You know, Pokemon in general:
- you make semi-sentient animal fight each other till one (to six) is knocked out
- to catch one, you first have it beat up and paralyzed, maybe poisoned or burned
- you're gambling money in these animal fights, often between adults and children
- some of the pokemon you even throw rocks at
- then you have the HM slaves that you only drag along when necessary and use as cannon fodder and then abandon permanently on PC once you can catch a bigger better one for that purpose

Yeah a lot of Nintendo stuff is hilariously dark when you stop and think about it too much.

Like Pikmin is about a guy who lands on an alien planet, enslaves the locals, and uses them as cannon fodder in slaughtering the rest of the native wildlife.
