As far as themes go, that's not so bad! I mean, imagine if the theme were "no, no, you're really quite dead"? Though being dead never really stopped anyone from participating in the game. At least, not really.

[ Because logic was not a thing of their world, apparently. ]

Well...it's about the pokemon going to help the humans, after deciding to do so, when called. I suppose if there's any hint, it would be the addition here: "what have you done for them?"
