Hello!
Japan has its own attitude to animals. Insect-Fightings for example, where arthropods like insects, spiders, scorpions or crabs are fighting against each other till one of them die, are very common. Fish- and Cockfightings are also pretty common in asia, but the government trying to ban them. But there are these traditional japanese dog fights. The Tosa-Inu-Fightings! That's like sumo wrestling with dogs. The dogs are not allowed to bite or kill each other.
As you can see japan has an other attitude to animal fightings than america and europe. (Except England perhaps. Before dog fighting was outlawed there it was a glorious sport where you earn enough money to live, nearly like in the world of Pokémon.)
Do you think it's right to let Pokémon fight and suffer for fun and money? Would you like to be a Pokémon without free live, who must obey his/her trainer? Is Pokémon a kind of harmless animal fightings? Please let me know what do you think!
Thank you for your answers and sorry for my bad english!
