So...yeah.

Best version of the game ever.

When I'm quoted it means someone wants to engage in some sort of discussion. You aren't talking to me so why quote me? My original statement wasn't a question, and it certainly wasn't directed at you. If you simply quoted me without putting any thought into it I can understand but you could save us a lot of conversation by simply saying so.

What if I am trying to engage in a conversation with you and I'm just wording it wrong?

I don't have issue with that but my statement didn't take a position other than this is something to be expected with PETA. So if you want to start a conversation you should start by asking what I think about it.

Ill save us a post and state that I think it's sensationalizing a serious issue, not the issue of children's games being violent or nintendo teaching our children it's alright to hurt animals but the actual problem of animal cruelty. They're soo extreme it hurts their cause and I don't think they understand that. Everyone just thinks "Oh that PETA's at it again" when facts and numbers would do their cause far more service than the extreme methods they use now. Don't misunderstand my position here, I'm no bleeding heart liberal, I do think as the dominant species of this planet we have earned the right to kill and consume all lifeforms below us on the evolutionary chain but I don't think any of that gives us the right to abuse animals. It's a shame the extremists always tend to give moderates a bad name, they really do have a lot of sensibility to offer.

You basically summed up my view of it. Anyways, sorry for having disturbed you with quoting you in the first place. I was just making a smart ass comment, but we continued. I'm glad I got to know you a little better.

I was though of the pokemon trainer relationship like that of a Lord and his vassal(I guess it makes sense since this is a Japanese game).

As long as the Lord is strong the vassals will fight and be loyal. If he's weak(poke's are overleveled & you don't have enough badges) they ignore you and do as they see fit. The pokemon also show a desire to be strong and continue to get stronger, by battling other pokemons while being lead by the trainer.

I guess Peta really doesn't care about the game/anime/manga, or the relationship between the poke's and their trainers.
If anything it's a publicity stunt, and I seriously hope Nintendo doesn't attempt to sue because that's probably what Peta wants.

That makes sense if they want "funding" for their activities.

And by that you mean killing sheltered animals right?

Yeah. Don't they kill off more animals than they treat and save? Not sure exactly the statistics on that, though.

Peta gets most of their funding from private donations.

I thought it was around 10 killed for every 1 they saved; I wasn't exactly sure of it though.

To be fair your source is not one most would consider reliable.

I liked the mario one better

SPCA kills a lot of strays here.

Not the same thing.

It still equals animals being killed.

Thank you. It felt like I had to change after months with the other one.

Wasn't referring to the act but the person committing the act. Some animals need to be killed.

And I agree. I was just referring to the act itself, not whoever is behind it.

Why are you explaining it to me, I made the original statement which you misunderstood... You have some weird communication issues.
