Never got into pokemon much - tho I thought pikachu was incredibly cute. But the fighting is pretty brutal which we seem to excuse easily... for one reason or another.
lmao - you're hilarious btw.
gotta love the british + their accents - esp when your voice cracks hah ...okay, that's creepy - ...did I just type that? lol
i don't think kids are capable of thinking like that. i never did, lol. then again i never knew how much sexual innuendo was in all the songs i liked at 12, now i do i think "that's awful!" XD
Yes, but forcing animals to fight each other is generally a taboo subject,for its cruelty, and the fact the animals cannot defend themselves.
Whereas war is usually seen, not as a positive, but as a needed thing. Very rarely on games like Call of Duty do you go to war simply for the hell of it. Whereas in Pokemon (which I still love! :S) it's just for the gratification of humans.
Maybe I'm looking into this a little too much...withdrawing...NOW! *gasps for air*
Hahaha, ah... Such truth an' altruism Tommy. Though, I've been thinking this since I used to watch the show before going to school each day. Maybe I'm just too much of a sadist since I never thought to point it out to anyone. Maybe we could notify PETA?
Agreed. My 5th grade (when we're about 10 or 11 yrs old) teacher once gave us an anti-pokemon lecture pointing out many of the things you mention. I spinelessly joined in the mocking and questioning of her sanity, but secretly, I agreed with her.
Bahaha, I liked this Tom! I think to an extent people have noticed that it's true because, once you got to the games like Sapphire and Ruby, you were able to do those pageant things, haha.
Haha. I was really into pokemon and slowly drifted away... I never did think about it like this, though. Maybe I will next time I play o.O
Very funny video... I laughed out loud a few times.

My biggest problem with pokemon is that you can just walk into anybody's house whenever you want.
