Why are pokemon centers free? It makes no sense from a writing perspective.You're telling me that all of the Nurse Joys have to take care of pokemon and their retarded trainers and work for free 24/7?
>>59366885>It makes no sense from a writing perspective.It does if you have the littlest amount of imagination.
>>59366885you an Amerifat?It's called Universal Health Care
Just because it’s free doesn’t mean nurses aren’t compensated. How are they compensated? They don’t say, but it’s really not hard to imagine in a fictional world where almost nobody is worried about money that one could have any job they want and still expect to eat and sleep in shelter.
>>59366885There’s likely a professional trainer infrastructure, where the revenues from professional battles pay for these services. These services are likely only available for free to certain credentialed trainers.
>>59366892They are compensated with my sperm
>>59366900>just use your imagination>thinks about commieskek what a faggot
>>59366894This is how I imagine how it works.
>>59366900>le universal healthcare is communism>despite it existing even in nations that are right wing as wellread the room magatard
>>59366885>no sense from a writing perspective.Several Pokémon are gods or have powers beyond science. I can accept free Pokémon care.
>>59366900>amerishart wants to go into medical debt to heal his pokemon so it can be realistic to himLol
>>59366885They get payed from your taxes.
>>59366885Chansey egg sales.
>>59366885Pokémon takes place in a utopia where people's taxes are used for maintain said utopia via things that help the people like healthcare, instead of nonsense like subsidies for with South African nazis, yachts to pedophiles, or israel.
>>59367088Why does Unova have it then if it's America
This is how you know you've grown out of Pokemon.
>>59366890America has that actually. It’s a common misconception mostly from Euros that we don’t have a welfare system, despite ours actually being much larger than any single European country.
>>59366885People would keep having casual battles if they had to pay for the pokemon center, they already have to pay Money for the winning trainer, if they also had to pay money to heal their own pokemon then it would just be a rich people-only hobby.
>>59367128*wouldn't
>>59366932A amerifat literally made a romhack where the Pokémon centres cost money, they are the most insular mongrels on the planet.>>59367118>We have welfare, and it's bigger, tooTypical burger faggotry, your welfare system actively kills more people by design than it helps, because your child raping overlords both want everyone but them to be poor and want to kill all the poor people. Enjoy your hellscape, or just kill yourself with a Walmart gun, wouldn't mean a thing to anyone here or in your "country".
>>59367137Cope.
>>59367118amerisis, he said universal healthcare, not generic 'welfare'. you guys don't have universal healthcare by any stretch of the imagination
>>59367141Unova has the best medical system. Even Canadians and Kalos people go to Unova for important operations or medical work
>>59366885I always had the idea that only certified trainers can use their service for free but already paid by subsidies.Regular citizens pay but at reduced cost.
>>59366885It's a post scarcity society, like Star Trek.
>>59367137didnt one of your Britianstan Princes get taken for touching children ya faggot? also i think Britianstan has far more pressing issues lmao.
>>59367141America's healthcare is universal, as in, everyone has access to healthcare. Those without money get it free. Those with money are expected to pay a reasonable, but small amount for it. What America doesn't have is universal single payer healthcare. America's single payer healthcare is reserved for the poor and elderly. Why should young, rich people be given a handout from the government when they can pay for something themselves?
They're compensated by the regional Pokemon League. Fuck you guys are retarded.
>>59367098Because it's a utopian, Idealised version of Americas. Extremely hard to comprehend, but I thought it was blatantly obvious with the disparity between the autocratic spastic's supporters and the normal humans of the region they presented.
>>59367290> Those with money are expected to pay a reasonableIf it were so reasonable and “small”, health insurance wouldn’t be necessary> Why should young, rich people be given a handout from the government when they can pay for something themselves?Why should people who work be punished and have to pay to exist when they already give the government a third of everything they earn.
>>59367290that’s not what universal healthcare means
Pokemon?
>>59367118>an entire continent has a larger welfare system than any one countryYeah, duh. But totting up all of the EU or even Europe's welfare systems into one pile and figuring out how many people across the region are helped by that absolutely outnumbers the burgerstan system.When you got European countries giving expectant mothers baby boxes, including EVERY single item a mother should have for their child in order to take care of them properly (and one for EVERY baby, not one for every birthing mother. So a mother of twins gets two, then another one if she decides to have another baby and so on), you find the EU systems generally work out better for the people on welfare than the people operating the system like in burgerstan.
>>59367147Yis wont own cuba for a long lock of years, stop LARPing.
>>59367307Because that's how all human society works and has worked for 200k years. Those who can work are expected to take care of those that don't. It can feel like a bad rap when you're the one working, but some day you'll be elderly and unable to take care of yourself and you'll be happy young people are taking care of you.
Because they use a Pokemon that apparently lays a bajillion healing eggs a day, they can afford making it free.
>>59367311That is exactly what universal healthcare means. People conflate universal single payer healthcare (US's Medicare, UK's NHS, etc.) with universal healthcare. In order for a healthcare system to be universal it just needs to cover everyone, which the US system does through a combination of private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and the fact that hospitals cannot legally turn away anyone in need. Single payer systems are when all payments for healthcare are run through one payer, the government, and being the only payer, it can use its monopoly to push for lower costs by strongarming docters because they have no choice but to accept some payments over nothing at all.
>>59366885It's a post-scarcity utopia. They have magical creatures who can conjure water, plants, electricity etc out of nowhere and love helping humans. They don't need money>>59367118>NOOOO ours is BIGGER and BETTERER!Retarded Amerifat. You have no universal healthcare. It's a fucking dogshit system that indebts and kills people on purpose.
>>59366885>Ameritard can accept Pokemon having godlike powers over matter, space and time>But cannot accept free healthcare
>>59367137>because your child raping overlords both want everyone but them to be poor and want to kill all the poor people.do you think europeans aren't also like this? Merkel? Putin? Zhelensky? Macron? Come on man
>>59367341Or the governor could use the handouts me and other workers already give them and use it to help everyone, instead of frittering it away on corporate subsidies and Israel >but some day you'll be elderlyNot if I die from overwork before than ,> and unable to take care of yourself and you'll be happy young people are taking care of youNo. There won’t be any young people to care of the old. Workers are being squeezed too much to have children. And I’d be much happier if the young people could afford to actually enjoy life then spend every cent taking care of me because the government is too lazy to do so despite me already paying the government
>>59366885In the pokemon manga, it's explained with the Pokemon centers being run by the Pokemon League.And, the Pokemon League is analogous to a major sports league combined with a super hero team. The sports aspect makes money with ticket and merchandise sales to the most popular sport in the world, while the elite four and some gym leaders go around saving the world from the near-endless crisis that wild rampaging deities represent, while also doing odd jobs that require powerful pokemon trainers. Considering that most Gym Leaders have second jobs (and even one has two jobs as a gym leader and as an elite four member), it's probably fair to say that they're not being paid like professional athletes, despite doing far more while also being part of a sport more popular than every sports league combined.The Pokemon League makes so much money that it doesn't just run free Pokemon Centers that are free clinics/hostels, they also provide trainers with living expenses via an allowance system. Ash literally eats because the Pokemon League feeds him.
>>59366900Pokemon is a communist universe.
They are funded by the cities to provide traffic
>>59366885pokémon is by all appearances a post-scarcity classless socialist utopia where everyone's needs are met and you can basically do whatever you want for a living if you want to work at all. the healing services and the nurse joys are probably paid by whatever kind of government pokémon society has in place. also maybe they're just nurses cuz they like being nurses.
>>59367423>pokémon is by all appearances a post-scarcity classless socialist utopia where everyone's needs are met and you can basically do whatever you want for a living if you want to work at alExplain Larry.
>>59367425what are you talking about larry loves his job
>>59367446what the fuck is that monster
>>59366885>That x-ray
>>59366885It would make perfect sense in a world without a central banking cartel, jewish casinos and mass inflation
>>59367450A jeet
>>59367395Not really.
>>59367423>post-scarcityI dunno. A core game's villain striving to slash the world's population because humans were fighting over limited resources pretty firmly disproves your fannon.
>>59367571>fannon
>>59366885The society in Pokemon simply benefits from being able to easily heal Pokemon free of charge. It's also worth noting that while Pokemon healing and PC usage is free. The Pokemon Center's probably make money off of other goods and services like Trainers staying the night there. (This is seen in the anime.)Plus given the fact that later games merged the Center and Store it's probably all the same organization. Money made in the store funds the free center.
>>59366885The Pokemon League subsidizes it to perpetuate the status quo and empower more Pokemon trainers.Speaking of does anyone know if Silph Co was the original modern pokeball inventor or pokeball lore. Is it monopolized?
>>59367423>whatever kind of government pokémon society has in place.Honestly there is no government, with the exception of the local level (Cities/Towns) it's an anarchy. All the regions are divided by cultural boundaries. The most powerful people we've seen in Pokemon are the Presidents of corporations or organizations (Team Rocket, Aether Foundation, Dev Corp, Silph Co.) These corporations are the diving force behind technology in the Pokemon World and they're able to get away with various nefarious schemes because there's no law enforcement beyond local police.
>>59367624The anime is not canon but board is certainly in my head canon
>>59367643There's an international police, so I think some sort of United nations type thing would make sense. There's unity Tower too.
>>59367643There used to be royalty ruling Galar and now they're governed by uh...
>>59367705*Whispers* black people...
>>59367734He's just a random ceo of an energy company

>>59367750Okay Oleana
>>59366885>americuck doesn't understand health carefucking kek
>>59367571>striving to slash the world's population because humans were fighting over limited resources pretty firmlyHe was right btw
>>59366885its a game settingkids need to heal their pokemonpokemon centre does thatits free so even if kid has zero money, they can heal and enjoy game
>>59367290>have 30k life savings>get hurt>life savings gonebut he could technically pay for it so its actually fine
>>59367098Same reason Unova is in good terms with Paldea there. It's a fantasy where burgerland is made up of sensible, good hearted people and not fentanyl addicted child rapists.Except for Ghetsis I'm sure he still fits the bill
>>59366885realistically how many pokeballs could a human fit in their ass? it's gotta be more than 2 but probably less than 10
>>59366885Money is almost never an issue in the games
IT'S A FANTASY WORLD WHO GIVES A SHIT?
>"Kids understand that real crabs don't sing like the ones in The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really fing dumb questions like ‘How does Superman fly? How do those eyebeams work? Who pumps the Batmobile's tires?’ It's a fing made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!"
>>59369103what the fuck made you ask that?
>>59369842>Who pumps the Batmobile's tires?’ It's a fing made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!"OR/ Bruce Wayne's batcave is so far technologically advanced, all such mechanical tasks of need are logged by the system and Alfred ensures they're taken care of. Can give some adults the same IP and they'll use the rules of the universe to explain the unexplained.
>>59370034the op image...?
>>59366885My dude, very little about the pokemon world makes sense if you think about it. It doesn't have to and was never thought out that deeply because it's not that important.
>>59366885Those aren't Poke Balls, they're baby Voltorbs.
>>59366885heh heh
I'ma eat her taco.
>>59369817Its not fantasy. Pokemon is modern af
>>59368969He always was.
As an Amerifat it disturbs me that some of my fellow countrymen itt have been so indoctrinated by our ass-backwards healthcare system that they can't even imagine it could be better, or sour-grapes themselves into thinking our system isn't the most retarded of the industrialized nations. Even a thousand Luigis won't save us from our own stupidity.
