| Activist Activities Are you
ready to take a stand against the cruelty humans
inflict upon Pokemon? Here are some suggestions,
but, uh, don't tell anyone you got the less legal
ones from us.
Protesting
the use of inhumane storage devices
To
discourage the use of Pokeballs and data boxes,
there are many methods to try.
- Boycott stores which
sell Pokeballs. Odds are good
that there's one in your town. Organize a
picket line outside the store, to let
people know before they shop there, that
the establishment supports Pokemon abuse.
Put up posters and pass out leaflets
explaining that the offending store
encourages people to stuff their pets
into tortuously small containers.
- Hold community
awareness meetings. A good rally
is always helpful to muster support. Many
good people simply never think about the
plight of Pokemon. Once made aware of
their situation, many will join your
cause. Note: Naturally, this tactic can
be used for other Pokemon issues as well,
but it might be good to only tackle one
problem at a time. It may be advisable to
hold separate rallies to talk about
Pokeballs, battles, forced evolution,
etc.
- Become a data box
hacker. You didn't hear this one
from us, okay? Numerous people have tried
to hack into Bill's computer, to release
the thousands of Pokemon trapped inside,
but few have had much success. The
Pokemon stored within are on individual
accounts for each trainer, so it's much
easier to hack into the separate accounts
than to release them all. Many trainers
still use stupid passcodes, like their
birthday or even their Pokemon's names,
to guard their accounts. If you can
manage to log into any of their accounts,
just select "Release Outside"
from the menu, and the world will be a
better place for a few very grateful
creatures.
Protesting
Pokemon Battles and Tournaments
It's
truly a shame how many people see no problem in
capturing Pokemon and forcing them to fight.
Here's how to open their eyes.
- Boycott the Pokemon
League. Pokemon league products
are sold everywhere. Don't buy them, or
shop at stores that sell them. Again,
hold picket lines, outside Pokemon
"Gyms." Sing songs and repeat
chants.
- Set up public
displays to increase awareness.
Outside of Pokecenters or in town square
if possible, put up monuments to grab
attention. Be creative. Try little
tombstones or crosses with a plaque
reading, "In memory of the Pokemon
who lost their lives in forced
battles."
- Create Petitions.
Unfortunately, although petitions to
outlaw Pokemon battles have come before
our nation's government before, we don't
currently have enough members supporting
such measures to pass such a law. Still,
petitions are a good way to get public
attention. Plus, petitions to individual
stores, politely asking them to stop
selling Pokemon battle products, have
occasionally been successful.
- Pokeball sabotage.
Another idea that, um, P.E.T.P.I.K.A. is
not officially endorsing. Not that we're
discouraging it. Some clever individuals
have sometimes been successful at
infiltrating the warehouses of the
Pokemon League, and tampering with the
Pokeballs before they get shipped. As a
result, numerous Pokeballs are
intentionally defective and will never
catch a Pokemon. A lot of stupid trainers
think that the reason they have so much
trouble catching Pokemon is because the
Pokemon are strong enough to escape the
balls. The fools! If only they knew how
many of the balls were duds. Anyhow, this
may not change any laws, but it'll help
prevent a lot of innocent Pokemon from
being captured.
By
now, you've probably got some ideas of your own
for protesting Pokemon injustices. If you have
any suggestions, feel free to mail them to
us.
Now
get out there and make the world a better place
for our beloved creatures. Be the voice for those
can say nothing but their name.
