Line 107:
** They plan to "save" the Pokémon by creating separate worlds for them. Not just Christian radicals, but an [[Animal Wrongs Group]].
** And if that wasn't offensive enough, {{spoiler|Team Plasma - the team based on the Christian church - turns out to be a scam set up by its leader so he can become the most powerful Pokemon trainer in the world once everyone else is powerless. Not helped in that Ghetsis's robes make him look a bit like [[The Pope]].}}
** Also, the one guy who can actually talk to Pokémon sides with Team Plasma, but they're still shown as being wrong. Basically in order to progress in the game you have to ignore your best source of information on what Pokémon actually want. To help you feel better about this you keep running into trainers saying they love their Pokémon and would never want to hurt them. So, if you have power over people don't bother asking them what they think of how you treat them, as long as you mean well you must be doing fine. Somewhat mitigated when N later reveals that {{spoiler|the player character's Pokémon said that they wanted to be with the player character the first time they met N, and other trainer's Pokémon have been saying similar things}} but the player character had no way of knowing this until they're pretty far into fighting Team Plasma.
** Also, the games in general have been accused of "encouraging" animal abuse by pointing out similarities between Pokemon battles and "cockfighting"/"dog fighting".
** Jynx is currently the ''only'' Pokemon who's physical appearance was changed because of this. Originally, she looked like [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e1/Lorelei_Jynx.png this.] Naturally, this caused many people to compare her design to that of "Blackface" . Nintendo soon redesigned Jynx's appearance so now it looks like [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/ae/Jynx_anime.png this.]
