With the release of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, PETA has placed a new parody of the games on their website called "Pokemon Black and Blue: Gotta Free Em All".

They say that:

The amount of time that Pokémon spend stuffed in pokéballs is akin to how elephants are chained up in train carts, waiting to be let out to "perform" in circuses. But the difference between real life and this fictional world full of organized animal fighting is that Pokémon games paint rosy pictures of things that are actually horrible.

Here is a link to the game.

What are your thoughts?

I'm totally against cruelty, but these people need to get a life. They could be spending their time ending actual cruelty.

If they actually played the games they'd realize it is not like that.

I bet making a video of me getting pissed at Mxyz losing to Prime and Annataz and carving Mxyzptlk on chest and taping and posting on Comic Vine would make much more sense than this.

They are completely nuts. Some of the stuff they come up with is just stupid. PETA wants the total liberation of animals, which means they don't want us to even have pets. I use to be okay with PETA because they would shut down major businesses that would abuse their livestock or animals. I saw a video of a pound that used bleach to punish the pets that were kept there, and PETA got them shut down. They should remain doing that stuff instead of being concerned about Pokemon and forcing shelters that put down animals due to the massive amount of animals they get brought in. I know my local humane society put down 7,000 cats just this year, all humanely. I am sure if PETA got ahold of that story, they would go nuts.

See, PETA, maybe people would actually respect you if you spent your time dealing with ACTUAL animal cruelty rather than focusing so much energy into stupidity such as this

Here's another example of PETA not doing any goddamn research about the crap they attack. I mean the whole story of Black/White is you against Team Plasma who wants to liberate pokemon, and yet they make Ghetsis into a guy who wants to capture and torture pokemon.

Just plain stupid if you ask me.

Well come on, this had to happen sometime. You're beating up wild animals into unconsciousness, stuffing them into tiny little Pokeballs against their will, and then forcing them to fight for you. I'm surprised PETA hasn't protested Pokemon sooner.

It's not cock fighting. The whole point of Pokemon is to form bonds with your Pokemon and grow together to achieve a goal, not placing bets on which one dies first.

Beat it. Pretty good game. Only complaint is that you can't heal. I was really close to biting the dust in that fight with Ash.

On topic, it basically is a waste of PETA's time. Anyone over the age of 9 has realized what they're trying to prove, and if anything, the over exaggerations (You know, the syringes, and missing appendages) make the point more funny than sad.

@_Black said:

They did. Well, at least Black and White, as they pointed out and made a joke about the ending of Black and White in the fight with Ghetsis. And also, it totally is.

Yes PETA, your immediate concern is to protest fictional media. PETA is not even admirable because of stuff like this.

Wasn’t team plasma a reference to Peta. They shown their methods are hazardous. Releasing a domestic Pokémon causes untold damage as many are a custom to be with humans. It was scene in the manga. Many wild Pokémon are jealous at Pokémon with trainers.

Pokémon battles do have standards… You know what I recalling it now PETA is not stupid they are well aware of Pokémon. They are not against animal abuse they are against animal use. They took swing at Ash and other good characters. You can call Ash dumb it is pretty much one of his attributes as a character, but calling him heartless and cruel on his Pokémon. Ladies and gentlemen PETA has no morals at all.

Stop laughing and smiling what they did. It is a joke but it is very sick one. We can laugh at it later after some time passes but not at this moment. They are aware at what they did in order to have attention no matter what the cost. They desire genocide at tamed animals and want to destroy or any companionship with animals. That is their goal. They are an anti animal protection group hiding that cover themselves stating they are good. There may be members that are misinformed thinking they are good which they should know what they are truly about.

I think we can all agree that the perfect Pokemon world is where they do have trainers, but are taught to be friends instead of fighting, like Ash's mom's Mr. Mime.

PETA : You know what? Let's target a whole bunch of video games and protest against them for no apparent reason, even though they have been around for decades. I mean we haven't complained since he nagged about the Mario game, so we need to protest something NOW!
