I'm honestly surprised that was accepted. There generally seems to be a problem with memes not thrown in by a dev.

No seriously, why the hell was this accepted?

It's basically saying "so there's a meme that NEARLY got into Pokemon but didn't" It's like saying that "Hideki Naganuma wanted to work on Splatoon because it had a similar artstyle to Jet Set Radio but he didn't."

Unless this Pokémon has been confirmed or something? I haven't kept up to date with anything but the starters final evo.

I honestly am a little annoyed with this one when I see trivia of mine that has been sitting in pending for a long time, including one about a famous athlete who literally worked as a side job making video games before he went big in his sport and ended up having a popular video game series made about him.  That is something interesting, and I can link the interview video and timestamp and even did. 

But, even the trivia says that Nintendo never made a comment over it.  But, because it is Pokemon and we need as much Pokemon trivia here as possible, I guess it gets a pass.  That is why I think it's accepted.

I submitted this trivia twice and both times it has gotten rejected because there wasn't substantial evidence to back it up as proper trivia. At the time, I respected the reasoning and while I did fight for the trivia, I knew it was a lost cause. Yet, this trivia has somehow made it into the site under the "rumor" tag. Understandably, I was peeved enough to realize that submitting trivia hasn't been #1 priority as of late for VGFacts. They only review the latest game release as to get that viewer count. At this point, they are willing to post trivia that are deemed "interesting" and they use that as an excuse whenever they get called out for it.

Not that I care now but back then I gived up on trivia scouting and the like. Still love the forums though<3.

So, what's the meme part? The Ghost-type and Meat Shield ability? Or is it because Eric CreamyMemes started he petition? I'm lost. It may have started as a joke, but over 121,000 people signed that stupid petition. Oh, well.

^

It's "le epic harambe XDDDD" that's it. It's a monkey Pokemon that people want to get into the game because some monkey died in a zoo 8 months ago or something.

It's stupid and shouldn't be trivia worthy, unless VGFacts don't mind accepting things like that because it was big, like I can see HOW it can be trivia, but honestly it shouldn't be. It's barely trivia for the game.

Guys, do you realize that my original "What the fuck is wrong with this world?" post was about the petition itself (rather than whatever it is truly trivia worthy or not), right?

^

Oh no I get that, I was just surprised it's trivia.

It just seems so half assed and an attempt to add something to keep up with the current times or something. If he GOT INTO the game I'd understand, but from what I can tell he hasn't, it's just a petition that got a lot of signatures, was ignored by Nintendo and that's that.

^ ^ ^ Yeah, it sucks that a gorilla had to be shot and killed; people get so butt hurt, though, and it really pisses me off that there was probably more outrage over the gorilla being killed than if, hypothetically speaking, the child had been killed instead.

Hell, even Jack Hannah said that shooting Harambe was the correct choice.

^
There's is something i never understood about the Harambe killing doe (in fact, i believe i am the ONLY person asking itself this):

why didn't they used tranquilizer darts on Harambe or something similar?

Nitpicky mode: ON

Harambe was a Gorilla, and gorillas are apes. Apes do not have tails, while monkeys do.

Nitpicky mode: OFF

Tranqs take longer to work than pissed or stressed gorilla murder skills. The real question you should be asking is "on what levels was there enough negligence to allow this to happen in the first place.

1. The architect.

2. The Zoo.

3. The parent.

The third option.

No, its definitely all 3. Its a collective of neglect that led to that being possible.

I completely agree with this.

Pokeballs out for Harambe?

...I'll see myself out.
