    Hey guys :P Well, I was just watching Pokemon...when a thought came to me. How is everything run in the Pokemon World? Like, how is everything funded and run. Like...is it just a united government or something?
     
    Its probably run the same as this world.

    It just has pokemon in it.

    :P
     
    Hm, well... it seems a lot FRIENDLIER than our world. Theyhave some executives, but no Kings nor Precidents. I think the basic economy in the Pokémon world runs through the funders. People chippin' in to help Pokemon... because everyone seems to LOVE Polémon, regardless

    At some point, though, I hope we see the "Earth" of the Pokémon world, and perhaps its leaders
     
    I'm not sure it has a government. :o

    I don't think that was likely to be something which was really thought about, being a kid's show and all. I guess the only people of any authority that I can think of would be the Jenny clones or the elite 4. Really, the elite 4 sounds like our best bet.
     
    I really do not think the world of pokemon has a government, I think they basically have a leader of each town or city, such as a gym leader, elite member, or an elderly...that's what I always thought anyway...
     
    I think that there's someone hiding away making sure everything is going as they want it to be...
     
    Mirage Kingdom

    Well, we know they got monarchs. How common they are...well, does it really matter? Think about it this way: what's our vantage point? Compare Ash and pkmn trainers in general to athletes. If you followed Chris Cooley around all day, you're not at all likely to end up talking to one of the Senators from Wyoming. What'll he be doing? Going to training camp...pkmn trainers must surely live in their own sphere of the world a bit isolated from everyone else. When was the last time we saw a human doctor? Season one? Yeah, all we see are pkmn doctors because that's all that matters...the mayor or king or whomever has no business with someone who should be raising their Cacnea to be the next superstar.
     
    I think it is just a free world for pokemon and pokemon lovers...u know what I mean?
     
    Dang...

    I made a thread like this waaayyy back in August but no one replied. D= Oh well here's what I put. ^_^

    -----------------------

    Has anybody looked into the form of government the Pokemon World contains?

    I've noticed these:

    Anime: The Pokemon League at the top of the hierarchy with the Juunsa' (Pokemon Officers/ Officer Jenny) and the Pokemon Center for health-care. Various monarchies...but pretty vague on others

    Manga (Pokemon Special): Now this rendition contains the most coherent form of government for Pokemon. The Pokemon Association (Council) wields most of the authority in this rendition (All three branches of Government essentially) with a separate one for each reagion. With the Gym Leaders acting as proxy/guards (Ambassadors and Protectors of the various cities). With education under the Pokemon University in Celadon City. And WHAT??? They have Universal Health-care under the Pokemon Centers (Talk about socialized medicine LOL >_<)

    Wow even though it's subtle the Pokemon World is a lot more progressive compared to ours. There form of religion is "Harmony with Nature" (Hearthrome City's "Communal Center?")

    Oh well add you're thoughts on the PokeGovernment no matter how subtle.
    Also if you see other governmental agencies please add.

    As a few other people have said, I think it is run the same way ours is, just that it has Pokemon in it.
    There are criminals, peace makers, nurses, police officers, people of power and ordinary citizens. This is the same in both our world and the Pokemon's.
     
    Well there are the basic laws like Crime = Bad.
    I think the only laws that exist are the ones that are assumed do exist without having to reinforce them by stating them or adding them to the show.
     
    The Government?

    Jennies and Joys are Conquistadores of all the Pokemon world, dictating from Mars.

    The president has no power

    Evil teams descend from Monarchs

    And Democracy is from the Pokemon.

    As you can see, the government is as corrupt as 4Kids was.

    Click to expand...

    Actually, I fergot to mention that Anarchies do, in fact, have 'rules'; they are oppressed versions of laws.
    I know this beacuse I had to do a report/project on it once...

    Oh, so in technical terms, the Pokemon Government is that similar to an Anarchie...
    Well there you go.
     
    Lol happy because there is no Government, or because there is no Government they are happy? :P
    Oh well, I think there must be one or everything would fall apart, but being a kids tv show, why put any note of it in?
     
    there's probably not a government but there is the police (like officer jenny)

    but what I think is that the pokemon world is a free world
     
    A world without a Government is not necessarily free, it maybe free of crime or free of serious issues, but not free.
    There is no sure fire way of knowing whether there is or is not a Government in the Pokemon world, all we can do is speculate.
