Series creator Satoshi Taijri said in a Time Magazine interview that Pokemon is based on his childhood hobby of catching bugs in the rural outskirts of Tokyo in the 1960s. You arenвЂ™t seeing a world that was or is about to be shattered by a giant space meteor the Pokemon world is almost always at peace. Traveling the towns for the sake of collecting badges makes each town feel like a tourism destination rather than a checkpoint between action sequences.Д¬riminal organizations like Team Rocket give the game developers a mouthpiece that can wax philosophical about systemic problems with the world, without actually showing any of those problems. The lack of drama in Pokemon allows you to explore a relatively stable world in a state of equilibrium. This plot structure sits in stark contrast with typically melodramatic JRPG storylines. (Warning: This article features spoilers for every main-series Pokemon game.) The Pokemon franchise is famous for many things, but story isnвЂ™t one of them. Your character is almost never in danger, the world is almost never at the brink of collapse and most of the gameвЂ™s conflict takes the form of friendly sparring matches. Pokemon games offer straightforward narratives in a consistent structure: You are a boy or girl that hikes from town to town competing to win badges and you somehow always end up taking down a criminal organization.
