The Pokémon series features countless creatures with cute exteriors and deeply disturbing backstories. On its surface, the Pokémon franchise is about joyous exploration and competition with semi-sentient animal-esque creatures with supernatural powers. However, the reality is that the Pokémon universe is absolutely terrifying when examined at a closer level. Not only is it a world where animal fighting is the pre-eminent sport, but it’s also a land where children are encouraged to go on cross-country trips by themselves while putting themselves in constant danger.
