Why You Should STOP Catching Pokémon! 

Wow! A very insightful comment Sparkist! I'm glad you enjoyed it, this was my first time doing anything like this-that is a more serious, essay style video-so I'm glad it turned out well for you! I've read your comment a couple times now, and for the most part, I agree with you. Pokemon really are the Pokemon universe's equivalent to real-world animals, and yes, Ash is a great person. That's why I made sure to highlight this in the video, especially his display of selflessness with the Charmander. Also, I liked your comparison between the Pokeball and Zoos. They really are similar; however, I don't think that justifies it. While Zoos are perhaps alright for animals with extremely limited brain power, they can become incredibly cruel for monkeys, octapus, dogs, pigs, etc. When you consider that Pokemon are actually incredibly smart-I mean look at Mewtwo, and even Meowth-I think that makes it even worse. These animals would not want to be subject to a prison, and yes, some people let them roam free, but not all. I think the main problem lies in the fact that, in this world, Pokemon are both Friend, and tool, but also commodity. You can make a comparison between the real world dog, which can also be both Friend and tool, but it is increased to the 10th degree in Pokemon. People don't typically collect 100s of dogs simply for the sake of collecting, do they? (I'd hope not!) Just like you said, the world is not a perfect place, and not everybody is like Ash. Unfortunately, the Pokeball just makes exploitation even easier for those with illl intentions. It can be used for good, but it is built on a foundation of manipulation and enslavement. Ash treats his Pokemon well, but I imagine he is in a relative minority. I think it makes it even worse when you consider that Pokemon are clearly more intelligent then our real-world animals. Like I said with Meowth, he has learned to speak, and Pikachu clearly displays a wide range of emotion. But anyways, I really like what you said, and I really like that we can have a discussion like this on a fictional topic like Pokemon! Can't do that with Hello Kitty! We can talk about Pokemon being slaves, but still I love the franchise all the same. I think it's funny to think that people can dig so deep into something that was created simply to mimic a guys hobby of bug-catching haha.

@@Witkomon honestly could not have agreed more, hope you'll do more of these some day! (Love that passive aggressive comment towards Hello Kitty haha :P)

LOL! I really enjoyed reading your comment, I also really liked that quote. Where did you get it? It sounds familiar. Like I said in the conclusion, I actually planned this video to have A LOT more, but after I wrote the script I realized I needed to cut out about 2/3 or it would be like an hour long lol. So if this video does well I'll definitely do another one!

@@Witkomon my quotes came from "The Dark Knight" and "Spider Man", says a lot when an old quote still reflects the world huh. Anyway, looking forward to your next video!

Who me?

Nah it's definitely @Witkomon

Hmm, maybe

Hmm, I’m not to sure about this. Pokémon are a copyright of Nintendo, so technically you would not be allowed to make money on them. Nintendo/The Pokémon Company would be well within their right to ask you to stop. That said, many people sell their own custom Pokémon cards, so as long as it’s on a relatively low volume, and you aren’t hurting Nintendo, it should be alright. Again, this isn’t legal advice lol. I’m not sure, I haven’t sold anything before, but I’m going off of what I’ve seen. I would say it’s okay to make your own Pokémon cards and sell them.

@@Witkomon ok tqsm 🥰 So I can sell now When my buisness start to expand ,at tht time I can take license/permission from them right ??

Those are nice cards! Keep them!

Ok! :D thanks for reply

Ahh! That's a big T-Rex!
