Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict involves protecting a unique ecosystem and its inhabitants from a power-hungry individual. While themes of environmentalism and ethical treatment of living beings are present, they are framed as universal moral goods within an apolitical good-versus-evil narrative, rather than promoting specific progressive ideologies.

The movie features a diverse cast of characters consistent with its anime origins, without explicit race or gender swaps of roles that would be considered traditionally white. Its narrative focuses on adventure and friendship, portraying characters based on their individual actions rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.

Secondary

This Pokémon film does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicit themes. Its narrative focuses on adventure, friendship, and the bond between trainers and Pokémon, without addressing queer identities or experiences.

This film does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story focuses on Pokémon, human characters, and their adventures without exploring gender identity beyond conventional depictions.

The film's conflicts are resolved through Pokémon battles, not direct physical combat between human characters. Female characters like Serena, Bonnie, and Eliza do not engage in hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights against male opponents.

The film features established Pokémon characters whose genders remain consistent with their prior appearances in the anime and games. No characters with previously defined genders are portrayed as a different gender in this installment.

This animated film features established Pokémon characters who maintain their original visual depictions. New characters introduced in the movie do not have a prior canonical race to be swapped from, aligning with the exclusion criteria.
