I've heard something about that as well. I guess it's because of the ghost Pokemon or because kids were getting super addicted to it when it originally released. Utter rubbish.

People said it was evil because epileptic children got fits from the flashing colours on the screen and no doubt sticking their faces closely to the TV, so people spread rumours that it was demonic possession and whatnot.

And then some stupider kids thought they could pretend to be Pokemon and jumped off high places and wounded themselves, with people again raising gossip about it being evil.

It does not teach people how to abuse animals, though admittedly Pokemon battles seem like cock fighting. But it mostly teaches you that you can live side by side with animals and love them blah blah.

"The world of Pokemon is so deep" Has to be the most ridiculous quote I can remember. Some NPC in one of the games said that. I had a good laugh.

As for the breeding thing, I would totally be breeding animals if I could have a five metres tall, flying, flame spewing and earthquake-inducing lizard to play with.

Inherently, Pokemon seems very innocent on the surface in that its supposed to teach you about caring and loving your animals, etc etc. But the fact is that it is a show in which animals are pitted against each other, much in the vane of cock fighting or dog fighting. It may not look that brutal on the surface, but the paralell is there.

Yes you can make that distinction and most adults can make that distinction, but can you say the same of every young little kid who plays or watches Pokemon? They might see that Pokemon fight on the show they watch and they end up okay in the end and could translate that to fighting between animals or people.

In the games, you are a 10 year old that can travel the world, capture beasts and put them in little balls, (and upload them on computers as well) and the games also teach that kids can play slot machines and gamble for coinz. :P

If Pokemon wasn't a kid's show, it could be a show about terrorists almost... With attacks like explosion, flamethrower, and poison gas. Heh. Pokemon would make good tools for that kind of stuff. Team Rocket never goes far enough.

LMAO.

According to my dad:

-Charmander turning someone sooty is equivalent to a terrorist killing someone with a flamethrower.
-Pikachu shocking someone is equivalent to electrical torture.

Thus, Pokemon is a show very inappropriate for children. (It's funny that he said this when I was 10 and I still remember it.)

Heh apparently theres an episode that uses Puka puka style drawings (flashes a lot in explosions) and is banned from being aired as something like 25% of people watching felt some sort of sickness.

Also in Japan theres an episode where the team rocket man (forgot his name) has inflatible breasts...Thats kinda weird.

While I can see why people would think this, wouldn't it also be safe to say that Pokemon also shows that it's never okay to abandon your animals?
And that you shouldn't push your Pokemon?
Nor should you fight them till you're on the brink of death?
Also that you should treat your animals like you're friends or family and treat them with love and respect?
