It's more like a Mexican standoff between the BCTG and the hedge funds that have been pouring junk-bond money into Hostess the past few years, and the hedge funds shot first.
Yes, and it looks like they finally killed the golden goose and are now going to end up unemployed. Good job, and considering how a lot of Hostess is centered around Texas, good luck finding another job that will tolerate unions -- Texas doesn't let them run unchecked around here like they do in the northern states.
Trust me when I say the games go out of their way to show that the creatures are perfectly willing to fight, and that in addition battling them is basically a sport IIRC.

Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
One of the most embarrassing things my mother suffered was my dad would attend cockfights, as where we lived was like one of the few places in America where that shit was still legal (because the Hispanic population was whining BUT IT'S OUR HERITAAAAAAAAAGE.) It was only until recently that it became completely illegal which is pretty sad that it took this long.
Like I said, Kexruct, I know it's cartoon violence and all but at its most basic, you're still pitting two creatures to fight.

Not in Red/Blue.
Which part?
The part about creatures willingly to fight and that battling is a sport.

Now to see my notifications I have to swipe from the left half of the screen's top edge; if I swipe from the right half I'll get a little menu thing instead.

It's weird, they obviously intend for you to use a photo of yourself, but nobody I know likes their own face enough to want to see it every time they use their mobile device....

More shit that irritates the Corporal: No. You did not earn the title simply by being married. Slumming at the Lance Corporal ghetto on base is not a "sacrifice." You pay no sales tax. You get free housing. You get free food. You get free medical and dental care. You do not wake up at zero dark stupid to run around a base in shorts in balls-freezing weather. You do not get deployed for months away from everyone in a part of the world most Americans can't find on a fucking map. You are not a Marine. Fuck you.

I don't think anybody really likes looking at their own face.

Kind of late for this, I know ( I had accidentally logged and didn't see the new posts) but literally every single game in the series is abou the bond between the creature its master. The plots almost never revolve around violence.
To compare it to cockfighting it would be to miss the point of the entire series.
In B&W 2 Ghetsis actually attempts to kill the main character.
But other than that (*and the Marowak ghost in R&B*) that's the only time I can think of death being involved in the series.
And yeah, the games do revolve heavily on the power of friendship between trainers and pokemon.
There's also the implied death of your rival's Raticate in the first game, but that's not entirely canon, and the player had nothing to do with it anyway.
In any case, I'd be totally against Pokemon training if it were real, but the thing is that it's not, so I'm not.

I'll be honest
I've never seen pokemon that much different from cockfighting or dogfighting. It's basically the same thing
no
but it's one trainer pitting an animal against another
I know it's cartoon violence at worst but I've always found it strange

I did actually play Pokemon when I was just started big school.

Dude, fucking hivemind.
We even worded it the same way.
