(3) PETA and Pokemon, Pokemon League Badge Case, Pokemon Pro Dual Deck Box [10/10]
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
For a parody, this game is great. I especially enjoyed the in-game references, like Ghetsis being still a hypocrite and even mentioning the ending of Black and White and the battle screens resembling those seen in the new games. And for some reason, i want Cheren's re-design made into an action figure.
However, i think i spotted a typo.
The Deck Box looks nice, i hope it will be accessible where i live.
I am excited for the Badge case, because it suggests that this time, we are getting actual Pokémon Badges. Will the Badges be the same ones the Pokémon Centers in Japan have for sale right now, or is this not known yet? And are they methods to obtain the badge case without having to live near a league? The next Pokémon league is over 200 kilometers away from where i live - would it be possible to just order them?
+ not exactly topic-related, but the Post a comment on PB's Forums section below the posts does not redirect proper.

Shouldn't it be infamous for their radical attempts to defend animal rights? Sure they also try to defend the animals themselves, but evaluating their rights is the main purpose of their campaigns, if i recall correctly.News Post said:

Yeah, I saw PETA before, and well, they're not really winning anybody over with that. And a badge case will be cool. Really cool.
Deck box and badge case <3 The box is rather good value, but the sleeves might be bad, or the box may be low quality (PR quality). The badge case is the most excititng thing at the moment for me, I can't wait till we get photos of the badges & the case (not just a random pic)
Yeah I want my Pokemon Catcher Promos! 
While I find the PETA game extremely hilarious, it's also ridiculous. Who do they think they're going to reach with that? I think it's only going to piss people off and give little kids nightmares... >>;
That badge case is really awesome!! It's about time they made one!

Regardless of their intentions. I give no sympathy to terrorists (as they've created, used and even funded for bombs). I also give no sympathy for terrorists who's message is "animals rights" and thinks shoving living dogs/cats/animals in a freezer is a moral way of "putting them down" because they had too many on their hands.
Regardless, I do like to looks of the badge case... and happy birthday

WHY IS THERE A RESTRICTION ON THE SUBJECT TITLE LENGTH?
though I can't blame them for not doing so), it's obvious that Ash actually cares, even trying to free Pikachu himself because he thought it would be best for the little mouse.
Sure, there's inside jokes, but PETA seems to know only the "bad" sides of Pokemon.
I'm afraid that I can't even agree with you on this. If they ever actually watch the Pokemon anime (

RE: WHY IS THERE A RESTRICTION ON THE SUBJECT TITLE LENGTH?
I agree
Also it is an attack whether you like to think so or not WPM...
I can't believe you don't even see that in this, they've attacked Nintendo before, this is no different. They paid people to make the game, PETA did not make it themselves. So of course the other folks were pokemon fans.

RE: was auch immer ich hier gerade zitiere.
It seems more likely that the people at PETA directed the game.Dragon Master Ryuuji said:

You do realize that the game is meant as a parody, not as a canonical accurate re-interpretation from someone's perspective.xGallade said:
I agree that saving more animals would be probably a better investment. However, PETA themselves claim to only kill animals who are fatally ill and would anyway eventually die, not because they have too many animals to take care of.Raigetsu said:
RE: The game
It has accuracy to it. There are recognizable characters and the known setting, but satirized to the point of ridicule. Plus, i can't comprehend why you think such parodies would be ineffective. We here discuss about it, specified blogs and news networks were covering it, even known news agencies featured this subject. It surely gathered attention, which i assume to be the main intention.Zyflair said:
You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby...
My original point to begin with was that they don't know enough about Pokemon. You have no rights to make a parody about something you know little of because it's just too far off.
Recognizable characters? Yes. Known settings? Yes. Correctly depicting anything about Pokemon? Barely. I fail to see how it's any bit effective when it fails to damage Pokemon's standing at all. Unless PETA's only joking around (they aren't), they merely succeeded in entertaining us. Nothing more.Renoir said:

I did not like PETA before, and I way don't like them now!!! I do think saving animals is a great idea, but the way they
go about it is not. Zyflair, Theducktamer, and Raigetsu's comments are spot on!!!
It's a insult to pokemon and a insult to people! Please don't play it.

Second. Why do you think they are not joking around? They could just try to convey their message in a humorous manner this time. It is pretty obvious that a parody has little chances to completely ruin a successful franchise which was involved in more important controversies before. PETA probably knew that, but that may be just overestimation from my perspective.
Your original point is not comprehensible for me. They are sure somewhat knowledgable in the regarded subject (except for the possible Trainer license error), but completely ridicule it by re-interpreting Pokéballs as cages instead of comfortable pocket dimensions and Trainers as irresponsible as well as abusive slaveholders. Can we just agree that you consider this parody as being too excessively ridiculing to be properly effective/entertaining?
First. I did not write it was able to damage Pokémon's standing, i did mention that it was able to quickly gather attention , and i assume that that was their main goal.Zyflair said:

They see me rolling~
So you're telling me that PETA's running a publicity stunt and devoted a staff to simply entertain us?
I just think this so-called "parody" is trash as a message. The knowledge they demonstrated required no more than a few hours of Googling (can I say memes everywhere?).

RE:
The message is not exactly "trash". In a world of cruel and abusive Trainers, Pokémon should be free. However, the comparison is horribly wrong, torn and twisted, as the original Pokémon games show us the opposite.
However, i don't remember that i ever opposed that. Initially, i just pointed out that parodies do not have to be neccessarily canonically accurate.
I am not telling you that, i am telling you that i think the campaign is not very seriously in the parodying parts. I never stated that the whole purpose behind consists of solely entertainment, but it sure plays a role as we are talking about a flash game.Zyflair said:
