What are Pokemon?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Where do they come from, and why are they so powerful? In the season\u2019s first episode, we learn about Nidoking, a Pokemon that\u2019s so powerful it\u2019s able to open cracks in the ground\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p>When we meet the Nidoking, it\u2019s attacking a Mew, a Pokemon that\u2019s able to transform into any other Pokemon. How do they exist, and if they\u2019re able to evolve into more powerful Pokemon, does this mean that humans in the Pokeverse have the potential to evolve similarly?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Does_Ash_have_special_powers\"><\/span>2. Does Ash have special powers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the end of Episode 2, we learn that as Ash and Goh rode Lugia and were about to hit the water, Ash heard a voice.\u00a0Where did the voice come from? Is Ash able to hear Pokemon\u2019s innermost thoughts?\u00a0Frankly, Ash must have some special powers since he\u2019s been able to survive getting shocked by Pikachu so many times.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_are_the_official_qualifications_for_becoming_a_trainer\"><\/span>3. What are the official qualifications for becoming a trainer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the age of 10, children get to become trainers, people who catch, train, and enter Pokemon into battles. Throughout the season, we watch as Ash and Goh <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> to different regions of the Pokeverse and encounter and catch several different types of Pokemon.<\/p>\n<p>However, because they catch them as they encounter them, I wonder if there are qualifications for becoming a trainer, and rules for catching and owning Pokemon. In Episode 2, Professor Cerise tells the crowd at the grand opening of his research lab that a rare Pokemon will be hovering over Vermillion Port. The crowd rushes outside, and once Lugia shows up, it becomes a mad dash to see who can catch it as trainer after trainer unleashes attack after attack.<\/p>\n<p>It seems a bit troubling that just about anyone can become a trainer, and once they do, they seem to have their pick of the litter. Are their qualifications besides age that determine who can become a trainer, and what they\u2019re allowed to catch?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Do_you_still_have_to_go_to_school_if_you_become_a_trainer\"><\/span>4. Do you still have to go to school if you become a trainer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After Ash and Goh become trainers and research fellows for Professor Cerise, we never see them attend school. Instead, they spend their days traveling through various regions of the Pokeverse, tracking down and catching Pokemon. This begs the question, are children just allowed to opt-out of school, once they become trainers?<\/p>\n<p>If so, isn\u2019t that decision detrimental to their development? Not everyone becomes a Pokemon Trainer. There are still law enforcement officers and nurses, illustrators, and of course, teachers.<\/p>\n<p>While Chloe\u2019s mother tells her that she doesn\u2019t have to decide right away what she wants to be when she grows up, it would seem as though that\u2019s not the case. From the moment they turn 10, it seems to have already been determined, that Ash and Goh are going to become trainers.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how any parent would be comfortable with their child opting-out of school before hitting the age of 18. It\u2019d be a shame to determine your future at such a young age with absolutely no way to obtain a fallback plan.\u00a0For Ash and Goh\u2019s sake, I hope they\u2019re simply taking a research sabbatical.<\/p>\n<p>Are you new to <em>Pokemon<\/em>?
