Here's the thing about the fugitive arc for me:
A few years ago i would've agreed that it didn't add a whole lot to the game.
However, the past few years have subjected me to witness others go through situations that have... disturbing parallels to this arc. Without saying who or what they did, I've seen MANY people have their lives ruined by accusations made towards them that, while a majority of them are true, there's always a handful that are wrongfully punished. But no matter who the person is, what they were accused of, or if they are guilty or innocent... they ALWAYS go through a situation like this in the end. Being shunned from their communities, losing friends, and ultimately becoming outcasts, having their lives uprooted at the mercy of those around them.
That's what's happening here. And it's crushing.
Having to live knowing the fact that anyone could end up in this type of situation is... harrowing. It unearths this instinctual, almost primal fear that suffocates your thoughts. It makes this moment, intentionally or otherwise, feel very uncomfortably well-aged, which is makes the fugitive arc hit even harder.

I've played Red rescue team thoroughly and while the connection between a human becoming a pokémon in these natural disasters are loosely connected the main assumption that you walk away from it is because Gengar abandoned his Gardevoir the Ninetails cursed him to become a pokemon to know the pain of his partner HOWEVER the world didn't like that and thus tried to erase the imbalance by sending a mentor to set things back to normal.
Also yes ecological disasters are a main subject in the game because fundamentally when you think about it pokémon and it's very core is a ecological preservation game. We see the heaviest impact of this underlining tone and sword and shield with their corsola.

While not narratively necessary, it gives a good excuse to do some more world building and underpin how severe the disasters happening around the world are. I think the bigger issue with this arc is how it (doesn't) translate to gameplay once the arc ends. It revolves around the idea that the characters would normally be unable to travel to those locations because rescue team work is painted as a day by day thing and those places are not anywhere they should normally be able to travel in that time span... Except they apparently can, seeing as you can take missions in those dungeons and clear them in a standard day just like every other dungeon you've unlocked up until that point.
The premise it builds upon isn't all that unbelievable either seeing as in times of trouble, people often look for any reason that it might've been that way in hopes that of trying to stop the trouble and gengar gave them the seemingly perfect reason behind those large scale disasters. Considering multiple large scale events in the story have moral implications (the mankeys come to mind immediately), it isn't too out of place in the context of the story either.

It's also sorta hard to take the environmental disasters thing seriously when a huge chunk of the early game just has absolutely nothing happening (and i don't mean very slow and minor plot advances i mean actually nothing) and the environmental disaster thing is basically never relevant outside of the very first mission of the game and then the fugitive arc where the plot randomly just turns on the maximum overdrive

Weird how the post game implies that Gengar never lost his memories.
But it makes it 100% funnier that when he learns that his existence actively causes the world to break down, his first thought is blaming it on someone he doesn't like cuz he beat him at finding a cacoon.
