Did they get in trouble for that?
They had it all the way into gen four.

I am pretty sure they only removed it so they could keep a child friendly rating.

Isn't gambling stuff + child friendly rating a large part of why EA are in trouble for it though? I guess GameFreak decided to remove it before it really became an issue, as opposed to EA who just went all out on it, but still.

From what I've heard, they dropped the casinos from the Pokemon games in order to drop the overall rating for the games so it'd be E for Everyone. I think the gambling games caused it to get a 13 and up rating, which they didn't want. I think the digital re-releases of the old games have these higher ratings.
