Really? What if Pokemon literally changed somebody’s life? What if 15 years before they applied to become a professor they have a possession charge and the game is what inspired them to change? Can people really not earn a clean slate?
To be clear, I don’t feel this way, but there’s gotta be somebody that does.
I know someone who fits that description, but when he applied, the Pokémon Company dug up his past and denied his application. His wife was approved though, so he’s fine with it.
But the Pokémon Company has no way to differentiate between a genuinely changed person and someone who has a seedy past and is still seedy. So they err on the safe side. At the location I run events at, some casual events are between 50-80% children so I understand why.

How do you expect a company to properly identify a person whose “life literally changed”. It’s their ass on the line of something goes wrong.
