PETA has launched a brand new flash game for concerned animal lovers to check out. Capitalizing on the release of Pokemon Black and White 2 to spread its message, the group has released Pokemon Black and Blue, in which users take on the role of abused Pokemon as they fight to free themselves from their trainers.
The game features Pikachu, Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott, but Pokefans may not immediately recognize them because they’re a lot more battered and bruised than we’re used to seeing them.
A bandaged and bloodied Pikachu, for instance, sports a chain around his neck and has a chunk missing from one of his ears, while Tepig is missing his ears altogether. Snivy has a syringe jutting out of his head and a tag on his tail, and Oshawott has been clearly skinned alive. In other words, it’s probably not the best idea to let your kids around Pokemon Black and Blue if the series is one of their favorite things.
