What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The core concept is “battling,” which involves fantasy violence. The approach is entirely metaphorical and framed as a sport. Pokémon “faint” when they lose all their health points; they never die or suffer lasting injury. The presentation is secular and strategic, akin to a guide on how to play chess or a sport. There is no moral ambiguity, as battling is the accepted, regulated way to interact in the Pokémon world.
