Pokemon IS Communism :O

At first glance, it seems like an innocent childs game, what with the imaginary creatures and such, and child friendly characters and plot.  HOWEVER, it is showcasing the teachings of Karl Marx, in that everyone is equal and should be treated equally, and must eliminate those who wish to be stronger than the people, IE Big Business.  Don't believe me?  I have a few tidbits of information that'll change your mind forever!

1.  Just as you start the game, you are advised to raise your Pokemon equally, and have different types.  In "Ideal" Communism, everyone is treated equally and are spared of private property (Items Pokemon can use), as the government (the Trainer) has control over private property.  Different types means the different classes of the working class, like workers, farmers, street sweepers, etc., and they have to stick together in order for everyone to be happy.

2.  There is only ONE supplier of goods in this game, and it is Silph Co.  They represent the government's assembly lines of various goods the people (Pokemon) could use, ironically, they can only use a handfull (restriction of private property).

3.  All of the regions are connected with a railroad, compared with the Soviet Union's Railroad.

4.  In the cemetery, there many dead Pokemon, similar to Stalin's "Purging" plan that killed most of the people.

5.  There are also a lot of police officers, who could be compared to Stalin's "Secret Police".

6.  Team Rocket (or whatever the hell they are) represents Capitalism, as they want to sell Pokemon for profit and to carry out their plans, compared to cheap labor.  Once you defeat their boss, they dissapear and the people are happy.  This was the original goal of Communism; to eliminate greed and discrimination.

7.  The trainer depends on his or her Pokemon to carry out his or her tasks, such as being a floatation device or to move rocks, much like how people are supposed to help each other and the government.

8.  They included an option for the player to be female, as in Communism, everyone has the same rights, no matter their sex or ethnicity.

9.  The character is only limited to saying "Yes" or "No", which could be compared to the people's lack of freedom of speech.

10.  I've just heard that you can customize your character in the newest Pokemon game, Pokemon Battle Colloseum, but, like Communism, are limited to what you can edit.

11.  In Diamond/Pearl, the TV keeps track of everything you do, which could be compared to how the Soviet Union kept a close eye on its people.

So, bassically, every time a person buys Pokemon, they are bringing about the imminent demise of our freedom, so please!  Make Pokemon illegal!  Sign my pettition!  All we need is a million signatiures, and our freedom will be safe!

God bless America!
