    Someone should make a ROM hack where Pokémon centres charge a game-world fee equivalent to what a person would pay for healthcare for serious injuries in the US, with insurance and loan sharks.

      Do the rom hack right.

      • Toll roads everywhere. Paid each time you enter.
      • Pokemart is a monopoly and gouges you.
      • Arceusism is the state religion and others are barely tolerated.
      • Gyms are privatized and cost per attempt.
      • Pokemon sweatshops.
      • PC access is a freemiun model where you get the first 5 for free, but beyond that you have to pay for Pokestorage+ and pay monthly. Also pokes come out hating you so pretty sure they getting abused. And occasionally pokes get lost.
