What a case with Pokemon. Beware, pokemon: funny and accidents

Less than two weeks after the release of the game Pokémon Go, as the "civilized" world has swept, literally, hysteria. In the minds of the adherents of this game, reality is confused with virtuality. First of all, because this game is built on the principle of augmented reality. Each cracker considers it his duty to install it on his iPhone and happily go headlong into a new virtual surrogate for a day or two, or even immediately for a month. It is not surprising that the well-known “greatest thinker of our time” Navalny fit in for Pokemania, allowing himself to break away from Shuvalov's dogs for a while and accuse Russia of shooting down flight MH17 on the anniversary of this tragedy.

What is Pokémon Go, you can see in one of the many video reviews.

In short, using a smartphone camera, the player is involved in augmented reality. That is, you look with your own eyes - you see, for example, a trash can. And if through the smartphone screen with running game - some pokemon crawls out of this tank. And with the help of publicly available maps, developers bind virtual world to real, prompting the player to complete various tasks on the map. Catch some Pokemon, for example. In general, a waste of time for those who have nothing to do and who do not value their time.

Here are two tweets from the "greatest thinker" ():

About Pokemon. The reaction of a healthy person (company) against the reaction of a smoker (with a balloon) pic.twitter.com/N60o1mXYPB

Here Navalny contrasts the remark of the famous journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov with the new website of Sberbank, clearly hinting at the latter's "creativity".

I think about another “thinker”, and also the main downshifter of the country and the head of Sberbank, German Gref.

Gref, apparently, also between worries about the fate of the fatherland, has time to play Pokémon Go. Therefore, Sberbank has launched a new website, especially for gamers who are fans of this game:

The target audience of Pokémon is oversized children and teens. That is, adults who live with thoughts and images from their childhood.

How much the passion for Pokemon negatively affects the psyche can be judged by the news feeds:

American stabbed for asking about Pokemon

A resident of the American state of Oregon was stabbed for asking about Pokémon. This was reported by the KPTV channel.

25-year-old Michael Baker decided to take a walk in his area at 1 am to catch all the fantastic creatures in the area using the Pokemon Go app on his smartphone. At one of the intersections, he saw a man who, it seemed to him, was playing the same game. Baker asked him if he was catching Pokémon. In response, the man took out a knife and stabbed.

“I didn't expect, of course, it was fast. He just cut me and ran away, ”Baker said in an interview with the TV channel. The injury did not stop the player - he did not even seek medical attention. "It's important for me. I have to catch them all, ”he summed up.

New Yorkers wreak havoc after rare Pokemon hit Central Park

Some were in such a hurry to catch the Pokemon that they abandoned their cars with the engine running.
Twitter user Izzy Nobr posted a video on the Web of how crowds of Pokemon GO players rush to Central Park in New York to catch a rare Pokemon - Vaporeon.
According to the author of the video, the filming took place around midnight. However, despite such a late hour, dozens of people came to the park. Some were in such a hurry to catch the Pokemon that they abandoned their cars with the engine running.
Life

I think that a large number of plots of this kind, you can easily find yourself. The bottom line is that this game, like a virus, mentally infects people, and they lose touch with reality.

Let's go back to our rams ( "Why did you stand up like sheep, # @! ^^ # ^" - © Navalny).

Expressing sympathy for Gref and Sberbank, Navalny contrasts it with the following tweet from Vladimir Solovyov:

How many people outraged by the Yarovaya package, demanding anonymity on the Internet, signed up for Pokemon Go and leaked all information about themselves to Nintendo?

In short, the essence is as follows. The game was developed by the American company Niantic Labs, which was born in the bowels of Google, and later was released (although in fact it was co-owned by the same Google, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company). By installing and running the game, you accept the terms of the user agreement.

I consider it necessary to comment on this "product" of Kreakla thought.

With a grain of irony, this video blogger writes:

Once every hundred years in the West appears mobile game, which accidentally and of course unexpectedly for the creators protects family values \u200b\u200band raises spiritual bonds. Since Russophobes have already begun to manipulatively introduce into the masses the idea that Pokemon GO is harmful and family-destructive, I prepared a certificate proving that Pokemon GO is the best thing that has happened in the field of family values \u200b\u200bsince the invention of the registry office.

Argument 1. Sports and a healthy lifestyle
In Pokemon GO, the mileage traveled by the player is taken into account. The more kilometers you have traveled, the cooler Pokemon you will get. Moreover, the cunning system of the application will not allow him to be deceived either with the help of a car or even with the help of a bicycle - too fast movements simply do not count.
TRP and DOSAAF rest in the past. Pokemon GO will grow up a strong sports nation, pull teenagers out of dark rooms with computers and make them walk in parks.

Sports and a healthy lifestyle do not depend in any way on this game. Just as people played sports and led a healthy lifestyle, so they will do, regardless of the fanning hysteria around Pokémon Go.

Argument 2. Cultural enrichment
In Pokemon GO, locations with attractions play an important role. In a literal sense, players go around parks, cultural places, learn a lot about the city in which they live or in which they arrived. I'll clarify - the sights are exactly inscribed in the game - in the locations you can see a photo of the monument or object. Moreover, these locations play an important role in the game, because next to them you can get various bonuses.
The Pokemon GO generation will grow up to be much more cultured than those who have never been near these attractions.

Absolutely nothing prevents a normal person from visiting parks, cultural places, or walking around the city. On the contrary, the game, "hooking" colored monsters into the real world, breaks the line between reality and virtuality. And some museum will be remembered by the addicted player not by the objects of art, but by the monsters existing only on the screen of his smartphone.

Argument 3. Orienteering and group work
Pokemon GO develops orientation skills as well as teamwork. In addition to being able to quickly find the right object, you need to be able to work in a team to complete a number of tasks. Not a single military registration and enlistment office will teach this.

AT real life there are many activities that develop team spirit. For example, any collective sports. And in terms of their dynamics, the quality of teamwork, they are several orders of magnitude superior to the virtual world of Pokemon sucked out of the finger. I propose to compare the madness of gamers shown above in one of the videos and some, for example, a football match.

Argument 4. Friendship, good neighborliness, mutual assistance
This is a continuation of the previous point. Players interact with each other, make new acquaintances. And not among those who drink and smoke, but those who walk in the parks, who are positive and cheerful.

Of course, without Pokémon, there can be no interaction and new acquaintances in the world. Only through alcohol and tobacco smoking. Probably, the author of this post is thus conveying his personal experience. But normal people know that it is possible to be positive and cheerful without real or virtual infection.

Argument 5. Family values
Now it is much easier for the whole family to go for a walk. Dad, mom, teenage son and little daughter - it will be interesting for everyone to complete joint quests on fresh air... This game is interesting for parents with walks and time with children. Children are interested in the fact that parents are finally interested in something from their world of hobbies.

You know, if a 43-year-old man in the fresh air has nothing else to do except play with his children in Pokémon Go, this should cause serious concern to his family and friends. Any conscientious parent will name hundreds of other ways to spend time with children that will make it possible to do without virtual surrogates.

I assure you, my religious friends, today there is no game in the world that is more family-oriented and spiritually strong than Pokemon GO.

As you can imagine, this is all sarcasm. Absolutely stupid, targeting an audience of Pokémon-raised teenagers.

The funny thing is that Oleg Kozyrev was born in 1972. In 1997, when the first cartoon about Pokemon was released, he was already 25 years old. It says a lot.

Navalny was 21 years old. This can somehow be attributed to the flaws of education and the environment.

But when an adult man who claims to be a politician, who has a wife and two children, computer games - This is ridiculous:

Navalny spoke about his passion for video games: he could not kill the main villain in Crysis 3, but is going to defeat Putin

The politician also said that his entire family, including his wife and children, enjoyed playing on tablets, and many games were purchased from the AppStore. " Last game, in which I "hack" - this is Plague, where you spread the epidemic among humanity. I have achieved perfection in it. I passed it on the most difficult levels. And I can kill humanity in two minutes. "

Of the team games he liked, Navalny mentioned StarCraft: “About half a year ago, when criminal cases were already opened against me, I decided to register on Battle.net to see how everything works in StarCraft. He sat down to play and dropped out of the whole world for a week. " At the same time, he noted that he would not allow playing in his office team games - is too enthralling and time-consuming.
NewsRU.com

This is normal? Here's a roundup of news from an imaginary future:

The President of the Garden Ring Republic, Alex Navalny, could not take part in the NATO summit at the US aircraft carrier Donald Cook, which entered the mouth of the Yauza River, due to its complete disappearance from reality due to the release of the new part of Pokémon Go.

Same pure water idiocy, when a person claiming to be a politician “chops” for weeks in computer games intended for children and adolescents.

So, returning to the title of the article. I perfectly understand such a phenomenon as computer games. They also went through my childhood and adolescence. But childhood has passed, school, institute are behind - all this is left behind. When you have a family, children, work and many other worries - what kind of computer games can we talk about?

Only in one case is this permissible - when computer games are your job... For example, like Dmitry Goblina Puchkov. When you are a professional reviewer, tester and others like them.

Someone will say that computer games in adulthood are better than alcohol. Definitely yes. But they can do no less harm in terms of family relations than drinking. The virtual reality sucks in a better bottle. All this is a large and complex topic that requires a separate discussion.

Summing up, I will say the following.

There are traditional values \u200b\u200bthat, like water wears away a stone, have been sharpened over the centuries. Everyone knows them - family, children, culture, religion. There are non-traditional, "new" values \u200b\u200bto which most of society is wary - because the "effect" of accepting these "values" on faith does not affect immediately, but gradually (many have seen computer-dependent children - "elves of the 80th level").

So, acting in the role of a "people's politician", whose label Alex Navalny hangs upon himself, it is impossible to support the so-called. “Creative minority” of 1% of the total number of citizens, and to preach the views of this minority - support for Pussy Riot and the pederastic LGBT community, “egg painter” Pavlensky, call the return of Crimea an “annexation”, accuse Russia of shooting down the Malaysian Boeing flight MH17, and so on further, and the like. You can continue the list of these "merits" yourself.

As they say in this case: you either remove the cross, or put on panties.

Most netizens have already seen and know about the augmented reality game Pokemon GO, which is officially only available in the USA, New Zealand and Australia. The essence of the game is to search for fictional characters of Pokemon, which are marked on a real map of the area, and you can see them on the screens of your smartphones using the camera.

Note that the game broke all popularity records in the shortest possible time, which caused a lot of positive and negative emotions. Thanks to this game, people began to move a lot, in the USA this is most noticeable. More than 20 million users log into the game every day, which, according to fitness tracker manufacturers, contributes to a sharp jump in users' physical activity over the past week.

As you can see, people began to move much more. Photo: buzzfeed.com

People in search of Pokemon began to walk a lot in parks and on the streets of the country. All this sounds great, but many users get so fixated on the game that they stop noticing the world around them. They take risks in order to catch the next monster, and they often hide in dangerous places: they sit on railway tracks, run along filled roads or hide near water.

The AIF editors have selected the most curious cases from the Pokemon GO game for you.

A nineteen-year-old girl from Riverton was looking for a water Pokemon, but found a corpse

Sheila Wiggins from Riverton, Wyoming was eager to add a rare Water Pokémon to her collection, while taking a walk to the lake and unwinding. But on the spot, a less pleasant surprise awaited her in the form of a human corpse. The police who arrived at the scene took the body and sent it for examination. In an official comment, the Fremont Sheriff named death by drowning as the reason.

Pokemon with poisonous gases caught in the Holocaust Museum

A photo with a Pokemon named Koffing has appeared on Twitter. The main ability of which is to spray explosive gas. He was found in the hall of memory of the perished (in the gas chambers) Jews. Of course, this incident did not go unnoticed by the community and sympathizers. But this did not stop virtual hunting users playing during the excursion.

Playing in pokemon game Go guy got caught cheating

Being in the house of his ex-girlfriend, the guy decided to play his favorite game, forgetting that the game saves the exact location and date of the Pokemon capture. The guy's inattention cost him the relationship, as his acting girlfriend turned out to be more observant and noticed where he was at the time of the capture of the virtual animal. The girl has not called him since.

People in the middle of the night broke off and drove to the park

In the United States, a crowd of players rushed into the park, some even drove in to catch Vaporeon, a form of Evie's Pokémon. People decided to try their luck in the middle of the night and try to catch the creature. Some threw cars right on the road to catch the monster and add it to their collection.

The maternity hospital also has its own Pokemon

Another "hunter" caught another virtual pet right during the birth of his wife. A man, as an exemplary family man, could not help but be present during such an important moment. However, he also could not miss the valuable monster. Later, he described his exploits on the Web, supplementing them with relevant photographs. There were also those who could not appreciate the sacrifice of an act. However, as Jonathan assures, the wife was not offended and even laughed. By the way, this is already 3 children in the family.

Into the ocean for monsters

In Wellington, a couple of Pokemon Go players found a Pokémon training ground in the middle of the ocean by renting a kayak. Among other things, they found out that the man who handed over the kayak to them not only plays Pokemon Go, but is also part of the team that controls the training area located in the middle of the ocean.

Playing the game the Australians wandered into the spider kingdom

The Australian couple went in search of a Pokemon named Meowth. However, the road led them a little wrong. At least Meowth wasn't there. But there was a web. A lot of cobwebs. In fact, such phenomena are typical for Australia, because during floods, spiders migrate from places with high humidity to drier ones, setting up a spider kingdom there.

: players must catch virtual Pokemon (pocket monsters), which the map tied to geolocation "populates" the world around them. To immerse yourself in the game and see a completely different world in real space, you just need to turn on the camera on your gadget. Then it turns out that around you there is a huge number of cartoon creatures everywhere - on the streets, buildings, benches, cafe tables, on trees and any other objects. Having found a Pokemon, you need to catch it, accurately and in time throwing a virtual "Pokeball" at it. For successful actions in Pokémon GO, experience points are awarded, with the accumulation of which it grows.

After just two weeks, the game became the most popular in history: it was downloaded by hundreds of thousands of people (and continue to download), it took first places in App Store and Google play... The capitalization of the company that develops applications for smartphones in a matter of days increased by $ 8 billion. According to experts, each person spends on average more than 43 minutes per day playing a game, for comparison, this figure is more than the time spent on applications such as What'sApp , Snapchat and Instagram. $ 1.5 million per day - the profit of the App Store and Google Play.

Limitless madness

It would seem that it is an ordinary game, nothing special and dangerous, you catch harmless monsters invisible to the ordinary eye and do not touch anyone - there are no signs that this can develop into a mass hobby and become a real insanity. However, more and more strange incidents related to the game cannot but alert.

In Washington, DC, players visit the Holocaust Museum to catch something purple that releases poisonous gas (sinister coincidence). Memorial September 11, 2001 from a place of memory, grief and sadness has become for players only a place for "pumping" (improvement) of Pokémon. In the United States, a special unit has even appeared in the cemetery that catches people who spend hours driving or walking around burial sites with smartphones. Yes, Pokémon "appear" on graves too.

But there is little hope for the police either - they themselves are carried away by the capture of Pokémon, and they do not hide this in any way: a video appeared on the network in which a young man asks the guards about whether they managed to "catch the animal." And this is far from the only case of police officers who plunged into the game while working. The focus of attention was the law enforcement officers from Fountain Hills (Arizona) - they themselves published a video of the so-called "special operation", during which they managed to detain a rare Pokemon.

From now on, not everyone comes to American museums to enjoy art and quench their thirst for beauty; Pokemon hunters are increasingly appearing there in order to replenish the collection.

The whole world was covered by footage in which huge crowds of people, leaving their cars right in the middle of the road, ran to Central Park in New York to catch a rare Pokemon.

A little later, all in the same New York, players caused a traffic jam on Fifth Avenue, where users also tried to catch a rare virtual animal. The parks are just teeming with people, somewhat inadequate. Another place for a virtual hunt is Balview Downtown Park in Seattle, starring dozens of players who rushed to the edge of the green field in a race to be the first to find the hiding Pokemon.

In commercial interests

The owners of various cafes and shops took advantage of the incredible excitement. They began to attract visitors with Pokemon, for money "generating" their appearance on their territory. Thus, L’inizio pizzeria in New York became the first where visitors can meet face to face with the Pokémon on a bar stool, in a hall or even in a toilet stall. The rest only watch in amazement as the players, burying their heads in their smartphones, seem to catch someone. Pokémon really began to make a profit for the institution - according to its owners, sales of drinks and food increased by 30% compared to regular weekends.

The secret is simple: people are invited to participate in the so-called battles in Team Mystic Gym, Pokémon are offered, but they emphasize that these animals only for guests of a particular institution. Some even plan to host Pokemon themed parties. What can you do to increase sales.

Further more, some people began to imitate Pokemon. One such incident occurred during a bout of a mixed martial arts fighter Michael Page with an opponent who was knocked out. To cement his triumph, Paige, wearing a baseball cap with a Pokeball (device for capturing Pokémon), released the ball at the defeated opponent.

Pokemon became, perhaps, the most discussed topic in Western and Russian media for recent times... They talk about them, write about them, some even dream of them. All this became a wonderful PR for a rather dangerous game, which today is played by about 21 million virtual hunters for unprecedented animals.

Pokémon hit all sorts of records - including left far behind the notorious birds Angry Birds, which were also popular in their time. Knowing how quickly the situation on the virtual market is changing, developers are doing everything possible to stay in the "top" as long as possible. Thanks to a powerful PR company, including in the news of federal channels, the game will certainly become the most popular in Russia. In this connection, suspicions creep in that the technology is being promoted.

Stop Pokemon!

However, as the popularity of Pokemon Go grows, more and more complaints come to Nintendo - people in letters ask the creators of the game to remove special places from the virtual map where the game goes beyond all limits, becoming blasphemy or creating danger. For example, in cemeteries, historical monuments, in religious institutions, in protected areas, in high-risk areas. True, so far these complaints have not brought any results - Pokemon hunters continue to roam wherever possible and impossible.

However, they started talking about the problem. So, the leadership of Auschwitz asked to remove Pokémon from their territory.

“It is unacceptable to play Pokemon Go in a museum that is a memorial to the victims of Nazism,” said Andrew Hollinger, director of public relations at the Holocaust Museum.

The administration of the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, in which they are sure that the game "does not correspond to the rules of decency in this territory," also expressed dissatisfaction.

European countries are seriously concerned about the mass enthusiasm of citizens. In Amsterdam, the hospital administration is unhappy with the fact that visitors, without noticing anything around, enter the premises closed to strangers. The police constantly receive complaints that concern suspicious people who photograph (as it seems to others) buildings and private houses. These people are suspected of looking for new targets to commit theft, but, as it turns out, the suspicious types are simply overly keen on finding Pokémon.

Pokémon GO made more noise than any other mobile app... Unfortunately, not all the news related to this game was funny or funny.

Even plunging into the most fascinating world games with augmented reality, do not forget about basic safety rules and you must always remain vigilant. Alas, not all players understand this, and therefore the news is so frequent in which accidents due to Pokémon GO are covered.

Pokemon and cars

Many problems arose among players who tried to combine the game and driving a car. So Stephen Kerry, 28, drove into a tree, crashing his car and fracturing his ankle. He honestly admitted to the police that he played too much and did not notice the turn.

The guy was saved from the trial only by the fact that no one was hurt by his stupidity. It is worth admitting that similar incidents while playing Pokemon GO will continue to occur until a serious accident occurs, and the players do not really think about their behavior. Already, when the game starts, a warning is displayed so that no one is catching Pokémon while driving.

Pokemon and corpses

The incident of 19-year-old Sheila Wiggens is even more creepy. Looking in the vicinity of her house, the girl climbed over the fence near the river and saw the corpse of a man in black in the water.

Fortunately, the girl herself got off with a fright and subsequently it helped the investigation, but the alternative to stumble upon something equally terrible for many discourages them from catching Pokemon.

Pokemon and organized crime

A week after the app's release in St. Louis, a group of scammers figured out a way to get rich off of passionate gamers. They set up a poke-stop in a deserted place and thus lured gamers.

The unfortunate victims themselves went into a trap and did not have time to feel that something was wrong, burying their heads in their smartphone, which became the prey of the intruders.

In Pokémon GO, incidents of this magnitude can be repeated everywhere and the authorities are unable to protect the players. The only way out is to remain vigilant and not walk alone in deserted places.

Pokemon and spiders

Some incidents due to Pokémon GO seem not so serious, but it still says a lot about the attentiveness of the players. A couple in love from Australia, in pursuit of rare Pokémon, fell into a huge web left by a colony of migrating spiders. Gamers were very lucky that arthropods did not take revenge and bite intruders.

Pokemon and firearms

The most significant case is in the United States: a group of players wandered into the territory of someone else's house, the owner of which was in possession of a firearm. The man thought that they were going to rob him, and opened fire.

The guys were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, but in fact the man has nothing to blame. He only defended his private property.

Tinplate in Pokemon GO - don't miss it!

And finally, a cool video on the topic, be sure to watch:

1. So Anime about Pokemon was released in 1997, the next year after the release of the first game. So this cartoon was made based on the game, and not vice versa. The Pokémon in the cartoon were slightly different and the creators had to adjust the appearance of the creatures in the next game.

2. Pokemon was invented by the Japanese game designer Satoshi Tajiri, who was fond of collecting insects as a child. It was popular entertainment in Japan at the time.

3. This year Pokémon turns 20. During this time, 6 generations of games have changed, 800 cartoon episodes were released, 17 full-length films, some of which were shown in cinemas, and 26 short films.

4. On this moment There are 718 types of Pokémon known from games, manga and anime, each of which has its own unique set of attacks and abilities.

5. Several lawsuits have been filed against Nintendo. In 2000, Israeli illusionist Uri Geller sued Nintendo Corporation, claiming that the company used him to create the telekinesis-based Pokémon Kadabra holding a metal spoon. He also accused the company of using his patented "magic" word "abracadabra" for the names of two Pokemon of the American version: Abra and Kadabra. The damage is estimated by Geller at $ 100 million. Nintendo said that no human was used as a prototype when creating Pokémon. The claim was dismissed.

Toy manufacturer Morrison Entertainment Group has also launched a lawsuit against the creators of Pokémon. The reason is the similarity of the name of the Morrison Entertainment Group toy series "Monster in My Pocket" with the Japanese name of "Pokémon" "Pocket Monsters". The lawsuit was dismissed because the characters of Monster in My Pocket are not well known and therefore cannot mislead viewers.

6. Pokemon games are among the most popular games in the world. By comparison, the latest installment for the Nintendo 3DS, Pokemon Omega Ruby / Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, released in 2014, has sold 10.5 million copies worldwide. And the previous one, Pokemon X / Y, released in 2012 - 13.9 million. Yes, Pokemon games come out in pairs, with a different set of creatures.

7. Shortly before the start of work on the American adaptation, the series "Electronic Soldier Porigon" aired, where at one point there was a very rapid change of two contrasting colors (red and blue), as a result of which more than seven hundred Japanese children were hospitalized.

8. When translating anime into english language he was subjected to some censorship, in particular, jokes on a sexual theme, which are considered the norm in Japan, were removed, as well as several scenes, according to censors, are cruel. Almost all the characters' names have also been changed: Satoshi became Ash, Kasumi became Misty, and Takeshi became Brock. In addition, almost all Japanese inscriptions were redrawn and replaced with English ones. 4Kids Entertainment tried to remove references to Japanese culture from the show, such as onigiri rice balls, a popular Japanese snack, which were called eclairs or donuts in various episodes, and were redrawn on sandwiches in the season of Pokémon: New Battle.

10 No one dies in the Pokemon universe. Fights take place until one of the Pokémon falls unconscious or his trainer surrenders - fights never take place until death.

11 References to Pokémon are constantly found in pop culture. For example, this movie is parodied in South park, in Episode 10 of Season 3, titled "Chinpokomon". In it, the insidious Japanese use video games and related products to brainwash American children, planning to undermine the power of the United States and carry out an attack on Pearl Harbor; one of the characters, Kenny McCormick, gets convulsions after trying to play a video game and eventually dies

Of course, this is a reference to the already mentioned incident with the 38th episode. This episode is generally referred to quite often - for example, in one of the "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo" episodes of The Simpsons, the Simpson family travels to Japan, where they watch the cartoon "Convulsive Fighting Robots" (eng. Battling Seizure Robots) and begins to convulse when he sees the sparkling eyes of the robot. In the cartoon "Multreality" there is an Asian monster Ling-Ling, which is a parody of Pikachu: its goal is "to fight and plunge children into epileptic seizures."

12. Initially, Pokémon were supposed to be called Kapumons - capsule monsters. But Nintendo insisted on pocket monsters.

13. Some of the Pokemon exist in our world. This is especially true of Polivag - the spiral on his stomach is fully consistent appearance abdomen of tadpoles.

14. Pokemon kickboxer Hickmonley was copied by the creators from Bruce Lee, and Hitmonchan - from Jackie Chan.

15. Before entering the American market, Pokemon wanted to modify, giving them brutality: according to the theory of marketers, American children should not have liked the kawaii squeaking pussies.
