PETA’s latest game is about protecting innocent Pokémon
10/8/12 2:22pm
So Pokémon Black and White 2 launched yesterday and PETA celebrated by releasing their own parody Pokémon Black and Blue. The game has you playing as Pokémon gone rogue in an attempt to save other Pokémon from a life of torture and imprisonment. PETA of course has an official message to accompany this:
"Much like animals in the real world, Pokémon are treated as unfeeling objects and used for such things as human entertainment and as subjects in experiments… The way that Pokémon are stuffed into pokeballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods."
Right, Pokémon are just like elephants. And that’s why it is totally ok for Pokémon to teach their human masters a lesson by burning, electrocuting, and educating them on their shortcomings. Interested in trying this wonderfully misled look at the world of Pokémon? Well I happen to have a version you can play right here on ScrewAttack.com.

Somehow I think if you tried to skin/abuse/hurt pokemon like PETA claims, you would find yourself on the receiving end of a hyper beam
the average gamer
just wait til they find out about ghetsis.

So...animal abuse is wrong (yes, I know), but...PEOPLE abuse is okay?

Their whole message is extreme and disgusting. Really makes humans seem just 100% cruel and selfish. It's a game - children never think about dominance and experimenting, they just want to catch them all. Geez...

Video Games aren't for you to exploit Peta. They exist for their own reasons.

Ironically some parallels can be drawn between Team Plasma and PETA. They say they want ethical treatment for animals and yadda yadda, but they're all fucking ruthless hypocrites in the end.

I always thought pokemon showed kid's compassion to animals. The difference between animals and pokemon was that pokemon had deep aspirations just like humans. Sure, both humans and animals have feelings but pokemon have goals and forge partnerships with trainers because they need each other to learn. That's why you can't make pokemon join your team if you knock them out, you hath to prove your worth by catching them by their rules. Pokemon want success. friendship, love, challenge, that's why they stay with their trainer. Together, they accomplish more and become happier.
