Are there any shows you didn't allow your child to watch?
I didn't let my son watch pokemon because I didn't like how it was a bunch of kids capuring animals to make them fight for entertainment. I thought it was cruel

Pokemon is all in good fun not to be taken seriously. In the first movie back in the day, they explained that there is a big difference between the sparring pokemon do naturally in the fiction, and literally forcing them to go to war with eachother.
The main character sacrifices himself to stop the pokemon war the main villain started, because he went too far and the pokemon didn't want to fight in that way.
Your son will learn if he doesnt already know, how we as a race exploit, abuse and kill animals and people on the daily in everyday life.
Humans are cruel. Sheltering kids doesn't work. The world is full of war, exploitation and evil.
They need to know how to navigate this. Life is messy, and we live in interesting times.
