Watched a couple of episodes today and the first movie and starting wondering on this. I don't wanna include the manga because how deadly it looks and only played like blue and Y.
So the poke clinics are free and seem to act as maybe a shelter. Don't know on food because I guess some pokemon can make it thinking milktank or shuckle.
There are police that seem to do something. And of course team rocket means there is organized crime in that world.
I think there are mayors and money. No idea if any central government, maybe the elite four of each region but I've no idea.
Anyway thoughts and discussion please.
Hard to argue on the first point need time but for the second point agree. Jessie and Brock's backstory show little support growing up. With Team Rocket have their reasons for being in team rocket. Jessie being like her mom, James escaping his abusive home life, Meowth not knowing anything else. I really don't know about food though. Like they have a bunch of money for devices but none for food. Maybe it could be argued they blown their food budget or whatever food available is rationed. Thinking Cuba where food given on rations that last for so long. All this speculation though. Maybe the poke center has free food but with them being criminals they can't exactly access it but just speculation.
Yeah idk who their balloon and submarine guy is but he's making a killing
The bulbapedia has a whole section on their mechs.
No real explanation on how they got them at least none I could find.
