SAY NO TO SILPH CO.

I personally can’t get behind this action group. Without Silph Co. we’d have no pokéballs, and without pokeballs I’d have to go back to enslaving my pets the old fashioned way (with sticks, whips and shock collars)
I just can’t go back to that after years of convenient, hassle free slavery tools!

    So, they want highly dangerous Pokemon roaming the streets, unrestrained by a trainer, giving them a wonderful opportunity to destroy life as we know it?

    We all saw what happened when that Charizard turned on it's trainer……..

  5. Illius_Nakarou on October 19th, 2010 9:10 am

    Yeah! who cares if their technology can see ghosts and an employee gives you a free lapras
    free the pokemon!!!

    Come to think of it, I always wondered how Pokeballs instantly transform raging elemental animals, whose sole objective is either to destroy all your pokemon or run like hell, into your willing and obedient slaves.

  8. Caelun_Niveus on October 19th, 2010 9:21 am

    Silph CO. is illegal anyway. WHO makes all the Pokeballs in the world? I thought monolipies were no longer allowed.

  9. Neentendow on October 19th, 2010 9:23 am

    OBJECTION!
    You can ban Silph Co. and still catch pokemon using Kurt's apricorn balls!

    ya know what we do with animals when they are raging and out of control? we taze, tranq, or kill them… pokeballs are actually the humane solution… unless inside the pokeball is filled with tazers and tranquilizers…

    Quite the witty rebuttal, my dear boy.

  21. Darth_Destro on October 19th, 2010 10:08 am

    I, for one, feel safer at night knowing that these dangerous creatures are tightly confined in their pokeballs, in the posession of 10 year olds, instead of roaming in the tall grass outside my house.

  22. _Twitch_ on October 19th, 2010 10:19 am

    kurt's apricorn balls save them from that mumbo jumbo ;D

  23. Fearow on October 19th, 2010 10:28 am

    Victory! Something I submitted has finally been uploaded! Also, this might become a shirt if it gets enough positive votes on J!nx.

  24. Dimomarg on October 19th, 2010 10:48 am

    Right, first everyone is grateful because pokéballs provide pokemon with better living conditions than shock collars and whips, then everyone wants to go back. We're all just a bunch of sadist fucks.

  25. LegomancerLv100 on October 19th, 2010 10:58 am

  27. DarthShadow91 on October 19th, 2010 11:13 am

    I believe that Devon Co. also makes Pokeballs.

  28. Missinko009 on October 19th, 2010 11:24 am

    Yeah, but they make cheap ass rehashes.

    "The Devon Corporation also developed a process to revive Pokémon from fossils. It can be assumed that this process developed independently of the one at Cinnabar Island's Labs and the one done in the Sinnoh region. (We all know they stole it, they just happen to develop the exact same method a couple years after Silph Co. goes public, yeah right)"

    Some of the products that Devon Co. has made:

    The Pokémon Speaker: allows communication with Pokémon. (We can already communicate with Pokémon just fine, when you say "Charmander use Scratch!" Charmander uses Scratch, what else do you want to say? "What do you think of the new Toyota?

    The Pokémon Transformator: turns people into Pokémon.
    (Totally did not steal that from Bill. Nope.)

  • BoxeyBrown on October 19th, 2010 1:15 pm

    But without Silph Co, who will make us master balls?

  • Axel_X on October 19th, 2010 1:16 pm

    Don't you people know anything about the economy?! If you get rid of Silph Co. you'll be forcing a lot of people out of their jobs. And I don't mean just Silph Co. employees, I mean Pokemon Trainers, Gym Leaders, heck even the Elite Four groups and Champions.

    And don't get me started on the Poke Marts. A pokeball is easier to purchase than a bottle of lemon aid at a vending machine!

    In short, you'd fuck up the entire world.

    ….then again maybe we shouldn't trust 10 year olds to have the powers of God, Time, Space, the elements, etc. at their fingertips…

  • UndeadLex on October 19th, 2010 1:28 pm

    How is it INSTITUTIONAL imprisonment?
    Pokemon trainers aren't part of some university.
    Nor do they go to school, as far as I can tell.
    They just run around in grass and go to gyms.
    Hang out in caves, by lakes, and in fog until another trainer comes by.
    They are hardly organized and aren't orderly nor governmental.

    If it is, in fact, referring to a metal hospital institution.
    And therefore is considering the pokeball itself an institution, then why aren't they getting treatment for their mental sickness?
    They're just cooped up in solitary confinement until they're released blindly onto the battle field and recalled the moment of victory or defeat.
    That's hardly rehabilitating.

    Or maybe they just already bought the rights for the name CAIS and couldn't think of what to use the I for.
    Institutional is just the wrong word.
    They need to rethink their name.

  • supreme_slayer on October 19th, 2010 5:39 pm

    I don't know… I'm on the fence with this. While Silph Co. has done some terrible things, they also created the Silph Scope and plenty of useful devices in our world. I can't rightfully call them bad. And even without this, when does our own reasoning come into play here? They just make the stuff, but WE use it.

    Only some pokemon are animal like. Pokemon like Bidoof, ratatta, and magikarp are more or less animals with little capacity for self awareness. However, there is a largwer population of "great 'mons" that have mental capacities similar to humans, like Gardevoir, Absol, any given legendary, and milotic. Oddly enough, in Diamond and pearl, there is a history section that stated that those pokemon were considered just other people. it even mentions intermarriage. so yeah… I'm surprised there aren't cells of pokemon revolutionaries bombing trade caravans and the like.
