A lot of people won't fully understand how disturbing pokemon truly is. itsmessed uponce you really consider what goes on, and the messages that are being fed to kids. I didn't notice any of this as a kid, but after watching a few episodes as an adult I noticed some of the following:

-Animal Slavery (pokemon "masters")
-Animal Cruelty & Exploitation(Pokemon battles, teaching them moves to incapacitate and mutilate other pokemon)
-Gambling for sport
-Propaganda to children
- Forced animal engineering(or "evolution")
-Child homelessness
-Promotion of Zionist ideals

etc.

also mind control/brainwashing. Pokemon dont fight their fellow kin because it makes them happy, they fight to entertain humans. that's exploitation.

Only a Japan made show would advocate letting your 10 year child out of your care and all alone in to the wilderness.

If Pokemon were real, all of us here would have lives. None of us would be here because we would instead be training to be Pokemon Masters. Fact.

Chinpokomon was awesome, though i never defeated the evil power (I never became a Royal Crown Chinpoko-master, so it never wasrevealed to me) I never understood why everything involved Pearl Harbor...but seriously i lost interest when there were more than 150 of those things

Chinpokomon, Gotta buy them all! Ive got to buy buy buy!!!

I knew pokemon had sexual content and that kids were homeless and went around "exploring the world" and catchin wierd animal monsters. But it seems theres more to it with what you just said.

- Forced animal engineering(or "evolution")
-Child homelessness
-Promotion of Zionist ideals

black_chamber99

1. That doesn't make any sense.

2. It's marketed to kids. Protagonist is a guy their age who lives on their own. It's not homelessness, it's fantasy wish-fulfillment.

3. What?

Not a very groundbreaking discovery, but it still holds true. Definitely a case of people taking things too seriously. Any game can be made to look evil. Mario jumps on turtles and then throws their shells around (animal cruelty), destroys public property, eats shrooms and picks up large amounts of coins without ever reporting the money to proper authorities. I say we string him up by his mustache!

One thing is that its full of Propaganda. Its kind of an alternative reality, where animals are cool,strong and mysterious creatures called Pokemons. It kind of detaches kids from their own reality. But again, many other animes and cartoons are also like this (the detach part).
