Yeah, what about the rights of the digital organisms, who's looking out for them?

They're promoting inappropriate displays of affection amongst children. They'll be scarred forever.

I thought Pokemon was a show about capturing and enslaving creatures and forcing them to fight in gladiatorial combats. What's unsavoury about that?

I agree THAC0, if they want children to truly grow up to wish to enslave all the lesser beings of the world, they should really hug less. Lord, I like to think of it more like being a wizard with multiple familiars. Each pokeball is actually a pocket dimension built and created by the psyche of the pokemon. It's much nicer then.
