Actually, Pokémon is about cock fighting. The original sprites even had whips. The problem is, it became so popular that they started writing actual storylines, so they had to come up with bullshit to cover for this completely unserious world they've built.

The origins of the concept of Pokemon is bug collecting actually.

Pokémon is about cockfighting, animal abuse, loving your pets, and bug catching. We are all correct.

source for this? as far as I can tell, they changed it in Beta so that it was more of a pet and pet owner dynamic, but this was before anything was actually released and the only sprites left with whips were a handful of NPC trainers, who also got phased out eventually

I meant the beta sprites.
