Just out of curiosity, is there anything in society that PETA does like?

Themselves.

You guys are seriously missing the point. Obviously, Pokemon aren't real. But the fact that they're fictional and completely improbable is the very reason that they're destructive. With the colorful monsters and the magical powers, the games cement themselves in the minds of children (and gullible adults) and subconsciously, they begin to see it as alright. So in a million years, when modern science makes it possible to keep an elephant in a "pokeball" and walk it around with you, the descendants of those children and gullible adults will find no fault.
Just arguing PETAs point, since no one else seems to be doing it..

No one else is arguing petas point for they are a bunch of nosey fart brained boozooes and if your with them then you too fall into with them and as we all know no one needs to hear from them idiots.

I used to watch the 3 stooges when I was a kid and eventually they said it was bad as it provoked violence in young children.

And therein lies the true horror of Pokemon.

In the Pokeverse, every animal is a Pokemon, so what does everybody eat?

They also have real animals in the Pokemon universe. They eat those.

The pokedex often refers to certain Pokemon as a "mouse" pokemon. Or the "goldfish" Pokemon  Meaning regular animal exist among the pokeverse. They cannot be captured in pokeballs and no one trains a chicken.

But in the wild Pokemon do eat other. And some lesser intelligent Pokemon who have less "human" emotions are sometimes eaten. Like slowbros tails are a delicacy. But its illegal most of the time. Even for the stupider slowbros. Whose name is based upon their low intelligence...

But in a Pokemon game you also save a bunch of slowpokes from an illegal tail harvesting operation.....

People Eating Tasty Animals, now there's a PETA I'd be down for.

Ok,first ,I love pokemon . I have Pikachus ,and charazards ,and squirtles ,in my car
.
Second,I hate PETA.They are hypocritical cretins.
We had a bunny emergency ,that actually made the news ,and dozens of us contacted them for help,but gosh,I guess bunnies don't get enough press for them .
They also kill 100s of animals on th sly ..they are nuts .,and yes,to work for them,in most positions,you must be vegan.

All that being said,loving pokemon as I do,I mentioned it to a very Bohemian pal,who has no political opinions .
She said to me,I hate it.The animals are slaves .They're kept in a tiny prison ,until they're allowed out to get beaten up .
It's actually close to dog fighting ,in theory .

That skewed how I looked at it after that . It can make it,seem right ,to a forming mind.
If my kids watched it ,I would explain its make believe for fun ,and confining animals ,just to fight ,is not true. It's make believe.

The PETA girls are hot; I am looking forward to one of their naked protests, this time with a stuffed Pokemon.

PETA is directly responsible for thousands of animal's deaths due to their stupidity.

'Lone Voice' here: I support and approve of PETA. I think they're right to criticise the content of childrens' games. Posters here are saying the creatures are imaginary, which is obviously true, BUT ....... they(the posters), are not children! Young children can't always distinguish between what's real and what isn't, even when they say they CAN, if asked! Facts and falsehoods are all soaked up equally by young brains and no discrimination is applied.

I am a bit late coming into this topic, but.. umm no?

My kids loved pokemon, I never did.. they watched it on tv, played games, had the pokemon games and toys that were out at their time

All their friends were into it too..

Not any child I know of has thought of being abusive towards animals due to the show, we actually take in feral cats, get them fixed, shots.. and re release them.. the kittens we trap, tame.. find homes..

My now adult children are very loving towards animals. (though many may say no, because *ahem* I grew up in a hunting family, and we all eat rabbit and venison)

A tv show is not going to turn a child into an abuser. IF they are going to grow into abusers, there is most likely something inside them that no tv show is really going to stop or keep going.

People who abuse, usually are abused. Or them have some mental disorder of some kind or are just those pple hwo seem to have no concept of right or wrong, they just do not care.

A game like pokemon would mean nothing to them.

I think blaming music, tv and games is a very big cop out.

I mean I guess you could say that earlier abusers were abusive because of larry moe and curley?

What of abusers before them?

Peta is just out for attention, they think that any publicity is better than no publicity.

Not much different then politicians.

Hey,you don't have to sell me .I purposely put 100s,despite my knowing its 1000s,because if I had said 1000s,one of my many "fans" on here,who all claim I'm dellusional ,would say I was lying ,exaggerating ,and misinformed ,like they always do .
So thank you for saying it in my stead .
