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.
