Earthquake Removed From Pokemon For Being Extremely Insensitive
Earthquake is an incredibly powerful move within the Pokemon (formally Pokémon) franchise. The move can effortlessly decimate whole teams. The move is ridiculously powerful, and has been since Pokémon Red for the original Gameboy. Aside from being incredibly powerful, the move is also incredibly insensitive. This morning, Gamefreak announced earthquake will be removed from Pokemon indefinitely. The move was a fan favorite, but only to insensitive fans. Enjoying earthquakes is a sick hobby for disturbed individuals. Regarding earthquake in past games, Gamefreak said “Earthquake will still be available in past games, but users who use the move online will be permanently banned”. This seems fair, as the move is insensitive to current struggles in the world.
If Earthquake Is Removed From Pokemon, What Happens If I Use It?
Using earthquake online will result in a permanent ban from Nintendo online servers. Government officials plan to make it illegal to use the move in areas of crisis. The law states “If a player uses earthquake on another player that lives in an area that recently experienced an earthquake, the player using the move will be fined or arrested”. The news has faced criticism for being extreme in nature. Victims of earthquake tragedy believe that the move is completely appropriate. With earthquake removed from pokemon, victimized players can now play the game in peace. This is a win for players that constantly worry about seeing the move.
What Are The Reasons For The Sudden Removal?
The removal came after players had bad reactions to seeing the move utilized during an insensitive time. Fans have highlighted the issues below.
- Firstly, players overuse the move. It is nearly impossible to play Pokémon for an hour and not witness the move.
- Secondly, time is against the move. Earthquakes have been increasingly devastating recently.
- Thirdly, Pokémon had an episode banned for featuring the move. The game should follow suit.
- Lastly, the move is extra traumatic in HD. Next gen graphics make the move more horrifying.
These reasons showcase the rational behind the ban. Players should be cautious to avoid bans, fines, or arrests. Hopefully no one tries to use the move any time soon.
Realible World News will update the story as it develops. This includes records of arrest.
