As in, that there was a big war before the first game takes place and that's why there's so few adult men around, and so many ghost pokemon?

Yea, Lt. Surge basically cemented that for me. Hes a military person, and why would the pokemon world need a military if not because of wars.

I think the creators of pokemon took a lot of inspiration from post Ww2 Japan.

What I mean is, there's a lot of graves/shrines to the dead that are full of mourners and ghost pokemon, and a lot of the mourners don't look that old.

Yeah the Big Sad is a major driving point in Gen 6's story.

Oh good, was afraid this was that tired old "lolol, Ash is in a coma" theory that's been done to death ages ago.

But no, I don't personally believe in that one.

I dunno, there's a lot of influence from post war Japan I feel.

There was definitely a war. Actually, we know of multiple Pokemon wars. But I don't think that's why there arent many adult men, specifically fathers, present.

The absent father thing is just part of Japanese culture; many fathers often are absent, spending the majority of time at work and away from home. That is the reason for the trope of absent fathers in Japanese media.

I always thought it was really weird that Lt. Surge mentioned a war

and then the war is never brought up ever again

I'd play a ww2 shooter where you gun down armies of men and pokemon

Imagine how fast those Pokes evolve after mowing down fiddy men

This. Lt. Surge goes out of his way to talk about how his Raichu zapped his adversaries in the war.

Plus, some gym leaders even have ties to rocket.

Besides the obvious one, which ones have ties to them?

Please remember that the Manga is not canon to the games.

The manga continuity and games do not line up.

Every time I fight him I paraphrase The Simpsons.

"Lieutenant Surge... Lieutenant L. T. Surge."

>so many ghost pokemon

yeah, all three of them, located entirely within on building, fufufufufu

There's tons of adult men in the franchise. The only thing we know for sure is that there was a war of some sort, and America was in it.
