Pikachu I ban you! Uh, oh. Saudi Arabia has just banned all Pokemon cards, games and even toys. They�ve decided that the game encourages gambling and un-islamic teachings. Back to Article

Look people thats not right and stop saying you hate arabic people they are good people just talk to them! It doesent mean that one arabic person is bad, all arabs are bad! I live in qatar and i visited saudi arabia and emarates and pekemon wasn't banded even but as muslim i say that yes this game is not good for muslim kids but if you americans like it so like it its okay, I love western cultures and i like to visit them, i also invite you to visit qatar its an amazing country smile

That's not right. People like what they like. Banning something that people enjoy would be like saying that ice cream is banned from the world. People enjoy ice cream, so why would they take it away? I know using ice cream as a simile to this situation is a bit off-topic, but I'm just showing everyone how it would be the same! Also, how would they feel if we banned something from their country that we liked and said it was wrong? Huh?

That's not right at all. What about the people who actually enjoy pokemon!? I am in love with the games and shows. Your telling me I used money to buy the games to play just to have them taken away along with all the other things that deal with Pokemon? That's not right at all! Its not all about what they think of the show. ban it in their country but don't take it away from a country where millions of people enjoy it.

I have quite a few Pokemon games I love it! And I don't depend on legendaries either, or pseudos (like Salamence) either. I use a good moveset that covers weakness.
