#meoth included

In this project writing session, I have further developed my ideas and have an idea of how I want to present them.

The first topic, one that I talked about in my last project post, is the logistics of eating pokemon. I can introduce this topic by showing a clip of episode 17, Island of the giant Pokemon where the main character fantasize about eating magicarp due to their hunger.  Pokemon are known to be sentient. Their are multiple evidence of this including the same epsiode. In this episode, Ash, a main character, loses some of his pokemon. Those lost pokemon have to work together to find their way back to Ash and we can see them talking to one another trying to solve that particular issue. I can then show a clip of this episode where those pokemon are together talking by a fire pit in the night. Another example that is prevalent throughout the entire series, is how Meoth, Team Rocket’s partner/pokemon, talks to other pokemon. To my knowledge there does not appear to be a pokemon that does not have coherent thoughts, implying that all pokemon are sentient. 

The next topic I want to go in-depth on is the relationship between pokemon and humans. Pokemon are most commonly caught from the wild and used for battle in this world. Are pokemon okay with battling? I think that their may be a correlation in this world that shows they are not. In pokemon, if a trainer’s “level” isn’t high enough, a pokemon may not do what they say in battle. A good example of this is when Ash’s Charizard won’t listen to him. I think that the portrayed dynamic of friendship between people and pokemon is a farce and that pokemon only do what their trainer says if they are seen as a dominant force above them. This is ethically flawed, using power over someone/thing to bend them to your will. Whether it be battling or really anything. This topic is still in the works but I have a backup if my research does not lend itself to this idea’s creditability.

Lastly, the topic of letting a child roam free at the age of only 10 to go on a journey. Hear I can show a clip of the opening scenes of the first episode of Pokemon to introduce this topic. I think that it is not ethical to let a child make life altering decisions for themselves. There are laws in place in our world that help prevent that. In Pokemon, a child can leave at 10 with just the things on their back and their pokemon. No schooling, no parental guidance, this is not something that should be okay. It is a parent’s responsibility to guide their children and protect them.
