the jynx thing?

 

[MidnightScott]

I don't think they were sued. I think they were just forced to change it because of that stupid *****.

I remeber that one time they got sued because a little boy killed another little boy, because that boy had a Charizard card from the first pokemon card deck series that came out in 98 or 99

lmao the murderer should of been sued then

 

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Yeah, see **** GTA, Pokémon was causing deaths way before then. Up yours Jack Thompson (and all the stupid parents who believe in the violent videogames ********)!

 

[Auraninja]

Let's see what I can remeber.

Uri Geller accused Kadabra of being an evil, occult Polkemon that they modeled after him. He said that the star on his head was the Star of David and the lightning bolts on his chest was the Nazi SS symbol. If this guy was a Psychic that he claims to be, he probably would have known about Zenger Cards, or I think they are called that. He also asked for a recall of all products having Kadabra's likeness. Moron...
Edit: I forgot to say that Uri Geller is Jewish. He thought Kadabra was Anti-Seimistic.

And Carole Boston Wetherford said that Jynx was a black stereotype, even though Jynx isn't black in the first place. Mrs. Weatherford is just some twisted woman.

Didnt they get sue because of the Porygon incendent? I thought they did. XD

 

[zuloon]

What Porygon incident?

 

[scrapbook]

the one episode with poyrogon that was part of the Indigo series was never brought to america because of the high lightage in one part of the episode gave like over 700 something kids seziuses in japan

 

[Geki]

I think there was also an incident where a Japanese Golbat card had the nazi symbol on it. They might have been sued over it, but they reprinted the card without it obviously. It might have been Koga's Golbat.

Like EVERY pokemon fan doesn't know about that. XD

 

[jolteon]

I don't know of any cases where Pokemon got sued, but there was this one incident in which Pokemon was doing the suing. Some cancer researchers discovered this new gene and (they had a manipulated sense of humor, I guess) named it POKEMON. Each letter stood for something, except for the N which they just stuck at the end. Pokemon sued and they renamed it, to the less appealing Zbtb7.

I don't think Pokemon would have a problem if they'd name POKEMON to a gene that could cure cancer instead. XD

Ummm...that has nothing to do with Nazism in Japan. If I recall correctly it is a symbol that is part of Buddhism.

www.en.wikipedia.org/Pokemon

It has all kinds of stuff on there.

wow..thats so wicked....

I remember something a few years back about the TCG being banned in the Middle East. Something about the Colorless symbol looking like the Star of David, I think.

 

[VampirateMace]

Yeah the symbol goes the other direction and is suppose to be good luck, incedently they change jynx's color over ther race thing, so why is mr.mime still white? like either one is offense even when veiwed as sterotypes.

mr.mime isn't a stereotype. everyone knows it's directly based off of a mime, and there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Redsoxpsyco]

Didn't people sue after those pokemon toys at burger King had those poke balls that kids choked on?

 

[Blazeing man]

I am not sure.... but, don't they have those toys for kids under 3?Or was it just morons sucking on the ball???

 

[Sahaqiel]

My God, how can the star on Kadabra's head be viewed as the Star Of David? What the Hell? And HOW THE FRIK, DOES JYNX SEEM LIKE A RACIST STEREOTYPE!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!!?!?!!?!?The dumbass that thought it was a racial stereotype should be put in jail. I mean, what could possibly be stereotypical about Jynx's character!?!?!?The fact that it sings, or that it has lips, or what? WHAT THE HELL ARE PEOPLE DOING WITH THEIR LIVES THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE UP STUPID, INCOHERENT RANTS ABOUT THINGS THAT DONT MAKE SENSE?!!?!?!?!?A NAZI SYMBOL!?!!?!?!? A "POKEMON" DISEASE!?!?!?!?? This is to all the ignorant, stupid people, (Including the retard who killed someone over a card, and those who think that someone could get the idea that killing people is a fun activity by playing Doom, or GTA, about the only thing GTA teaches is how to curse several times, annoying everyone in their wake) ..!.,
