What We Think

Pokémon Yellow is about as non-woke as it gets: all about catching monsters, with no hint of modern ideological trends. Even the most sensitive critic would struggle to find ‘woke’ content here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Pokémon Yellow sticks to a very straightforward narrative with minimal emphasis on identity politics. The focus is on becoming a Pokémon Master, with characters and storylines centered around skill and adventure rather than ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game presents traditional values neutrally, with no attempt to subvert gender roles, undermine family, or disparage cultural or religious themes. Parents exist off-screen, but that’s more about adventure than ideology. Nothing here rings of revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Pokémon Yellow avoids political or ideological statements almost entirely. There’s very little dialogue outside of gameplay tips, and no discernible mockery or villainization of any worldview. It’s pure, escapist fun, period.
