I saw that, it doesn't offend me in any way, I like Pokemon. But do you guys feel insult of this? If so, then please post here and discuss with each other (EXCLUDING ME).

Good Night and see y'all.

I have always found this to be a strange subject. Pokemon is in no way racist or offensive in any way. Any time someone brings it up, it turns out to just be a coincidence in design with no real intention of bringing anything up. For example, Jynx is not based around insulting racial stereotypes, but instead honoring them. (That and she is based on a witch in a japanese story)
The only real compelling argument about Pokemon is the violence, pitting small creatures against each other for personal gain like money. However in Pokemon Black and White the answer came from N, who found that the Pokemon do it because they want to defend their trainers in an act of friendship.

yeah I don't find Pokémon meant to be offensive, racist at all. Tails is right it is just coincidental, and it just causes a lot of dispute. And all those guys and Jessie and James with their hands up is just a coincidence and it shouldn't be taken like this in such an extreme manner. I don't feel any kind of insult from this, and I don't think Jynx or any other Pokémon represent racial discrimination or anything like that.

Razor-987 : I know the reason is I hate Bulbapedia

EDIT- I'm not a Christian so I don't feel bad for it. It's okay for me I love Japan. But I just found out that there were Christian Controversies so I posted it here for you guys to Discuss.

Honestly, if you want to, you can find satanism, racism, hidden biblical references, etc, in ANYTHING. If that is what you are looking for, you can and will find it. For example, I know a guy who boycotted Finding Nemo because it was trying to imprint Christian stories on kids. here is the list he came up with. Nemo was a clear representation of the Prodigal Son in how he longed to be away from the lifestyle his father put on him. Another 'message' was how Marlin's overprotective parenting due to his wife's and other kids' death was a stray from the correct path of parenting. This was apparently the message of how you can't stray from the teaching of God because a traumatic event shakes your faith. This is just a couple of examples this guy gave. You can find controversy in anything if you make the choice (either consciously or subconsciously) to find it. This is no different.
