PETA Plays Pokemon

[themilo504]

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.

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

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.

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.

also pokemon does not make sense for this message because like I said the world is basically a perfect place where humans and pokemon share a symbiotic relation and nobody even thinks about abusing their power beside the villains who never kill anybody and tend to be defeated by meddling kids so now it does not fit at all.


I know about not shooting the message but when the way to bring the message is so awful and wrong I do shoot the message preferably with a sniper rifle that fires angry lions.

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.

PETA, what are you even doing anymore? Just stop. I don't think anyone has taken PETA seriously for years.

 

[Auesis]

All this has achieved is a new-found longing by me for a darker pokemon game.

 

[Jfswift]

Heh the storyline of Pokemon black kind of addresses this already doesn't it? I don't know why PETA felt a need to step in.

Four things:

1. As much as the game disgusts me, the art style is pretty good and it's actually competent for a flash game. Also, it's actually pretty difficult. I don't know if that was the intention or I just suck, but I almost lost my pikachu on the first fight. Didn't play anymore after that. Also, the treasure chest is a lie. I saw that NOPE coming a mile away. Don't fall for it.

2. Obviously whoever designed this game didn't play the ending of B&W. (See: TEAM PLASMA ARE THE HEROES OBV)

3. Guys, PETA doesn't want to free your pokemon. PETA wants to kill your pokemon. They want to right a perceived wrong we started eons ago.

4. PETA donates money to convicted felons like Team Rocket.

EDIT: Related for B'AWW

I'm disappointed PETA, haven't you ever watched the anime? Ash never puts Pikachu in his Pokeball. I expected more accuracy from you.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Dangit2019]

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.

Catchpa: sting like a bee

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.

Why in the world would I ever use Whiplash or Bullhook Blast when they cost the same in energy but do less damage than Cage Toss? Such a silly card. And 120 HP isn't enough to save it from most stage 2 pokemon, especially considering the pitiful damage. I guess it is good for stalling if you got enough healing cards.

Also, why would those attacks use electric energy? Those looks like they should be metal energy.

 

[DoctorObviously]

PETA. Virtual animals.

 

[MixmasterInTheSky]

I was surprised by the level of rage and hate in this thread. I thought the game was a pretty funny and apt parody. First time I've ever laughed at a Mudkip joke.

 

[Seives-Sliver]

Everyone just ignore PETA, they haven't been relevant since they tossed animal blood on movie stars with fur coats. All they will ever be is a minor annoyance, and a group of hypocrites that kill 80-99 percent of the animals they 'save'.

Nice game. They got a good mix of Pokemon and Happy Tree Friends there.
