I feel like shutting down every nuclear power plant during the same week, and moving all uranium rods out of the region, would’ve had an effect on the electricity. Like the poke centers would start having to use fire Pokémon to replace keeping the lights on or something

[@halo129830]

Your right take a look at the perizian nuclear power plant in Ukraine they have it dormant now meaning the third largest active power plant in Europe is offline. To compensate gas and other forms of electricity have had to pick up the slack. So removing fuel rods and shutting down plants isn’t the simple solution.

[@non-existent_charlie]

Or electric types. Doing that would FUCK it up

[@shibainu2528]

There are 4 ways that I can think of. Wind, Water, Manual, and Electric type pokemon. Wind turbines or water wheels that use either natural sources or pokemon with corresponding abilities, or using a lightning rod of sorts to get electricity straight from your Pikachu. You can also use a manual version of a wind turbine for humans or strong Pokemon to use.

What we consider uninhabitable levels of radiation aren't really uninhabitable, you can technically live there without many negative side effects in the short term, but your life span will be shorter, and you will be at risk for a multitude of conditions due to radiation exposure. They are not safe long term, but people won't be dropping dead. They will just be dealing with more cancer, more malformed children, lower fertility.
