PETA is definitely Plasma

[KZN02]

I'll be slightly fair on something, remember the Safari Zone had you throwing rocks at Pokemon, and there was Team Plasma kicking a Muuna.

To be even more fair, the entire game is based on forcing animals to fight for fun and profit. Which is illegal in real life.

Of course, the problem with some people is that they can't distinguish fiction from reality.

The only difference between this game and Ghetsis' sickening vision is we can see the blood this time around.

PETA actually believes this crap.

Also, remember that episode of the anime where Team Rocket rigged up the ring so that a trainer felt all the pain their pokemon felt?

To be even more-more fair, Pokemon are generally shown to be intelligent creatures, capable not only of actually understanding humans on a level far above that of dogs, but also capable of having actual discussions with each other, even between different species. In the anime, at least, Pikachu often translates the words of other Pokemon for Ash--Ash isn't able to understand most Pokemon, but has been with Pikachu so long he's able to understand Pikachu. Careful viewing actually shows Pikachu has a distinct language--using the same string of sounds to refer the same thing repeatedly, such as referring to Ash as "Pikapi", which could be said to be a mimicking of his Japanese name "Satoshi". Added to this, in Pokemon Black and White, the character N is shown to be able to talk with Pokemon.

The simple truth is, the relationship between Pokemon and People cannot be easily drawn to that between Animals and People. Pokemon are intelligent and actively seek out human contact--the act of catching a Pokemon is about earning the Pokemon's respect by defeating it in battle, proving that you have what it takes to help make it stronger. Pokemon enjoy battling each other, and humans help facilitate that. In fact, Pokemon are often so desperate for human contact, they attack travelers, hoping to provoke them into trying to capture them--this is why it's always forbidden to enter tall grass before you have a Pokemon of your own.

I get the feeling that a Numel would sweep absolutely anything in that particular fight.

I wonder what would happen if Self Destruct or Explosion was used.

The show just shows it as mostly a giant sonic blast that leaves the user unconscious.

In Pokemon Special however...

So PETA decided to rip off Pokemon, and do so in a horrible fashion. Really, PETA? You're so desperate for attention that you use a bad imitation of Pokemon to try to send your message. I mean, REALLY, PETA?! You use the strategy of shock sites to try to send your message out, I mean REALLY? Have you no shame, or imagination PETA?!

Okay, can't do that as well as Seth Meyers, so I'm gonna get to the point. Is blood and gore the only arguments they have to work with? Because I can argue that they kill far, far, more animals themselves than they save, the hypocrites. IIRC, it was something like 50k+ animals killed to 10 or so adopted out?

I think I'll keep sticking with the Humane Society or the ASPCA. Both do a much better job than these hacks, and without the hypocricy.

If they're going to do a pokemon parody, they should do it right:

No, they are also quite fond of sex.
