Is the show "Pokemon" really good for our kids?!


Question: Is the show "Pokemon" really good for our kids!?
Note: This is more or less just a joke, but hear me out!.!.!.

Ok, so a lot of kids are into Pokemon!. It's a cute show with all those cute-looking creatures!. The story is (I guess) interesting though very simple: Gotta catch 'em all!

However, is it much darker than it appears!?

1!. You have people catching and imprisoning poor defenseless animals from their natural habitat in way too small "cages," i!.e!. the Pokeballs!.
2!. People engage in battles with their animals, which (to me) resemble our dog fights, etc!.
3!. You have kids leaving home, as young as 10, on their own without any parental or adult supervision!.
4!. The female kids on the show are often portrayed in very small, skimpy-ish clothing, e!.g!. booty shorts, high high skirts, etc!.
5!. One of the protagonists is a womanizer!.

So is this initially innocent-looking cartoon really good for our kids!? Lol (It's a joke, people!. Hopefully no one takes me too seriously! I'm curious as to what you all think!?)Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Lmao! When you break it down like that, it does make you think!. I watched it religiously between the ages of 10ish and 12ish, and I must admit thinking back, I was kinda confused at the idea of these young kids roaming around completely alone with no fear!. I came to the conclusion that Pokemon is set on a different planet, similar to ours but also different in so many ways!.

This question actually really did make me laugh, here's a star!

3!. It is so that kids can connect with the characters a little more!.
4!.Wow, their legs are shown a little more but thats about it, besides, children don't pay attention to that!.
5!.It is to add a little more laughing into the mix!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

it is a great show for kids becasue it teachs them how to survive in the real world, without pokemon our world would be in ruins and team rocket would rule the earthWww@Enter-QA@Com

lol!. I see what you're saying about the young girls and the leaving home part!. But they're not really weak and defenceless!. Some can electrocute you, set you on fire, freeze you, poison you!. lol!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't know, who can really tell!. Most disney movies have sick subliminal messages!. Like in alladin!.!.!. on the balcony scene!.!.!.if you listen carefully "good teenagers take off there clothes"!.!.!.not wonder my generations is so messed up!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I'd never thought about that before!. I was watching Poke`mon every day growing up!. This is quite interesting to think about!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

To be honest, I heard Michael Vick endorsed Pokemon after seeing two dog looking pokemon fight each other!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I still think of it when I'm eating out of the garbage!. If it weren't for pokemon, I wouldn't be who I am today!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i love pokemon!!
i think the message is great!!!
no but really!.!.!.!.you have a point!. :/Www@Enter-QA@Com

Epic loss!.

My verdict: I'd rather have my kids watching pokémon than Teletubbies!. Nuff said!.
Epic scenes like this made oldschool Pokémon so great!. Too bad they toned down the show so much after Johto!. :(Www@Enter-QA@Com

1!. They are in no way defenseless- all Pokemon have attacks of some kind!. Well, except for Magikarp!.!.!. but he's special!.
2!. It's more like cock fighting, only with magical powers!. And the Pokemon like it- ask them!.
3!. They don't have to leave alone!. They can go with friends if they want to!. Besides, they made the choice of wanting to be a trainer in the first place!.
4!. It's anime- all females dress like that!. That, and jailbait sells!.
5!. Who, Takeshi/Brock!? He's not very good at it, it's more like harmless flirting!. Although sometimes he can get kinda creepy!.

I'm more concerned with kids wanting to follow Satoshi/Ash's example!. The kid's a moronic crack baby!.

@Gata de Barrio: Been spending time on Pokemopolis, have you!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well people will find anything to complain about!. Not necessarily saying you but people are crazy and just take it too far!. Now a days everything is bad!. I was watching the news not too long ago and some lady was trying to band Sesame St due to "Big Bird must be high on drugs because he is the only one that seen the brown elephant(forgot his name)" I think that is just stupid and some of these moms need to get off their a$$ and go to work!. Because they are staying at home boared and blowing things out of proportion cause they have nothing else to do!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

think of it on the bright side
the kids r still small they wont take that pokemon animation too seriously
they will jus think pokemon is cool n stuff!.!.!.!. they wont think of it like its sumthin dat can resemble sumthin bad!.!.!.!.!. they will think the pokemons can fight!.!.!.!.they r so strong!.!.!. they r cool!.!.!.
btw the pokemons dont hav bad language in it they never rly do or say anythi bad at all!.!.!. \
about the womanizer!.!.!.ppl in pokemon dont do dat itz mostly about pokemons fightin!.!.!. so nuttin to worry about!.!.!.
datz wat happened with my sis about the barbies!.!.!.!.!.lol
n dont forget if ur kids r happy watchin pokemons i think u should let them watch it cuz datz wat counts! (only if they dont teach anythin bad)Www@Enter-QA@Com
