I may or may not write a more substantive post elaborating further on my point later (depending on if I can find the motivation), but I wanted to reply to this because this seems to not only be missing the point but also seems to indicate you're reading the exact opposite of what I said. I...

Again, this is alot of words for Xcano to basically show he's being a major bitch again...
Pokemon is a show for kids, Kids' Shows however do not need to only pander to just kids or not teach them anything...
I have seen shows in the 90's created for kids touch some real hard subjects: Drug Use, Death of Pets and Family Members, Mortality, Your Purpose in Life, Guns, Racism, Hatred and the overall limitations of Humanity among many other things and they don't ever give you straight answers, they just tell you like it is.
Hilariously Pokemon, both the game, manga and anime, actually tackle some real dark shit plenty of times despite being "for kids" in the same fashion The Lord of The Rings is literally for kids, fucking imagine that? The ironic part is that The Kids Next Door is literally a show that tackles just as many themes for kids that actually reach pretty damn hard to adults too(Especially if the creator was able to do the GKND storyline he desperately wants to do) but it doesn't count despite it being made for kids?
Seriously, I feel XCano's entire point isn't that Pokemon needs to be like Family Guy, Pokemon needs to be like grossout shows like Mr. Pickles or every other shitty, overplayed Western "Adult Comedy" for him to "take it seriously"
