Looking from their "Games" section, they object to animals fighting but not prostitution.

Hypocrites!

PETA will never be satisfied. They'll always find something to complain about and make a big enough squeal to try and draw more attention to themselves.

About time! Defamation of a popular franchise is never a good thing, and plus PETA has ticked off so many people because of this, I just hope they get what they deserve...

They won't. PETA is funded by nutjobs with more money than sense. Even if Nintendo won, it would be a drop in the bucket.

They didn't do much about the Mario one because it was only one offense. But if PETA is gonna keep doing crap like this, of course Nintendo is going to start getting annoyed.

What. Sony and Microsoft don't have any direct competitors to Mario or Pokemon - and even if they did, they'd know better than to waste money on PETA.

Last time, Nintendo said that the Tanooki transformation don't reflect real life. As Pokémon has no actual real life alternative to draw from, this falls under defamation and breaks copyright laws.


Cockfighting? Dog fighting?

Either way people, be good to animals no matter what people say, that's what's important here. Not well...all "this"...really...

The funny thing is Nintendo and Pokemon company had a commercial in the form of a mock campaign for Pokemon that were stolen in the Pokemon Colloseum game like... 8 years ago I think? The only difference is that the message then made WAY more sense than whatever the hell PETA is thinking.

I mean, dub or Japanese, you only need to watch one episode of that show to know that Ash never made Pikachu go into his Pokeball. And the only time I recalled him doing so (but failed) was to protect his Pokemon from a snowstorm.
