Also, the whole "kids are the ones that have to save the world because all the adults are either massively incompetent, completely oblivious to the situation, or conveniently out of commission for some reason (usually straight-up death)" trope is extremely prevalent in general entertainment media, not just in Pokemon. Heck, in anime especially it's so much of an epidemic that I'm sure it's just about the only thing that has orphaned more protagonists than Disney.
