I really just want to see Pokemon answer and explore the philosophical questions present in the series

Don't think gamefreak is capable of that tbh. The last time they attempted to do that was gen 5, and unlike most pokemon fans I think its writing was really bad. They shove team plasma being cartoonishly/one-sidedly/comically eviilllllllll into your face after they're barely introduced, N just comes across as incompetent and ignorant in light of team plasma's incredibly obvious/open eviiiiilllll and hypocrisy, and IMO none of the issues raised were actually addressed by the end of the unova games (nothing genuinely changes and basically everything returns to the status quo at the end of it all)

I agree on all points and that just makes me all the more passionate about getting rid of IP laws and letting an ambitious fan write the Pokemon game we deserve. Liberate all Pokemon!

I haven't seen the anime but IIRC the original head writer wanted it to end with pokemon realizing they were exploited and rising up against humans, but the higher ups didn't allow him to do so

Hopefully with Mewtwo leading the charge.

I was really hoping to find a mod that recognized that N/plasma were completely right and that you as the player should join them. alas, no such mod exists.
