you people who constantly regurgitate talking points from free market-friendly think tanks detect the irony of you constantly presenting the ideas of others as your own?
>>
>>28148731
I am 99% sure I have seen a mayor somewhere
>>
>>28148744
This is the only thing that makes sense, there's no hint of central government, there aren't even mayors for most towns.

If anything, it resembles anarcho-capitalism (if ancap could actually function). Buying and selling goods is commonplace and money is obviously important, which wouldn't happen in communist anarchism, yet there's no central regulation. There seem to be no political disputes in the modern pokemon world, the only problems are caused by criminal gangs, and even then they're only violent in terms of pokemon battles.

But that wouldn't explain the free pet healthcare. Maybe pokemon are so important to culture that the local communes or towns don't even think about it.

Greece.

As for pokemon I still think there was a war before gen 1. A good question the other day spurred me to think about this. "How do people get money in the pokemon world?" My original response was you beat up kids and take it from them. Then I thought it was probably more a wager, mostly because if you ever lose its oly half of your money. If you look around though people have jobs. Pokemart, center, gyms, Sliph co, and safari zone to name a few. Further generations have even more things that provide a capitalist view. I also don't think socialists subscribe to gambling in any form (which I miss from later generations). I also always assumed that the pokecenter was free because the professor paid for it. Kinda like one of those perks of working for him. Much like college, you have access to databases that are blindingly expensive but it's covered in tuition. The professor provides a healthcare account so you can do field work. There is also enough crime to warrant a police force, I don't recall seeing them after gen 1, so it cannot be a utopia.

It's mostly a white and Asian world with a lot of sane people, those would create an utopia as long as lesser races don't drag them down.
>>
>>28148731
Anarcho capitalism with laws.

No elected govt leaders but you have the law and the economy leaders. So close to judge dreedd with no dystopian themes.
