Just Crouton Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well, to be fair, they do have [i]some[/i] reason to dislike Pokemon's concept. Capturing animals and making them beat the crap out of other animals for human entertainment (or whatever they do now) is...well...inhumane. Frankly, I'm surprised the anime continued after the first movie's in-universe revelation that maybe it's a bad thing to train and order animals to kill each other.

Darth Revan of the Sith Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I couldn't care less if you are shoving pikachu down a garbage shoot. I like that game so screw PETA. Never liked them anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spenсe Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 They're fictional creatures in a fictional world... How exactly is it sending a wrong message to children and under what proof? What, are kids gonna go out and catch wild animals in little balls? Sounds like a bunch of idiots with a lot of time and money on their hands.

Wave_Sine Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 This is copyright infringement, libel and possibly trademark violation. Nintendo/Game Freak honestly should sue. Also, the games themselves [i]already[/i] sort of touched on this issue. Why else would the sprites for Team Rocket Grunts in R/B/Y/FR/LG have whips?

We've got giant murdering machine bees, for Arceus' sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 You can protest whatever you want, but when you [i]deliberately [/i]misinterpret something just to get attention, that's f***ing low. PETA is also using violent imagery just to increase shock value. They can rot in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I really don't see the problem with pokemon, considering almost every game has the message of "being friends with your pokemon unlocks the greatest power". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I find it creative and kinda hilarious, actually. The whole "let's skin the otter because people use their pelts" thing? Perfect! ...not that this is a good idea or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I seriously want to spite the designer who actually did this: as a part of an industry constantly plagued by copyright, someone from the industry shouldn't be helping it happen (in an insanely over-the-top annoying completely disgusting way). Besides, they seem to be always misinterpreting how shock value works. Admittedly, it was a fun game. Ahem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I saw this game yesterday and I find the game is stupid but hilarious (i.e. the custom pokemon cards) [quote name='Wave_Sine' timestamp='1349926659' post='6041972'] This is copyright infringement, libel and possibly trademark violation. Nintendo/Game Freak honestly should sue. [/quote] I agree with you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 PETA is, like, supporting Team Plasma or something, right? Do they know Team Plasma wanting to free Pokemon is just a front for world domination, and that their leader is an evil man who abuses Pokemon for his own gain?

~British Soul~ Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Imo, these are like the best pokemon cards ever: [img]http://pokebeach.com/news/1012/peta-16.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 That ash ketchum card made me chuckle. XD But it's kinda stupid, methinks. PETA's once again been a bit of an idiot, and to be honest, Nintendo should sue. I'd fine it hilarious. They could sue about the Mario game at the same time.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 This thoroughly angers me to my core I LITERALLY grew up on Pokemon Those PETA bastards can take an iron tail to the face I had to watch the opening theme on repeat to cleanse myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Ah yes, this. I believe the appropriate response to PETA is clearly outlined in this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtOPacnjxLU[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Spock Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 It made me chuckle. I'm actually happy that PETA did this. Next to no one outside of the Pokemon game industry is taking it seriously as far as I know, and Pokemon fans are retaliating. PETA are also liable for suing so no worries there, and the custom cards they made are also pretty entertaining to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
