areaseven Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Several years ago, it triggered epileptic seizures among thousands of kids in Japan. But now, it's been revealed that Pokemon is far deadlier than we thought. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 THis has to be a joke right, if not maybe we should have warnings at the beginning of every POKEMON episode. *warning POKEMON has been proven to cause cancer, watch at your own risk* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingNor Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I wont' defend any of the shows mentiond (except digimon, which if you actually watch it has impressive story arcs and character development, really i was supprised) but the worst of the bunch is Yu-gee-OH! by far. that show is complete and un-compromising comercial garbage. i've even heard the players in the show mention how the cards they get are limited edition and available in only certain packs or something. i was like wtf?? i can't speak for season 3 and beyond but i was fairly impressed with digimons first two seasons, i stoped watching after that.

Knight26 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Why can't we have anime and cartoons in general that have the kids either be sideline characters that just pop up every once in a while, or where the kids are actually smart and not annoying? Remember the original transformers, Spike was actually pretty bright IIRC and was not at all whiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Payne Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Oh, OH: this from the AP: ROBOTECH causes insanity: NEW YORK (AP) Researchers at the Mayo Clinic announced yesterday that they have found that a defective gene found to be a trigger for cancer also can cause certain varieties of insanity. The research team, headed by Dr. Chris Takatoku of the Kansai Medical Institute, found irregularities in the so-called "POKEMON gene" thought to be a link to cancer. The POKEMON gene, recently discovered by researchers at Sloane-Kettering Medical Center, apparently further triggers the release of what Takatoku calls the Rolymase Boronoic Technoid enzyme, or ROBOTECH for short. This enzyme, when releasaed into the bloodstream, acts upon the brain, causing symptoms including delusions of grandeur, posessiveness, lapses of total breaks from reality and pathological lying. "The discovery of the ROBOTECH enzyme is a godsend to the mental health industry," Takatoku said in a prepared statement yesterday. "With the cause of such symptoms now in our grasp, a cure is no longer limited to indirect methods of treatment." When asked if his choice of name for the enzyme was influenced by anime, as was the POKEMON gene, Takatoku said "absolutely not. It was a coincidence. As an aside, I'd like to thank my trest subjects, Tommy Yune, Alan Letz and Carl Macek..." Edited January 28, 2005 by Pat Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
