Fuck off, PETA.
GOTY 2012
and not a single fuck was given by any reasonable person in the world
This game has taught me that if an animal ever shows you some kind of affection, it's only to make you more susceptible to it inevitably attacking you. Thank you PETA for opening my eyes to the mercilessness of animals.
Aren't they going to get sued up the ass for this?
[QUOTE=smurfy;37964366]Aren't they going to get sued up the ass for this?[/QUOTE] Parody is fair use IIRC.
[QUOTE=froztshock;37964384]Parody is fair use IIRC.[/QUOTE] Parody is usually like a couple letters are changed. They copied and pasted names, characters, and ideas. They could get sued for this. Like pikachu is still pikachu in the game. If they changed the name in the peta game it would fall under parody. This could technically be seen as a ripoff.

Not that I support this silly thing. I wonder if they could get them on other things though. I doubt the "gameplay" is really anywhere near that of an actual game. Also does anyone else find it really, really irritating that it starts playing that crappy title screen music just because we're on this page? Really wish shack news hadn't embedded the damn thing.

They absolutely shit on family guy and they even said in the commentary they all hate family guy so it wasnt some kind of deal with Fox and they used all the names and everything.
It can also be seen as defamation of Game Freak's intelectual property. I know parodying lets you get away with most things but going too far will get you in hot water, especially for this franchise.

Would be tons of fun if Game Freak sued them. Pokemon games make you feel like [B]shit[/B] when your pokemon are hurt or pass out. If anything they teach you to take care of your pets.
[QUOTE=Raptortheawesome;37964250]Fuck off, PETA.[/QUOTE] Come on, it's not even like it's a bad thing. These PETA parodies aren't taking a pick at the games you love, they're merely using something well known to help make kids a little aware of animal abuse at an early age. If anything, I think it's kinda funny, like the cooking mama parody they have.
I nearly shit myself when I heard music coming on and it was from this page. I thought flash video was blocked?
lol i love these games

I'm actually surprised at the lack of Audino, all things considered.

PETA, don't you have millions of animals to kill? Stop spending time on this stuff.
Jesus, as I was a little kid and played it I just thought it's a game. They are freaking pathethic. Just look how they are trying to make pokemon look like a crazy doctor with blood all over herself that shoots needles at a hurt pikachu. They are trying to make the people think pokemon is a killer game. Why can't they just realize that everything in this world has some kind'a "brutality" and they will never be able to get rid of it. Even our ancestors were brutal, while we say they have a lot more brutality then our world today they would say it's a nightmare, no it's not. It's the real world morons, met it yet ?
Why is there music playing in this thread.
[QUOTE=BenJammin';37965795]Why is there music playing in this thread.[/QUOTE] they pasted the flash game into the news article
What kind of pokemon are these? Pikachu doesn't has Thunder Tepig doesn't has Fireblast Snivy doesn't has Solar Beam 0/10, wouldn't play again, try again noob PETA, get on my level and fight me online
