Houndour (Number 228) A hound dog Pokémon of Dark and Fire types. Granbull (Number 210) The development of Snubbull. Snubbull (Number 209) A Bulldog pup of Fairy kind. Umbreon (197) An evolved Eevee of Dark kind. Though there are attacks like “protest” and “group hug,” the player still can’t win a battle without using violent attacks. Espeon (196) An evolved Eevee of Psychic kind. Their extremist ideals run rampant throughout the game, and as usual, the message is very hypocritical - kill humans, save the animals. Of course, if you play through the entirety of their satire, you’ll notice that they lose any good graces they might’ve built up by addressing one of the seedier and rarely discussed themes ( Pokémon being dog fighting) in video games. Also, be careful if you play through PETA’s Pokémon rebuttal, because it spoils the twist in the first Black and White.Įven though PETA is regularly misguided and takes their beliefs to an extreme, they’re actually more correct than usual this time around, as Pokémon is pretty much a game that promotes something very similar to dog fighting. The game also makes some Mudkip jokes, because even PETA can’t avoid it. When you win a battle, you’ll occasionally come across loot, from disturbing and depressing PETA videos, to wallpaper for your desktop. Each pocket monster has some of their signature attacks, then some PETA attacks, such as “group hug,” and “protest,” which seem to largely be debuffs. You battle demented trainers, rather than other Pokémon, some of which “faint,” others of which realize the error of their ways and release their captive Pokémon to your party. In PETA’s version of the game, which you can play here, you take control of liberated Pokémon, including Pikachu, Tepig, and Snivy.
