    I believe pokemon fighting should be banned. After seeing my brother level up his Blastoise to level 100 I saw him pick up a water gun and go outside to squirt some friends with it. This has got the kid to have fun with water and start going fun to enjoy the topics and interesting things he found in the game that he very much enjoys. I had already given him MW3 and have fixed any problems he'll have with being a bad child. MW3 is so much better and a classic anyways.

    1I think this is a good debate so Im going to say my opinions here. I think Pokemon shouldn’t fight because it may encourage younger audiences (for example, four year olds) to fight with others. Think about if two imaginative eight year olds (I mean children ranging from 5 – 8 play pretend sward fighting and things like that) played outside and one of the decided to play Pokemon. While battling as Pokemon, Possibly one of the children could get injured if one child punches the other. As we see in the Pokemon episodes its all about fighting and in the very first episode Ash is watching two Pokemon fight. This is encouraging violence. However it not just Pokemon games and series that involves fighting. There are war games like MW, call of duty and other violent games that are based on killing others. The good thing about these fighting games is that they faint and can be recovered at the end of a battle/war. However children aren’t realising that in real life if they shoot there friend with a machine gun, they wont come back alive. On the other hand, Pokemon has been successful and therefore there is no reason it should be banned now. 15 year running and nobody as urgently complained at the fighting. Pokemon Blue, Red, Green, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Gold, Silver, Yellow, Pearl, Diamond, Platinum, white, black, white 2, black 2 X and Y (and so on) have been super successful in the past eighteen years and nobody has really complained. To sort this solution I think, like they have done on some Pokemon games, there should be an age limit on different games and Tv series. Thanks for reading, Flaaffy180
