And they rejected their proposal. What a wild.

EDIT:

Another better source:

There are many things on this board that don't deserve their own thread.

This is not one of those things. This is freakin' hilarious

Aaronrules380 · Jul 9, 2020

Thank god they refused. Honestly it sucks how much stuff in that era was ruined for western audiences because of these types of shitty opinions

Spork4000 · Jul 9, 2020

Well....that's surprising.

Einbroch · Jul 9, 2020

I eagerly await the upcoming fanart.

Slamtastic · Jul 9, 2020

this was when we split into the dark timeline

Chaos2Frozen · Jul 9, 2020

The 90s huh...

Deleted member 420 · Jul 9, 2020

That's a joke post, click the Youtube link

Platy · Jul 9, 2020

Me every time i hear a "but you see this game can't be objectifying because the artist is a woman" i think of stuff like this

edit: joke or not, this shit is way too common =P

WestEgg · Jul 9, 2020

Me-ow!

chanman · Jul 9, 2020

Uh...what I'm trying to imagine what this would even look like after being so use to Pikachu's design now.

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Jul 9, 2020

What a fucking weird thread/tweet, this is a link to a video of Republicans talking about how liberals actually hate black voters and thus black voters should vote GOP.

Kinsei · Jul 9, 2020

They already did back in Newsground years ago. I would insert a gif here but it's too "lewd" for this forum. I just simply don't want to get banned, lol.

Yuntu · Jul 9, 2020

I do not believe that for a second.

Edit: Well duh shouldve clicked the YT link before responding.

EvilChameleon · Jul 9, 2020

Well done OP, looks like you played yourself.

KillstealWolf · Jul 9, 2020

Now imagine Landorus-Therian with Large Breasts

"Blessed by the genies of healthy meta" takes on a rather different meaning then...

COSMEFULANITO · Jul 9, 2020

America and Europe had a weird understanding of anime in the 90s, remember those rock and roll openings?

Deleted member 5621 · Jul 9, 2020

Cowards.

Euron · Jul 9, 2020

What...what in the fuck is that YouTube link?

Oh wow. I really thought the tweet was making up bullshit to make people watch a Fox News thing

milkyway · Jul 9, 2020

Thank you Gamefreak for not interfering with my sexual development

until Gardevoir

that was a joke I promise

Lexad · Jul 9, 2020

..Did you even click that link? Why would you link that here?

NoName999 · Jul 9, 2020

So Digimon then? lol

I was going to be so mad if someone hadn't posted this.

Symphony · Jul 9, 2020

Oh I'm sure the internet has already done that to Pikachu, probably somewhere on Deviantart.

Gold Arsene · Jul 9, 2020

Don't worry the internet took care of at least half of that.

Don't know about tiger Pikachu though.

But imagine how much more outrage parents would have from this!
Pokemon was already burned by churches as it was. This would have made it even bigger!

It is. The link in the tweet is wrong, but the DYKG video is in the thread.

Damn Silly · Jul 9, 2020

well I guess the proved that people will share anything

or shit, maybe it is real? i'm already confused

GearDraxon · Jul 9, 2020

A stunning case of when even the OP didn't read the OP

Deleted member 17210 · Jul 9, 2020

This sort of reminds me of SOA telling SOJ to ditch Sonic 1 having a human girlfriend, except in that case the US branch was right and listened to.

Tom Nook · Jul 9, 2020

The fuck?

Wow.

Jbone115 · Jul 9, 2020

If it's on the internet, it must be true.

WTF is that YouTube link.

Zombine · Jul 9, 2020

After seeing the Gardevoir fan art on google I'd say the US knows their furry market.

makonero · Jul 9, 2020

so...noa wanted it to be more like digimon. makes sense.

This site has reached true meta when the OP doesn't even read the OP

FormatCompatible · Jul 9, 2020

Oh OP...

samred · Jul 9, 2020

Can OP please kill that Tweet and use this instead:
