    I get the appeal of collecting and evolving #Pokemon but the whole training your pets to fight thing is pretty unsettling to be honest.

        Too many similarities to dog fighting.

        I've spent the past two days collecting and evolving cute creatures in #PokémonGo but the goal is to fight with them? That's disturbing.

        That moral question was literally the plot of Pokemon Black & White from 2010.

        Didn't play it but I'm assuming the answer was "it's fine, they like it?" Otherwise no more multimillion dollar franchise.

        The conclusion was about partnership/friendship and becoming strong together, explaining that it's not slavery/exploitation.

        The creator of Pkmn made the games because kids in Japan like to catch insects and make them fight and he wanted to stop that

        That's terrifying considering someone in Japan created child sex dolls to combat pedophilia. Trend needs to die.

        If something sleeves you out but it works, would you prefer we do it and not tell you or do nothing at all?

        You're about 20 years behind. This has been the primary moral questioning thrown at the franchise since day 1.

        Doesn’t make the criticism any less valid. Besides a lot of new fans were not around for those older debates.

        It's less that it isn't valid and more that long-time fans have had to respond to it a few too many times and got impatient.

        also, of course no one wants again to be called like a psychopath, just for playing a game they can...
