All media critical of capitalism will eventually be subsumed by capitalism and sold back, capitalism's great power is to absorb critique of itself, etc etc
Look at older Pixar, Bug’s Life and Wall-e have some pretty dire warnings to the dangers of capitalism. Pokémon is a franchise that’s grown so much Pikachu could give Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse a run for their money as the unofficial mascot of capitalism. Literally in the first game Giovanni is a warning about the dangers of corporate greed, and Lysandre is that same warning taken up to 11.
I can’t help but think that porky either let this slip by him, or uses some self-deprecation intelligently. Oh, what are people going to do to revolt against him? Advocate to give him back discrimination AND child labor?
That’s partially what I have assumed.
