Well, around this time last year, PETA had made a flash game critisizing Mario's use of a 'Tanooki Suit', claiming that Mario was sending a message that it's O.K. to wear fur, specifically targeting it because in real life, there is a animal called Tanuki, which is a japaneese racoon-dog. The Tanuki is often hunted and beaten to get skins to sell. A few years earlier, they created a flash game targeting Cooking Mama.

This year, with the release of Pokemon Black and White 2, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has made another flash parody, Pokemon Black and Blue version. In this game, you play as Pikachu, Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott as you battle out Cheren, Professor Juniper, Ash, and finally Ghetsis. The games graphics are rather gruesome for a flash game targeted to bring awareness to a young audience. They've also made another game this year, a parody of Super Meat Boy called Super Tofu Boy, with similar graphics and ideals.

David Elwat responded to PETA's parody with this message:

So far Nintendo's responses to PETA's flash parody's have been ideal- almolst role model material. Instead of what could of been a costly lawsuit, after just a well-worded response PETA backed down. This was the case with both the Cooking Mama and Super Mario Brothers parodies.

Personally, I support what PETA stands for, but they have been infamous to overreact. The concept of Team Plasma- under N's rule at least, Has placed the Unova Region tied in my number 2 favourite slot with Kanto, and N first-place in my favourite pokemon characters. Yes, I do like N better than May. I do. He's just that awesome.

So, for those of you that have played the parody, what are your opinions? Do you support PETA's cause firmly, do you have the same opinion as me, do you not like PETA at all? Or do you think something totally different?

PETA find the dumbest things to complain about.

'Tis sadly true...

Pokemon liberation? Isn't that what Team Plasma was fighting for? Just thought I should make that connection.

Yes, well... Under N's rule it was. But Ghetsis was really using it as a front for his evil plans. If you actually go to the game, it shows Pikachu holding a sign saying 'I Support Team Plasma'. It's a shame PETA didn't research enough to know that Ghetsis was using the whole ordeal to steal all the pokemon and re-awaken the legendary pokemon.

Simple explanation of PETA: they are Team Plasma. But they just so happened to escape from BW and B2W2 to try and influence the real world. As long as we have a random ass hero to the rescue who is apparently mute, then there should be no worries about PETA. They will just get beaten in a Pokemon battle. This is contrary to the fact that Team Plasma (ERR....., I MEAN PETA) outnumbers this mute hero by many orders of magnitude to 1.

Another reason to set fire to their houses.

I nominate MastaC as the Mute Hero!

Besides, along with the before mentioned points, its called Black and Blue version but I can't go through both Unova and Kanto!
