X. Opportunities
Every child can receive a starter Pokémon, that's what we've been told. Right?
Well, of course, that is true. Everyone can. But…
You must wait until you are ten.
You have to live in the right town.
If you aren't one of the first three at the lab, then sorry, we can't help you.
You must be able to care of yourself.
No disabilities whatsoever; there are specially trained, safe Pokémon for that, honey.
If you come from a poor household, then you certainly cannot care for a young Pokémon.
It is essential you have enough money to support yourself.
If you look like a heathen, you must act like one, and giving a starter to someone like that would be unsanitary and unsafe for it.

But other than those few pesky details, everyone may receive a starter Pokémon. After all, everyone has an equal opportunity.
