Why can’t every show just be a parade of 
with 
“nonpolitical” characteristics where not a single uncomfortable thought might reach the treat hogs’ unbothered heads?
They babble about 
but what they want is the cheap lazy noisy thought-terminating spectacles from Fahrenheit 451.
That’s partially what I have assumed.
Look at older Pixar, Bug’s Life and Wall-e have some pretty dire warnings to the dangers of capitalism. Pokémon is a franchise that’s grown so much Pikachu could give Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse a run for their money as the unofficial mascot of capitalism. Literally in the first game Giovanni is a warning about the dangers of corporate greed, and Lysandre is that same warning taken up to 11.
I can’t help but think that porky either let this slip by him, or uses some self-deprecation intelligently. Oh, what are people going to do to revolt against him? Advocate to give him back discrimination AND child labor?
