I kinda want Nintendo to address these claims......I mean they are so family friendly, yet clearly made a very successful IP about enslaved animals fighting each other until one loses consciousness.

The philosophy that the trainer and pokemon love each other is pure BS because a trainer wouldn't put a pokemon in danger for glory and profit.

They made statements on both the Mario 3D Land and Black and White slander.

The statement dealt mostly with mario, which I totally agree with. PETA can never make a case on Mario.

But Pokemon is pretty much a child friendly animal fighting simulator. No getting around that. To me, it taps in to our primal urges for violence and competition, but making it approachable and easy on the eyes.
