Full Version: The Truth About...pokemon... Can You Handle The Truth?

Warning: This may shock and disgust you…

I've finally figured it out...The Truth about Pokemon. I'm scared, and, possibly, scarred for life. I wasn't sure who to tell this shocking discovery, so, I though, maybe, just maybe, I could post here.

I suppose I should start at the beginning...
I, too, was once a Pokemon addict. I was determined to "catch 'em all". And, I guess I did. But I got older, and Pokemon lost its appeal. But a little later, I started thinking... Why was it, that whenever you lost, you either blacked out or whited out, depending on the version, and you woke up in the "hospital" with less money than you had before? Why, when you won, did you have more money? I started to realize it wasn't the children's game it's made out to be. Why? Because to put it simply, the point of the game is to KO other people's pets and steal their money. Unless, of course, that was the point. What if they were really trying to teach poor innocent children that it's right to try to kill other people's pets, and steal their money [insert horrified gasp here]… Just imagine poor, innocent little children, having their little pets attack each other, and then stealing the "loser's" money. Imagine the little child's response when the mother demands to know "why?".



"But Mommy, that's what they do on Pokemon! I didn't know it was bad."




Feel free to notify me of my insanity now. That is what happens when I get bored. And please don't get all "Wow, you're way too serious" or "It's just a game" I know. I was- er, am bored...

Wow, I never though about that. You are so right. lol. I think i discovered something about pokemon too but i cant remember.
Envy's lil' miniskirt
Wouldn't you win money and then have to pay for the hospital?

I never played the game but I did watch the show. Strange, strange show.
Ailuro
I think that theory is just too out there to be considered valid. And, also, I don't see the point in posting this if you claim you weren't serious about it. huh.gif

But I thought the Pokémon Centre provides free services! ohmy.gif

I wouldn't know though. I've never blacked/whited out. *flashes self-made Pokémon Master badge*

Perhaps this should go into General Game.

Pokemon Centre services are free, me thinks.

The point of the pokemon gameboy games is to train your pokemon to become badass. My Pidgey would destroy a Charizard.

Even legendary Pokemon?!?!?! Damn, that's strong

...[gasp] Maybe... Maybe you have less money when you check again...Not because the other trainer took it, but because the hospital isn't really free, when they have to come and find you and heal your Pokemon and stuff...'THE HOSPITAL STEALS PEOPLE'S stolen MONEY!!!
Homunculi-Envy
wow, that has a lot of truth behind it!
MasterKris
Basically, when I was little, I never knew and thought about WHERE the money came from. Just thought you recieve money from a Pokémon Battle Government or something. And for the killing of pets, I once shouted, "YEAH! I KILLED THAT POKÉMON!!" And my bro was like, "You idiot! You don't kill pokémon, when the HP runs out, it just faints them." "Seriously? Aw man... all that battle for nothing..."
Fayth Prophecy
This is way too late for me. But I'll keep that in mind, next time I pick up my GameBoy.
Black Zero
My Arkanine will kill anything I'll tell it to.
lisa22k
Arcanine is just plain cool anyway. I had a super cool Vaporeon once, and I kept fainting my sisters pokemnon with it, hhahah she got so annoyed.
Black Zero
yeah, I would love to see some kids battle their pets, then K.O. the other person and steal their pokemon.
Colette
Pokemon also teaches you that stuffing little animals in tiny balls in okay!

And that using animals as slave labor is fine.

And that training animals to kill other animals for your own amusement is fine too.



Come on, kids aren't gonna look into it that much tongue.gif
Le Monkey
It fortunate we dont have people taking it seriously, or trying to be like them!
because look at what I found!!
Pokemon
Pokemon2
Venus Alchemist
I'm quite sure the creator doesn't think of pokemon this way.XD
Truth is, I read this article in Nintendo Power that he thought pokemon wouldn't be made into a game.
I guess it was just a wild idea to begin with...

Anyway, I thought the trainer gave you money after losing...
How else are you supposed to get any. wink.gif
