I have not seen any kids expressing interest in the tight relationships formed, they all Focus only on their strength and ability to survive and kill.Most Pokémon games released in Japan are translated into English for the United States, although there are exceptions, such as the WiiWare Mystery Dungeon games. The sole purpose of each Pokemon is to battle.
They might not yet be ready to make the distinction that all these characters are imaginary and that we do not fight evil with death and destruction all the time.
Being a dad I'm not that much in favor of this point of view being taught to kids were three or 4 years old.

This is good in teaching kids how to recognize the good and bad people in the world, and then fight with tooth and Claw until the bad people die. The idea of a show is aimed at teaching kids that bad guys have to be destroyed but being demolished or exploded or electrocuted or some other way killed because they are on another side. The point of their life is to be owned, and do battle. It is hard to tell which creatures are good and which are bad, they just are always battling. The main premise is an arena where creatures fight each other. The Romans gathered strong men and had them fight each other in an arena. In some Indigo League episodes, the main characters eat like a Munchlax. Starting Generation II, Jynx was recolored to avoid references to Blackface. In the Japanese version of IL014, Gym Leader Lt. One example of language in the dub, in IL004, Ash says “Take back that novice crap!”. There are some inappropriate scenes, such as James crossdressing and Brock punching Misty in the head. Its Trainer should be arrested for intentionally neglecting his Pokémon. In IL011, a reckless Trainer had left his Charmander to die in the rain, but luckily Ash and friends had rescued it. Some scenes in the anime may be too frightening for young children, such as Ash and Pikachu almost getting killed in the Pokémon Tower, or when Ash becomes possessed in a Battle Frontier. There are some banned episodes of the series, such as the infamous Electric Soldier Porygon. Although Ash had never won an official Pokémon League Tournament (aside from the Orange League) he will never give up on his dream to become a Pokémon Master. Aside from Pikachu, of course, some Ash's most memorable Pokémon are Charizard, Heracross, Sceptile, Infernape, Krookodile and Greninja.
Most of Ash's Pokémon are either released or sent to Professor Oak at the end of each season.

In almost every episode, starting IL002, Jessie, James and Meowth (and Wobbuffet from Johto series - Diamond Pearl, XY onwards) intrude to try (and fail) to steal Ash's Pikachu. The two had travelled with Misty (Original Series, Sun and Moon) and Brock (Indigo League, Johto series - Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon), Todd (Original series for 3 episodes, Johto series in at least 1 episode), Tracey (Orange Islands as Brock's temporary replacement), May and Max (Advanced series), Dawn (Diamond and Pearl, Best Wishes, before Team Plasma), Barry (Diamond and Pearl, sometimes), Lyra (Diamond and Pearl, for a few episodes), Cynthia (Diamond and Pearl, sometimes, Best Wishes, before Team Plasma), Looker (occasionally), Iris and Cilan (Best Wishes), Bianca and Stephen (Best Wishes, sometimes), Cameron (Best Wishes, until the Unova League), Serena, Clemont and Bonnie/Eureka (XY series) and Shauna, Trevor and Tierno (XY series, occasionly). They had accomplished quite a lot in the last 22 seasons, such as defeating Pikachu's Thunder Stone evolution, Raichu, and managing to inflict damage on Onix despite the type disadvantage. In the Indigo League, ten-year-old Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in Japan) and his famous Pikachu had set off on their Pokémon journey (and met a Legendary from Generation II). Of course, the show is still going onwards to Generation VIII. Finally, the anime had premiered in 1997-1998. My 5th Grade teacher had collected Pokémon cards when she was a kid. Back when I was in the 5th Grade (2010-2011) our whole school were showing off and exchanging our Pokémon cards during recess. That following year, trading cards were born. Parents need to know that way back in 1996, Pokémon, short for Pocket Monsters, started as a video game series with Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green (Japan only) and Pokémon Blue on the Game Boy.
