"The way that Pokemon are stuffed into pokeballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods," PETA claims.

In an attempt to save young minds who play the game, PETA has released a parody game called Pokemon Black and Blue: Gotta Free 'Em All which can be played on its site.

In other news, I was about to snag these bad boys from a thrift store this weekend when I realized I already own all three:

The organization says that much like animals in the real world, Pokemon are treated as unfeeling objects and used for human entertainment and as subjects in experiments.

Ash would be their posterboy.

Anyways, they better get their facts straight:

It should be noted that when I use official information, I have a priority list. Above anything else are official statements. Following that is information from the actual games. Below that is information from Pokemon Special (The creator of Pokemon himself stated that Special was how he thought of the Pokemon world). Finally, the anime sits at the bottom of the priority list, due to the twisting of facts it occasionally performs.

Now, on to the Pokeball. Here are the exact quotes from the Pokeball trophy entries in the Super Smash Brothers series.

The Melee entry:
208: Poké Ball [Pokémon Red & Blue]
"These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially
designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type."

The Brawl entry:
Poke Ball (Pokemon Red/Blue, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl)
An item used for capturing Pokemon and calling them out to battle. Pokemon
live in these items which, despite appearances, actually contain a wide,
comfortable, Pokemon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokemon give temporary support to whoever calls them out. You never know which Pokemon you'll get, but some of them are devastatingly powerful.

As these two entries quite clearly spell out, Pokeballs contain a wide, comfortable environment specifically designed to comfort whatever Pokemon is inside.

So by similar they mean completely unrelated in every way. Good info.
