God damn pokemon

Ok, i know I am not here for this reason, but i felt that i needed to rant about this, I have been there from the beginning, and have seen the progression of this for some reason adored children's show, and it simply gets more mind boogling. The name is now Pokemon galactic battles. There alone I have a problem, because nothing about the show is galactic at all, there is no involvement with anything huge or pertaining to our milky way. It seems they chose the show's name simply for the fact that it sounds cool, that's about all I can assert from it.

There is Ash, the main character, whose entire goal in life is to train animals to fight. It may seem like a mild oversimplification, but honestly that is what this show is about. Then there is Brock, his eyes are never open and he is always harassing women, all he does is oggle and explicity address the women of the world of pokemon, and the fact that he falls in love with every woman that he meets that is around his age speaks numbers about his psychological standing, and that if it remains unchecked he may end up resorting to rape, due to the lack of women paying him attention, and he might start taking it by force. The only redemption of his character is a blue half frog looking thing that punches him in the balls might I add every time he starts to sexually harass someone. Then there is a girl named Dawn that has an annoying bird that just like almost every other animal in their world, it says its name in a really annoying way over and over. Very few of the animals seem to mind being slaves that are forced over and over to battle with other pokemon. But what i find the cruelest irony of it all is that there is apparently a God pokemon that created man in their dimension, and other dimensions as well. So this God allows his pokemon, which were created first in his image to be enslaved by mankind. But again they dont seem to mind being taken from their homes and fighting for some guy, just because he said so.

I wonder how many people were killed by their pokemon rebelling, shit, i wonder what would happen if all of the pokemon just got pissed and turned? What if there were zombie pokemon? So because people can communicate with their pokemon, the pokemon may be able to speak literally back, as in the case of meowth, so in turn eventually all of the pokemon could learn to speak as people, and that is a scary thought. All of these scenarios arise when considering this in real world standards. Ash was a mere 12 or 13 years old when he left home to roam the world searching for pokemon. There are no shootings, no murders apparently, and why, because all disputes are settled with fighting their pokemon. But what if you were to stab someone and they didnt have any pokemon out or didnt get a chance, could you steal their pokemon and sell them on the black market? Is there a whole pokeball id number system? There are a lot of political standpoints here, is it ok to start a pokemon battle with a child? Is that a crime like assault?

I know this question is going to arise, but I will answer it before you can ask it, I was watching pokemon because my room mate is a fan of the show and I simply wanted to question this cartoon, and that's about it.
