I would have made a thread about this in the BBS, but...Well to be honest, because of what happened in past experiences that wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. Anyway, I've liked Pokemon in the past, but know when I see it, I think much differently of it than I used to:

What's inside a Poke-ball?
Is a Poke-ball look more like their home or a cage?
Doesn't it sound weird that an old man offers kids his balls?
Do Pokemon secretly curse at the person who captured them?
Are Pokemon brainwashed into obeying the person that captured them?
All together, doesn't it seem like Pokemon promotes animal fights?
