Has anybody heard of the Lavender Town syndrome, as related to Gen 1 Pokemon games?: http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/2679/how-true-is-the-lavender-town-syndrome

Should we be describing/debunking very popular urban myths like that one? Nullahnung (talk) 05:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah, good old Lavender Town. I would say that it would be on mission pertaining to audio woo; there's nothing particularly dangerous about binaural beats except for the risk of seizure (for epileptics). Osaka Sun (talk) 05:54, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Don't you mean creepy old Lavender Town, Osaka?  :-) Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 05:55, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
I'll stick with the Gold/Silver version, thanks. Osaka Sun (talk) 06:11, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit] PETA

"And, for some reason, PETA has had no issue over a game where wild creatures are captured and forced to battle. They then released a "parody" game on the day of release of Black 2 and White 2, proving again that they don't do any research."

Research about what?--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 06:00, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Their parody suggests that characters don't care about the wellbeing of their Pokemon, but in fact the player characters all do, and only villains are shown not caring for their Pokemon. To someone who's played G5 games, the PETA parody is obviously uninformed. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 06:03, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Oh.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 06:05, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
You know, I think I'll add that to the article. It's certainly not clear as it stands now. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 06:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Psychics are real in Pokemon

Are we not going to address that, in the world of Pokemon, Ghosts, Psychics, and gods are real and verifiable? — Unsigned, by: 99.169.227.71 / talk / contribs

It is a fictional universe, therefore no. Nullahnung (talk) 08:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Wait, what?! Fiction?! My worldview is crumbling. 208.29.163.248 (talk) 10:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Ignore Nullahnung's lies, POKEMON ARE REAL. Otherwise how do you explain this CONCLUSIVE VIDEO EVIDENCE???? Wehpudicabok [話] [変] [留] 11:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

That video is obviously faked. By the Nixon administration. Directed by Kubrick. Duh! I thought this was RATIONALwiki! 208.29.163.248 (talk) 11:27, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
