I really hate these guys. They're like Team Plasma as the OP said but much less likable. They're just pathetic as Paul would say.
 
Add to the fact that there was the Uri Geller problem with Kadabra. That caused Kadabra to never be shown again in the TCG, the anime, and I think, the manga.

The funniest part is that you can see parents nodding their heads in the audience.

Ok.. I just seriously shot tea out my nose.. I can't breathe!!! And now, I shall go back to "taking control of spirits in the dark realm." I bet he'd love to meet my Spiritomb!! XD
 
The only controversy nowadays in Pokemon is that you guys can't seem to just let go of what's happened in the past given that there has been no major controversy with the series as of late.

Really, its more the fans trying to look for controversy that makes the fandom look bad, with things like "BLACK AND WHITE WILL BE BANNED BECAUSE ITS RACIAL" or "ALOE IS RACIST BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK"

Also lol@Peta protesting against Mario for wearing a tanuki costume. Never have I ever thought he wore the skin of a tanuki given the size of the costume. It's like calling out a five year old for wearing a costume of a monkey.

And of course, years of turtle abuse goes unnoticed.

To be fair, there was an issue with Lenora and she was redesigned to lack her apron outside of Japan.
 
The people that start these controversial things are just plain stupid. Seriously now. It does make sense though because for some reason, it seems that I end up liking things that spark controversy or I've heard really religious people say you'll go to hell for liking it (i.e. Pokemon, Harry Potter etc.). People just take the smallest things and blow them out of proportion. Like with the Jynx thing. Just because her skin is black doesn't mean its anything racist. I bet if she had white skin no one would've said anything about it at all.
As for the PETA thing about Mario, thats just stupid. I'm sorry, I know what PETA is supposed to be for and everything, but I think they are abusing it now. Especially after that thing trying to get Turkey, Texas (I believe it was Texas) to change their name to "Tofurkey". I mean really?

This.

Note that, in pretty much all of the cases, they talk about generation I. Remember how everyone said that crazy preachers would flip over Arceus? Most people don't know what an "Arceus" is to begin with. Pokémon is "gotta catch 'em all with Pikachu all over again" to them.

Of course "controversy" keeps popping up, but at this day and age nobody with half a brain cell would seriously think about it. Except Nintendo because they'd get sued.
 
When there is no drama people will create it. There's been very little to kick up a fuss about with Pokémon, but of course, someone will pick at or create something and run with it like there's no tomorrow to make it into something because that's just what people do, fans and haters alike.
