um yeah I hate to say it but i don?t think it?s exactly child friendly so no there is no message to give because adults know and have joked about this stuff since the beginning of time.NuclearShadow said:I think the real message here is they are speaking out against using animals for entertainment in terrible ways such as dog fights. Poke'mon being basically just that which is popular among children is a great way to get that message across. I may not agree with PETA often but they have my support on this one.
The attacks on Mario never really made sense. With Poke'mon however actually is something comparable to a real world problem that is exploiting animals to violently fight and sometimes kill each other. It's kind of sad that you and others failed to see this rather obvious message.CaptainMarvelous said:I'm impressed after the backlash (no, need to go bigger, absolute public ruination of any public image they may have ever had) of their mario parody they had the balls to not only do another but do another aimed at Nintendo. It's getting to the point Nintie might actually be able to claim libel/slander
Less impressed that it's taking the side of Team Plasma since this implies PETA only want us to stop being cruel to animals by loving, feeding and giving them homes so that PETA can control all the PETA-mon and wage war with Reshiram and that... got a little away from me...
Point still stands
People doing dogfights are bad people and they don't care what PETA thinks and they really don't care about pokemon. And we are all pretty aware that dogfights happen and to stay the fawk away from places where it does. In case you failed to see this obvious message. I'll lay it out one last time. PETA's message is moot, because there isn't anyone who doesn't already know and/or does not care.NuclearShadow said:I think the real message here is they are speaking out against using animals for entertainment in terrible ways such as dog fights.

My thoughts exactly.Beryl77 said:I'm disappointed PETA, haven't you ever watched the anime? Ash never puts Pikachu in his Pokeball. I expected more accuracy from you.
I could have told you that off the bat. Good humor lies in the subtleties, and nothing's less subtle than a sociopolitical group. Especially when they're telling a joke everybody heard in middle school.Pebkio said:All-in-all, unimpressive. I was hoping for an exploration thing, the ability to teach the Pokemon their own moves... and... maybe learning from other poke...
You know what? It's irony. I'm a human controlling a Pokemon to make them fight, because that's all you do. The animals have as much say in this game as they do in a regular Pokemon game. It's a human programming a digital animal to be controlled by other humans and make them fight. No difference.
Also, something else I did in this game that I did in all the other ones: Skipped large chunks of the dialogue.
