I am curiously watching as a casual Pokemon fan. Maybe we should keep a counter for "good/interesting idea with bad execution" in this.

Put it like this. Uranium opens up with its dumb Nuclear meltdown.

Reborn opens up with you narrowly surviving a terrorist attack on the train you're riding.

Maybe I'm not a literary expert, but I don't understand why tragic backstories and action-based openings are a bad thing.

Reborn's opening isn't in medias res, is it?

Because it's pokemon. You want to invent a world that does these things and has you start upon your journey in your own franchise? Fine. You'll be judged by your awful gameplay still, but at least the story wont be completely tone appropriate.

Imagine if you booted up Sun and Moon and got "We're moving to Alola because your father was molesting you."

POKEMON!

I see your point. Just the musings of a casual Pokemon fan/wanna-be writer.
