  apparently someone on vdex contacted nintendo about this and got this as a response
  
  

  "Hello,
  
  Thank you for bringing this incident to our attention, and sharing your concerns with us. Nintendo takes the inappropriate use of its products and intellectual property seriously. Nintendo is not affiliated with PETA or with the game they have created.
  
  For the latest news and information on upcoming Nintendo products, please keep an eye on our website (http://www.nintendo.com).
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Crystal L. Odam
  Nintendo of America Inc."
  

  
  
  he also contacted PETA about this and got this bot message
  

  "This game offers a lighthearted way to bring attention to the very serious
  subject of cruelty to animals. The game’s main message is that animals are not
  ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other
  way. PETA’s game allows Pikachu and his friends the opportunity to spread the
  message of Pokémon rights by sharing PETA’s video “Free Me” (http://www.PETA.org/tv/videos/animal-ex ... 08001.aspx),
  which takes viewers on a heartbreaking journey through the horrors of using
  animals for food, clothing, experimentation, and entertainment."

  can't believe it took this long from all the press over the flash game
  It would be nice for them to take on PETA, especially since PETA is tax exempt

  Not that I don't want PETA to go down of course but isn't there free use for parodies?

  It is IF you don't use copyrighted names and material.
  Since almost everything they used is copyrighted, Nintendo can sue their pants off, and win.

  plus nintendo can also say this is defamation.

  Oh, then I hope they sue and win.

  I think the people who made the game don't really care about animals, and are actually part of a group that infiltrates PETA and intentionally makes it look retarded.

  ...what could they possibly gain by suing PETA?

  Money? And the plus of possibly killing PETA. We can dream can't we?

  PETA has money? Also, even if you technically kill it...won't it just come back under a new name?

  Honestly, PETA has defamed all of Nintendo's games that are popular as of now. So the Pokemon game and Cooking Mama game are gonna be targeted.

  God that cooking mama was hilarious. Those games are really out to alienate people.
