That didn't offend me at all. Though...I must admit. Those candies at the number one slot seem to be just a little tasteless.
Is the 9/11 Pokemon offensive?

I live in New York, but I dont get offended by 9/11 stuff. Even if this was true, it wouldnt bother me. What DOES bother me is the way you worded your response. I get your point, but dont say you americans like all of us are the same. Considering we are the most not the same than any country in the world, its very ignorant.ShadowsofHope said:
As noted in a previous post, I realize my wording was a little generalizing in tone off the bat, but that was mostly my annoyance at the upbringing of the topic once again (especially when attempted to be connected to Pokemon, of all things). So, I do apologize for that small error, sir.Saelune said:
I say get over it, i mean where im from 9/11 was actually on 11/9 anyways. and if every bad event fully taboos an idea or just random numbers chucked together or anything, eventually there will be nothing anybody can say or do ever
The most offensive thing i can find is the article itself. Im an american and i was not offended by this incident, i was however mortified that A LOT OF PEOPLE DIED!!! and not that someone was targeting two very tall buildings. whenever i have read or heard something talk about 9/11 it always sounds like the buildings have more value than all the people that died in the event put together. I would much rather have all the people back than the stupid buildings. yes it sucks that we got attacked but its not like it hasn't happened before or that we didn't retaliate. and i am offended that an article is claiming that it is treating something it finds offensive with delicacy and restrant when the article clearly isn't. hippocracy offends me.
P.S.
I found numbers 9, 6, 3, and 1 hilarious.

I don't know. I read the article and it seems like they're pulling any random thing to be offensive. Like there wasn't really anything to truly be pissed about.

I find James Cameron's Titanic to be offensive to all the people who died there.
Also every war or disaster movie ever made!
[/sarcasm]
Actually I think it's nice to have a 9/11 reference. It was an event that shook many people. Why can't the pokemon have an event that shook them too.

Indeed good sir, I challenge you to pistols at dawn. If the loser survives than he will be demoted to dipping sauce *****.duktapeman90 said:

This is why people need to be more open minded rather than closed tight in their closet of comfort. We might say it again if raised again, but it's history and long buried too.
A couple years from now we'll look back to the Japanese Earthquake and remark on its destructive nature and what it left behind to the victims and people of the Earth and will go down in history and WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, whether we want to or not. And then we'll say it to future generations about the tragedy. I know some of the tragedies have already been said a lot by history teachers, or people remarking on the events that took the world by storm. /End rant
OT: No its not offensive, I rather found it as if the developers are poking at Transformers or Godzilla at the very least. XP

Thankyou!Korak the Mad said:
This is POKEMON for heavens sake! I want to see poorly designed monsters beat the crap out of eachother with fireballs and lazers and various other pretty animated colourful stuff! Not shed tears for something that I stopped giving a shit about 10 YEARS AGO.
No shit, Sherlock. It was clearly a joke.Amarok said:
Sandile are cool. I have a Krokorook in my party which could own a Jihadeon any day.
I don't know what is supposed to be so distasteful about this.
It is just a reference, not even a comic one.
Video Games make reference and jokes about the nationalsocialists crime at every given opportunity and noone cares. Why should the simple mentioning of numbers be anything offensive?

Haven't read most of the thread, so it may have been mentioned already, but...
Kyurem isn't even found anywhere near route 4, at all. The meteor story occurs in the very northeast of Unova, in Route 12.
This is just an example of Cracked, who usually are correct with information, not doing the research. I doubt they've even played the game.
