… so chimpokomon from southpark?
China has no ground to stand on when it comes to aggressive nationalism. They are trying to claim a whole ocean. Their fishing vessels attack florigen fishing vessels that are near their homes. What a load of manure.
Tell me you haven’t watched all 1186 episodes of Detective Conan without telling me you haven’t watched all 1186 episodes of Detective Conan.
lolwat
Niether of those even have militaristic… Anything.
The article introduced by OP overlooks a crucial fact regarding the description of the event held at Yasukuni Shrine.
According to an official statement from The Pokémon Company, the event in question was organized by “an individual certified for the Pokémon Trading Card Game,” and the company stated that this was mistakenly posted on its official website due to insufficient verification.
イベント告知に関するお詫び｜株式会社ポケモン｜The Pokémon Company
This was therefore a prank perpetrated by a malicious individual. It is incorrect to assume this event was officially organized by The Pokémon Company.
Detective Conan? I think Team Coco is taking the whole “branching out” thing TOO far now!
AKA “Case Closed,” here in the US.
I would no lie watch the fuck out of that concept
He’s too tall for that.
I want a Pokémon army
My Spinda breeding continues apace.
I want a Pokémon army
Pokémon Adventures manga, Kanto arc.
Adventures is cited by Satoshi Ken as being the closest adaptation to how he imagined Pokémon when he first came up with them. At the end of the Kanto arc, the OG Elite 4 try to take over the region with armies of their type Pokémon, and the gym leaders spearhead the resistance while Red and Blue (Ash and Gary, respectively) fight Lance.
That’s awesome!
That sounds bad ass. Why couldn’t we’ve gotten a tv adaptation of that? I want a dark Pokémon cartoon
It’s less kid-friendly and less profitable. Pokemon has been printing money for Nintendo for decades.
It’s fucking intense! During the Fire Red/Leaf Green arcs, Red (Ash) uses Mewtwo in a showdown against Giovanni and Deoxis. I think I stopped reading around the end of the Diamond/Pearl arc, and Diamond (the boy I think) teaches his Torterra how to use Razor Leaf to shoot a single leaf as accurate as a sniper!
And in the Lavender Town ghost tower, they fight actual zombified dead Pokémon. Or maybe it was an illusion? Been a while, guess it’s time for a reread.
Yup. Just ordered the set for the first 7. I’m stoked for this.
South Park made an episode about this called Chinpokomon.
Nobody tell them about GATE then …
Incidents mentioned:
The article referenced recent controversies around the popular anime series Pokemon, Detective Conan and My Hero Academia, saying that “the evil influence of Japanese militarism lives on in sports and culture.”
Last month, a Pokemon card game event that was scheduled at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo for Jan. 31 was canceled after Chinese backlash.
The shrine commemorates the 2.5 million Japanese soldiers who died in war, including 30,304 Taiwanese.
Countries that were targets of Japanese aggression, especially China and the Koreas, see visits to the shrine as a lack of remorse about Japan’s wartime past.
China condemned the Pokemon Co for holding an event at a shrine, with the People’s Daily saying that enterprises “must not make light of the heavy weight of history in the name of entertainment.”
The article also condemned table tennis player Tomokazu Harimoto for praying at the Togo Shrine, which is dedicated to Togo Heihachiro, an admiral in the First Sino-Japanese War who China sees as a pioneer of Japanese militarist expansionism.
It also referenced the Japanese boy band Rampage, whose choreography was previously criticized for resembling the Nazi salute.
Is modern Japan militaristic at at least some tiny extent?
No but they are getting scared of North Korea and a bit of China and they are talking about expanding their defensive military to be less defensive and they’re learning that the US is a useless ally for that.
So yes they’re voting full far right now.
Have you seen the Gundam they been printing
