Pokemon War Theory...

I found this on a yahoo answers question and thought it was an interesting theory

You start the game with no father, and are the man of your household. Your rival has no parents at all. The only adult man in your village, the aging Professor Oak, trusts his most important research to you, a mere child. In fact, Kanto’s men are mostly children or the very old. The few men in their prime are tied up in Gyms or organized crime. Every town is equipped with a state-of-the-art medical center. A little weird, sure, but not that sinister until you meet Lt. Surge in Vermilion City and he lets slip a harmless little comment about the war. Wait. War?

Surge definitely went to war, but he’s no old soldier. He looks pretty young… about the age your character’s dad would have been. Could Kanto have just seen the end of a long, bloody war? Are you and your rival members of the first generation to live in peace?

I'm sure nintendo wasn't think about a hidden war at all while making pokemon but it sounds possible. What do you think?

sounds possible to me

definitely, every world has a history and to be honest we actually don't know much bout the history of pokemon. We do know there have been wars though, just look at the past mentioned in Lucario and the mystery of Mew
