PETA Attacks Pokemon?

[Padlock-Keys 57]

Didn't they already? But they also attacked Mario a year ago or so? Man, Anonymous PLEASE take PETA down or expose them for the shithead COMPANY that they are.

 

I say that The Pokemon Company/Nintendo should SUE PETA for this. Shouldn't they?

Article 2: http://www.torontosu...ng-animal-abuse

 

There are plenty more animal rescues out there that do a 100% better job than PETA! Oh dear god, I just had a horrible daydream... what if PETA attacked MLP? "Horses should be wild and FREE!"

 

 

.... I'm not even going to comment on that O.O!

 

But no seriously. PETA, a pet owner, just by rescuing a dog from the pound can do ten times better than your crappy company. You do absolutely NOTHING to raise awareness or protect animals... you just... are horrible.

 

PETA: People eat tasty animals!

 

See what I did there? No offense to those who are vegan/vegetarian....

 

 

EDIT. I decided to write a little more detailed opinion on the matter as it seems others have very um, indifferent opinions, some are joking and some are serious. Although all feedback is greatly appreciated!

 

Animal Cruelty is everywhere. PETA knows this. Everyone knows this. Then how come people only care when some stupid video-game is damaged that’s when people get mad? It’s pathetic. I am guilty of this though. I didn’t start caring about PETA until Super Mario Land 3D, when the Tanooki suit incident occurred.

 

So, ask yourselves, what would make this better?

 

Building more animal shelters?

 

Raising awareness?

 

Getting more people to volunteer in animal shelters and rescues?

 

We’re already aware of animal cruelty. Though making documentaries no matter how horribly graphic they are is NOT going to help raise awareness, in my opinion it’s just going to make us go ‘like OMG that’s so horrible!’ and then we flip the channel to Cartoon Network or something.

 

Building more animal shelters might help, because there are a lot of places that don’t have enough space, the dog I got fourteen years ago was about to be euthanized because there wasn’t enough room. Now we own him and he’s turning fifteen soon, he’s a happy and healthy old dog! He can pull my mom off her feet when she walks him to the park!

 

Ding, ding, ding! I think we have a winner! Getting more people to volunteer, at least even for an hour or two, with any charitable organization (not PETA), would help a tone! Whether it be for humans or animals or whatever, everyone can pitch in a little bit of time can’t they? I do encourage some people to donate their time to organizations. Not just their money. I think time is a little more valuable than money, in certain situations, though both are pretty important.

 

Overall this is my more detailed response, as my last one was rather ignorant. Please continue commenting and providing as much feedback as you can. I want to somehow help animals and stop organizations like PETA, but then again; what is it that we can do about PETA? Nothing! It’s sad but true. Getting mad over it won’t help, but thinking about what we can do to make things better can help a tone.

 

Thank you for listening.

I think that their Mario parody happened well over a year ago...

 

Anyways, I played the new PETA game. It is so terribad... SO TERRIBAD, MAKE ME UNLIVE IT

[Starshine 16,333]

 

Anonymous, no matter what you heard about them, is not a charity organization where everyone can simply ask for their help

Yeah I agree Nintendo should do something about it, but getting our jimmies rustled while we can do nothing is just useless.

 

And about PETA attacking MLP? Why should they? In the show every horses live freely

Publicity. Popularity. It's simple as that. PETA wants the publicity from the hate. It was just a random guess that PETA might attack MLP, I'm not saying that they WILL but I'm like "DEAR GOD IF THEY DO, LOVE AND TOLERATE, GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE. Where's my BASS CANNON?"

[Wubsie 1,123]

I laughed so hard when I saw the title of this thread.

Attacking Pokemon? You fucking serious? Didn't some people already try to take Pokemon down for devil worship? Really? Animal abuse? Come on PETA lighten up, it's a fucking kids game that everyone enjoys. Stop it.

I doubt they've touched an episode of this phenomenal series known as Pokemon to even say this BS.

As you can see Pokemon are companions to roam regions with and battle to be the best. Trainers always take care of their Pokemon, show them respect, and treat them with love. They don't beat them, they heal them and feed them when they need help. They have Pokemon centers for Pokemon to rest. Just look at Ash Ketchum, he treats every single last Pokemon like they are his own damn child, and his Pokemon loves him as well.

If anything this show teaches a child how to be responsible with a pet, not shove them into balls and harm them.

Just back the fuck off PETA....please...

Edit: I have just started playing the game. Pikachu in a Pokeball?

Seems Legit...

I actually played and beat that PETA Pokemon Parody game...It wasn't that bad.

 

I mean PETA is wrong with their message though. SINCE POKEMON DON'T EXIST!

[AnonBrony 1,468]

If i was actually part of Anonymous, despite my username being AnonBrony, i would gladly help send that company down the grave and expose the truth.

I'm not even gonna comment on the rest of this. This... its just.... no, its just no.

[AegisReflector 886]

I wasn't aware that Pokemon are real animals.

 

I'm sorry, PETA, I'll try not to pour water over my Charmander. How thoughtless of me!

It's not that PETA claiming that Pokemon exists, it's that the younger generation become so focused on playing Pokemon that they will forgot that animals have rights too :/

 

Just read the opening lines on the game, it's all there

[Typhoid Libby 1,265]

Humour on the expense of those who have lost their grip on reality.

 

It's the funniest stuff there is.

I support this silly thing.

[Crispy 5,563]

People still listen to things that PETA have to say?

 

Oh well. They did Mario with the whole Tanooki thing, now it's Pokemon. We'll all forget in a week and it'll be something else that has the internet in a tizzy for a bit, rinse, repeat.

[AegisReflector 886]

It's not that PETA claiming that Pokemon exists, it's that the younger generation become so focused on playing Pokemon that they will forgot that animals have rights too :/

 

They are using a fictional basis though to relate events into the real world. To me, that's just as on level into believing that there are Earth-like Pokemon out there that actually do this crap.

 

It's a stupid marketing gimmick if you ask me.

[null123456 759]

First, they make fun of mario, then Super Meat Boy.. Now POKEMON! Poke. DAMN. Mon.

I mean really! If there going to make fun of something they may as well make fun of themselves! I mean.. I see why they want to protect animals and stuff (Sarcasm). But is raging over some FAKE cartoon or game, making a game offending the company that made the game, and ranting about nearly nothing PETA's job?! I guess it is..

I rest my case.

It's stupid, but at least they didn't rightfully claim that Pokemon exist and being forced to claw each other to live, like some people said in this thread

[HomuraBL 851]

Just finished watching a full play though of it.

 

It was kinda funny how inaccurate this entire thing are.

 

Especially since pokemon are treated with more respect and compassion then any animal in our world.

 

But peta seriously needs to give it a rest. :/

[sleepyhead. 174]

Oh whoopie, more propaganda.

 

Let's bitch about a bunch of colourful pixels that supposedly promote animal abuse and turn it into an even more vividly violent flash game.

[HomuraBL 851]

I'm a slowpoke, I just figured out the slowpoke joke at the end.

 

The slowpoke comes at the end to say that Team plasma is a group that helps free pokemon, but they were disbanded already and...spoilers...

 

So the slowpoke is a slowpoke get it?...

 

But seriously, memes aren't going to help you either peta. :/

[Seiji Matsuri 19]

Honey... PETA has been attacking Pokemon since 1996. This really is nothing at all new.

 

They've been at this game for about as long as a fair majority of users on this site have been alive.

[letterone 1,204]

Just played the game. They got so many things wrong. But let's not nitpick and instead talk about how much of a dumb piece of crap Peta is.

 

And yeah... they're very bad. Yup. Dat's all.

[Pix3M 607]

If you wanna convince people that your side is better than another, making a gory, malicious parody will just make you look like a hate group despite how you're supposedly all about love.

Ah, I've heard of this. I didn't think it was worth talking about, just sheer idiocy on every level. Don't they have better things to focus on than Pokemon?

We are the internet, we love talking about idiocy.

 

Well, obviously no, since they felt that making a huge flash game, (which I will applaud them for actually putting work into making a game instead of being completely lazy), to show a message. :/

 

Peta, if you are truly trying to have a support for animals and are not just in it for attention, then I will admit to having respect for you for that, but you just take it too far sometimes.

[Kalypso 69]

I would like to include the fact that they have all but destroyed the economy of Ocracoke Island North Carolina by shutting down the best part of our beach to save an endangered species... wait for it... that isn't even supposed to live here they invaded our beach and are taking over other species and now we have to pay to get on the beach and are losing tourist which is what people on this island live off of.

[Gears of Halo Duty V 394]

Just saw some video playthroughs of it, and the end really got to me. It was really insightful to learn how Ash never cared for Pikachu or any pokemon at all.

 

You know, despite the fact that

• In the very first episode he risked his life for Pikachu

• He decided not to force Pikachu to evolve because he believed in his abilities and valued the bond they had

• He decided to let Pikachu go live with other Pikachus at one time becuase he believed he (Pikachu) would have a better life

• He never forced Pikachu into a pokeball because Pikachu didn't like being inside one

• He always puts the well being of his pokemon ahead of even his own

Oh wait... You just successfully and systematically pissed off countless fans of a show that teaches friendship, trust and compassion.

 

[NostalgicPony 310]

I'm actually enjoying playing this game. It's fun to be able to attack your trainers and stuff. Plus they are attacking you with random stuff that is so deadly.
