I'm actually starting to like PETA.

Remember how awful Charlie Sheen was on Two and a Half Men. Later he went of the deep end and actually became wildly entertaining, his interview with Diane Sawyer was easily his best work since Hot Shots.

This is the same thing, PETA projects like this are so over the top as to be indistinguishable from South Park making fun of them.

Usually art is created, sometimes it just happens, and you should drink it in. A group of well meaning people culture-hacking a childrens video game into an ineffective tool to fight a completely imaginary problem is some amazing absurdist drama right there. It's beautiful.

Animal abuse is an issue. Pokemon cruelty, not an issue in the slightest.

PETA kills thousands of animals, stop liking them or you are liking animal murder

This game was pretty damn funny.

Seeing as we on the other side joke about this anyway I don't really see it doing anything.
PETA's name doesn't hold that much weight any more.
Besides, black and white deals with this issue, I bet they didn't even play the games. What am I saying? Of course they didn't.

I am not a huge Pokemon fan, but I am interested in how they deal with the concept of if Pokemon are a friend or a tool.

The message behind this game confuses me. I only played the first bit, but it seemed that the only fight moves that did anything (helped you win) were the ones employing violence. As well as wasting vast amounts of donor money on something silly, are they saying that the only way to combat animal cruelty is to beat people up? That's what makes the A.L.F. a disgusting, hypocritical organisation, and hardly seems a sensible line for PETA to take.

PETA is very militant. It is only natural the message follows suit. If you want to help animals and not be a PETA Douche. Donate to farms(Agriculture), local trusted shelters(rescue), and ASPCA(Bigger arms). The first one is the most useful in my honest opinion.

This article pretty much covers it.

Yes, because this is a more effective use of donated dollars than rescuing ACTUAL animals, or keeping animals in pet shelters alive.

This is why I either donate money to local farms, local shelters I know have an animals interest in mind, or to the ASPCA. Though, the latter I do only rarely because I can't personally see the fruits of my donation.

PETA is to radical and irrational for me to spend my time helping.

awesome is that a new iphone game? id love to prod pikachu.

But Pokemon are genetically more closely related to humans than animals.

Honestly this would be kind of an interesting game if it was changed a little bit and didn't have to do with PeTA and it's batshittery. You could play as a pokemon escaping from an abusive compound owned by team rocket/aqua/magma/whatever and you would help other pokemon escape while sneaking around or attacking the abusive trainers.

Now, see, this would have been an amazing concept. It would still ring true of anti-animal-cruelty. While not being completely insane. Showing the two sides of the issue. How to resolve the issue with animal -- human relations.

Fucking morons.

I expect this won't be.....super effecti-DAMMIT GW, YOU BEAT ME TO IT.

I hope PITA get the shit sued out of them! BTW, I love eating meat of all sorts, especially the kind that involves animal abuse. Beat meat is the most tender!

I remember in an article I read, in the "Pokemon Universe", people eat pokemon.

And there's the article
