Why do you think on the future of moral/ethics of pokemon? I wonder in Gen 6, they go with extreme human rights as in pokemon are a dangerous menace. Opposite of Team Plasma. BW addressed the former issue (although rather more simplistically and implied notion more people are morally better than one would think) Therefore, I always tried to distinguish games, manga, tv for they treat it differently. Interestingly in BW2, N hoped for a world with no pokeball I thought that was a bit fascinating

Y’know, I really don’t know.  It’s anyone’s guess where they’ll go with the next games.  (Incidentally, I think this question has been sitting in my ask box since *before* X and Y were announced).

What I always thought would be enormously fun is to have two or more criminal/enemy factions in the world, like Team Aqua and Team  Magma in Emerald, who have opposed views on the relationship between humans and Pokémon.  Black and White 2 (which I haven’t finished playing yet, so don’t quote me on anything) are doing something like that with Rood and his ex-Team Plasma faction, but the division between ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’ is still very clear there.  I thought it would be really interesting to have a group dedicated to shifting the balance between humans and Pokémon, like Team Plasma, in the same storyline with a group dedicated to maintaining and exploiting the current order, like Team Rocket – because a leader like N might be your enemy because of circumstance, but no one would hate a leader like Giovanni more than him… so you have a situation that’s like “who’s the bad guy now?  Why?”
