I love Pokémon, it's my special interest, I've been playing since Gen 1 and have pretty extensive knowledge about the Pokémon world.
However since becoming a communist I've realized that a lot of things are missing from the world, including basic functions on how everything works. Just the presence of police implies there are laws that have to be enforced, which in turn implies people write those laws, etc. We know that there was an industrial revolution, which led to capitalism, being the economic system in all Pokémon regions, meaning all of the contradictions that come with it. There was a war that took place, as alluded to by Lt. Surge, who might actually be from Unova.
In the manga there's the Pokémon Association (PA), a legislative body that determines the laws involving Pokémon, similar to Congress here in the U.S., with each region apparently having its own PA.
In the anime they have the Pokémon Inspection Agency (PIA) that inspects Gyms to see if they're up to par.
They don't explicitly talk about politics and political views (obviously because the series is marketed to kids) but I think exploring these mechanisms could be really interesting, if not for the fact that Pokémon adds another layer to politics because they're creatures with a material effect on the world.
Some people might be more left leaning when it comes to economics and social issues, but might be more right leaning when it comes to trainer regulations.
I'm curious to know what other people think, I'm actually writing a story that explores some of these themes so I'd love to get some ideas!
Basically title. I've found it's a very useful tool that is only as good as how you use it. Of course I've run into some issues with it trying to impose certain ideals on my stories (like claiming there are "core values and themes" in the Pokémon world when in reality it's no different than our world), but aside from these little hiccups I've been in the process of building new stories from already existing universes (i.e. Naruto, Pokémon, Persona).
I'd like to hear if anyone else has been doing the same, or if they have any tips for using ChatGPT as well.
I'm an artist/music producer and I'm wary of the whole security state so I have a hard time reconciling the contradiction of needing to make money under capitalism and also my political views, cause making money doing what I'm doing requires some degree of visibility. Are there any extra steps I should take to ensure that I'm not "too visible" so to speak? I don't think it's avoidable at all and the solution is probably to somewhat hide my power level.
It's a liberal cesspool full of people who refuse to listen when you speak. I explained how the SMO in Russia was justified going all the way back to fucking WWII and Stepan Bandera to Russia not wanting Ukraine in NATO and some dickhead told me to "tOuCH gRaSS". Didn't even address any of my points, just that "dEnAziFIcaTioN iSnT a gOoD rEasOn, iT's aS bAd aS wMDs".
Fucking moron. I hate that fucking place so fucking much.
