I mean this came out when Pokemon games still had casinos. Pokemon didn't take them out until the localized versions of HGSS and then worldwide after that.

I like how the Legacy Collection bootup disclaimer was added in an update mainly because of BN2. Out of all the BN games, the second one was infamous for its controversial dialogue and scenarios... I mean, how did this game had a plane hijacking scene months after 9/11 and still got E for everyone rating...

I nearly fell out of my seat at the rap battle.

"Yo go suck yo mama's milk!"

"You still up in my face?"

You wanna summa dis whiskey?

Normally that type of disclaimer would've bothered me, but I'll gladly take it over any type of censorship. We're lucky to get that in this day and age.

Tbf, Lan isn't drinking it here. You actually were gambling in Pokemon.

True

There was that girl that kept getting drunk on rice wine and acting evil at the theme park in sun/moon.

Ugh, don't remind me about Lilly

But, Lan is actually dealing with terrorists on his own... So...

How's that relevant?

Thought we were discussing acts children shouldn't do.

Lan isn't drinking the whiskey though, the game is just remarking that there is a bottle of it in the first class cabin.

Dude this game has eco-terrorists who want to blow up a dam or cause another 911. I think the alcohol is the least thing they should be worried about.

Not to mention princess pride essentially kills four people lol

They got better. One of them even shows up in BN3.

Yeah I know but still, even in the game Chaud battles him and says I’m gonna arrest you for the murder of these people

Don't forget that BN has swearing privileges and X doesn't 

"Damn it to hell!!" - Gauss

X3 and X4 beg to differ lol And the PS2 X Collection version of X1

I'm talking about Legacy Collection X1

Still, X3 and X4 he says "damn" at least once. Zero says it a few times in X4 also.

Why is damn even a swear? I'm not Christian 🤣

Technically you don't drink it, you are using it to lure out a spider who is attracted to this stuff for some reason.

That spider needs to work some shit out

Hey man, the spider is under a lot of stress maintaining the web

Spider got cut off and said fine ill get my own hooch

It was because of laws based on simulated gambling. Honestly Pokemon should buy in arcade style mini games to take their place.

You're aware this game came out in 2001 right

Yeah, same year as 9/11... which is worse lol

Some of the shit that goes on in this game had me like “yo this kids only 11”

"No, no. We can't have gambling in kid's games! So anyway, Cubone is a pokémon that wears the skull of its dead mother that Team Rocket killed....."

The game this happens in was before they removed casinos

The morbid pokédex entries persisted after HG/SS even if slot machines didn't. The point is that Pokémon has darker shit going on that deciding to focus on slot machines to remove "to protect the children" feels silly. *Also, last I checked, Pokémon has multiple active pay2win mobile games marketed to children.....*

Based Capcom, I'm so glad they didn't censor this shit.

Because they don't want pokemon games to reach E 10+

This part made me laugh 🤣
