A rather heavy-handed take on the morals of Pokemon.

 

"In celebration of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 launching yesterday, animal-rights group PETA today released Pokemon Black and Blue, a parody game with the tagline "Gotta free 'em all." Pokemon Black and Blue has players embody Pikachu as he fights against trainers for liberation from what PETA sees as a torturous, imprisoned life.

"Much like animals in the real world, Pokemon are treated as unfeeling objects and used for such things as human entertainment and as subjects in experiments," PETA writes. "The way that Pokemon are stuffed into pokeballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods."

This isn't PETA's first foray into activist gaming; in December 2010 it released Super Tofu Boy, a parody of Super Meat Boy. Team Meat responded to PETA by including Tofu Boy as a playable character in a Steam update of Super Meat Boy.

Pokemon Black and Blue
demonstrates that while it's terrible to punch, kick, cut or hit fictional animals with bats, it's perfectly acceptable to electrocute humans. Also, words can hurt just as much as quick attacks. And hugs."

the game was quite fun actually.



They have clearly never watched the first Pokémon movie.



 

Not only they are spending money doing that BS instead of using to really benefit the society/protect animals, but now they will lose lots of money paying Nintendo/The Pokemon Company for using "Pokemon" and Pikachu without permission.

What will be next, going after the police for using dogs to find drugs or explosives?



Please excuse my bad English.

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

PETA is a shit organization that doesn't know how to really help animals.

This wont make a difference at all. Dorkly.com makes fun of pokemon MUCH better



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

The soundtrack is really good. I enjoyed it more than B/W.

Surprised how accurate this game is for its purpose. You need to use a small amount of strategy to win.



Well.. they dissed Mudkip so I can't say there anything wrong with this..

Didn't they make fun of Mario a long time ago as well because he wore a RAccoon suit or something?


Kind of. They did claim to oppose Mario's Tanooki suit, but once the criticism arrived at full force they said that it was all just a big joke made to raise awareness.

Joke my ass.

Ridiculous stands, claims, statements  and efforts of this kind is probably what keeps this muppet organization alive.
