Pokémon

This name is apparently an acronym for "POK Erythroid Myeloid Ontogenic" factor (a cancer causing agent), so the name could be either a backronym or simply coincidence. I try to live by the laws, but it seems like I'm being set up." Full Story (http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=77069). A mammalian oncogene was named "Pokemon" [4] (http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/54387.cfm) (no "é") by its discoverers. I'm a pretty honest guy. See also Jynx and Kadabra for specific lawsuits regarding these characters.. I'm very, very clear on that. They claim incorrectly that the word "Pokemon" is a Japanese word which means "I am a Jew." One Saudi Arabian Sheikh (Sheikh Abdel Moneim Abu Zant) has written "The Pokémon craze is a Jewish plot aimed at forcing our children to forgo their faith and values and to distract them from more important things such as scientific ambitions." The Anti-Defamation League has denounced these theories. [3] (http://www.adl.org/presrele/IslME_62/3791_62.asp). FMQB.com (http://www.fmqb.com) quoted Stern as saying about his current employer, "They're holding me to the contract and I'm afraid to break the contract, because I don't want to ever do anything illegal or wrong.

A few Islamic religious speakers in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt hold that Pokémon is part of a "Jewish conspiracy" to corrupt Muslim children. House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner Jr.'s recommendation.
. On April 6, 2005, Stern pleaded on-air for Infinity Broadcasting to let him out of his contract, citing the reason of possible prosecution as per U.S. An image of the controversial card may be seen here (http://www.geocities.com/swastika_webring/pokeswas.jpg). Like I'm going to pay 'em,", which he publicly stated on his show. [2] (http://www.adl.org/presrele/Mise_00/3511_00.asp) This raised a public backlash in Japan for being intolerant towards the symbols of the Buddhist religion for the sake of avoiding controversy. Stern's response was, "Keep sending me bills.

As a result of this controversy Nintendo stopped using this symbol even in the Japanese version. In one incident, Farid Suleman of Citadel broadcasting has gone so far as to have billed Stern $200,000 for the plugs he's given Sirius on his show. by unauthorized import. His impending move to Sirius has resulted in some radio stations censoring him every time he mentions the words "Sirius" or "satellite radio". However, these Jewish groups attacked the Japanese version distributed in the U.S. Stern even held a rally in New York where he gave out coupons for free or discounted Sirius equipment. The manji was shown only on a Japanese version card and was excluded from the North American release. This move has been met with much controversy, as Stern has been talking about his move to Sirius on his show, even telling listeners how to purchase Sirius equipment and subscriptions.

If a Japanese map of any major city is examined, little clockwise swastikas, or "manji", where Buddhist temples are located, can be seen. In addition, the deal would also enable Stern to program two additional Sirius channels, one of which would be available at an extra charge to subscribers. Nintendo says that this is a matter of cultural misunderstanding, as the swastika used to be used in East Asian cultures as a symbol for "good fortune" by the Buddhist religion. On October 6, 2004, Stern announced on his show that he has signed a five year, $500 million deal with the satellite radio service Sirius. The deal, which takes effect on January 1, 2006, would enable Stern to broadcast his show without, as of present, the content restrictions imposed by the FCC. Pokémon has been criticised by some members of the Jewish community for its use of the swastika, the most widely known symbol of Nazism, which they hold is inappropriate for children's toys. Stern said "Bush being born again is the source of Bush forcing his morals on this country, he's ruining America." Stern also said that "Bush needs to stop talking to Jesus.". The alleged outcry was enough to move the Vatican to comment, in an official statement on April 21, 2000:. Incidentally, President Bush's religious beliefs were one of the reasons Stern became so opposed to him.

It would be incorrect to state that the Christian religious community is of a single mind in this matter, but most mainstream sects of Christianity are utterly indifferent to Pokemon. At one point Stern actually said that "Mel Gibson makes Hitler look like Gandhi". The surprisingly small amount of original protests (as opposed to reports of protests) seem to reinforce this belief. He called the film a "kook festival for a robotic freak audience" and even linked his radio suspension to the film, claiming that it was causing a "religious frenzy" and that anyone who goes to see the movie is "stupid and ignorant". Still, most people (including many Asian Christian congregations) dismiss these claims to be nonsense, and attribute many of the alleged protests to urban legend. Throughout the Spring of 2004, Stern was a very vocal and staunch critic of Mel Gibson and his religious epic, The Passion of the Christ. The claimed parallels between Pokémon and Satanism include:. Here, as is often typical with Stern, his return was greeted with controversy as the Miami Dolphins threatened to revoke their broadcast deal with the station in question if the station did not fire him.

Some Protestant Christian groups in the United States believe Pokémon to be Satanic in origin.[1] (http://www.cephasministry.com/save_our_children_pokemon_booklet.html) After the US release of Pokémon Yellow, there was a sudden widespread criticism of it passed through Christian congregations primarily by word-of-mouth. In late August, he returned to a fifth market, Miami, on an independent station. In late 2002, it was scheduled to tour Europe, but was cancelled for unknown reasons. However, on July 19, Stern returned to four of the six markets Clear Channel booted him off of, and added five new ones to the roster — this time on Infinity-owned stations. It was based off of the popular Pokémon anime, and was well-liked among fans of the franchise (in spite of some continuity errors relating to the anime). On April 8, 2004, Clear Channel Communications announced it would "permanently terminate" its relationship with the shock jock [2] (http://clearchannel.com/Corporate/PressReleases/2004/20040408_Stern.pdf) after being fined $500,000 by the FCC. A live action show called Pokémon Live! toured the United States in late 2000. Stern has consistently claimed the move is an attempt by Jay Leno to steal ideas from Howard's show.

Main article: Pokémon Live!. On February 27 of 2004, long-time Stern show regular John Melendez left the show to become the on-air announcer for The Tonight Show. There are various Pokémon manga series, four of which were released in English by Viz Communications, and seven of them released in English by Chuang Yi. She won and kept her promise, although one of her successors, Democrat Jim McGreevey, later claimed impropriety by Whitman and revoked the "honor.". The trading card game also spread to schools around the world, with news reports stating about their confiscation from classrooms. In an on-air stunt, Stern promised then-gubernatorial candidate Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey that he would endorse her candidacy if she promised to name a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike after him if she were elected. The latest incarnations of the card games is known as Pokémon-e Trading Card Game, the cards of which (for the large part) are compatible with the Nintendo e-Reader. This is only the latest in a long string of political endorsements Stern has made, having earlier supported former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, among others.

However, with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Game Boy video games, Nintendo took back the card game from Wizards of the Coast and started publishing the cards themselves. presidential campaign, and urged his listeners to vote for him. At the time, it was published by Wizards of the Coast, the company most famous for Magic: The Gathering. troops into Iraq, he turned against him, as he did Bill Clinton, because neither, as he has put it, got "the FCC off my back." He endorsed John Kerry in the 2004 U.S. It is a collectible card game based off the famous Pokémon video game. It should be noted that Stern was one of the few celebrities who publicly supported Bush sending U.S. The Pokémon Trading Card Game was first introduced to North America in 1999, and in Japan at an earlier date.

Main article: Pokémon (card game). Because Clear Channel and some of its executives have donated over $200,000 (http://www.opensecrets.org/softmoney/softcomp2.asp?txtName=Clear+Channel+Communications&txtUltOrg=y&txtSort=name&txtCycle=2002) to the Republican Party, Stern claims the company was trying to penalize him for his harsh criticisms of President George W. Sunday is seen only on TV Tokyo, with no English adaptation planned. This is considered to be part of a wide-ranging backlash against obscenity triggered by the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy. Currently, Advanced Generation can be seen on TV Tokyo, and the English Advanced Challenge adaption can be seen on Kids WB in the United States, YTV in Canada, and Sky 1 in the United Kingdom. Housoukyoku originally aired on TV Tokyo but has since ended its run, while Chronicles can only be seen in the United Kingdom on Toonami UK as of May 2005. Clear Channel president John Hogan said, "Clear Channel drew a line in the sand today with regard to protecting our listeners from indecent content, and Howard Stern's show blew right through it...it was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African-Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency." The move came only a day after Clear Channel fired Bubba the Love Sponge for similar reasons. There is also a television program in Japan titled Pokémon Sunday, a live action Pokémon-themed variety show hosted by the Pokémon Research Team. The show in question featured Rick Salomon, whose claims to fame include a publicly released home video showing him having sex with Paris Hilton. During this broadcast Stern held, would could be considered, a sexually-provocative and racially insensitive interview with Soloman, asking him graphic questions about anal sex and making light of a caller's use of the word "nigger".

The English adaptation of this series, Pokémon Chronicles, combines the episodes from this series as well as various other made-for-TV specials (originally unrelated to Housoukyoku) that have aired in Japan but not translated for English release. On February 25, 2004, Clear Channel Communications "indefinitely suspended" him from six markets because of alleged indecency involving sexual and racist dialogue during his show. The second, entitled Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku is a spinoff of the first, and tells the adventures within the continuity of Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation, starring many of the recurring characters in Pocket Monsters. Stern, his supporters note, has not gone out of his way to offend the general public in this manner. Again, for the English release, Advanced Generation was split into separate series. In 2002 fellow Infinity Broadcasting Corporation jocks Opie and Anthony had their nationally syndicated WNEW-FM "extreme talk" show cancelled after they encouraged a couple to engage in sexual intercourse at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, then airing a running commentary of the act on their show. Ash takes on the role of a teacher and mentor for a younger, beginning Pokemon trainer in this series. (He informed listeners early in 2004 that the ABC television network was in talks with him to produce an interview special.) His popularity has given rise to a number of imitation "shock jocks" who attempt to outdo Stern in terms of offensiveness and rudeness, but these imitators have found themselves with more troubles to worry about than listener ratings.

The saga continues into Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation (in Japan) where Ash and company travel to Hoenn, a southern region in the Pokémon World. Despite the provocative content of Stern's show—or perhaps because of it—many listeners and critics consider Stern to be a talented on-air personality and formidable interviewer. For the English language release, Pocket Monsters was split into four separate series spanning five seasons. Stern was a producer for the TV series Son of the Beach. The first, and the more familiar one, Pokémon or Pocket Monsters (often referred to as Pokemon: Gotta Catch Em All to distinguish it from the later series) tells the adventures of Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in the original Japanese version) as he travels through Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto to become the greatest Pokémon Master. In 2002, Stern's production company Howard Stern Productions acquired the rights to the 1982 movie Porky's and the 1979 movie Rock 'n' Roll High School. There are two Pokémon anime series based on the video games. This reinforced his long-held belief that there is a bias against him in the mainstream media.

Main article: Pokémon (anime). He had been on the air the whole time without any positive reaction. There is currently a Nintendo DS sequel, (Pokémon Diamond and Pearl), as well as a Gamecube game entitled Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness in development. As other comedy performers like David Letterman and Jon Stewart later returned to the air, many with emotionally-charged monologues, Stern was furious at the glowing response they received in the press. The series has also diversified into various spin-offs, such as pinball games, virtual pets, simulated photography, and racing. The show had a somewhat subdued tone, with many listeners calling in to share their own stories of survival or personal loss. A third version of Ruby and Sapphire, called Pokémon Emerald, was released on May 1, 2005. Stern and the rest of the cast/crew continued to broadcast over the subsequent days following the disaster.

The most recent full fledged game has been Fire Red and Leaf Green which are remakes of Red and Blue. Mr. The Game Boy Advance first saw the release of Ruby and Sapphire, with Emerald being the tertiary version. Armstrong was the notable exception, as he left the city immediately and refused to return for several days. Gold and Silver were followed by the exclusively Game Boy Color version, Crystal. Crew member K.C. Pokémon Red and Blue (Pokémon Green was available in English via import but had many swear words from the translator) were followed by Pokémon Yellow (in Japan, Red and Green were followed by Blue which was subsequently followed by Yellow). His live reporting was the first news of the incident for many East Coast residents.

Each generation of Pokémon games so far has followed a pattern of two complementing versions followed later by at least one other version with some extras. Howard Stern was on the air in his New York City studio during the September 11, 2001 attacks and stayed on the air with his cast/crew while many other broadcasters fled the city. While battling monsters is nothing new to RPGs, many players found themselves nearly addicted to finding, fighting, and capturing each and every one of the Pokémon in the game. Another, perhaps easier, goal was to finish the game's storyline by becoming the Pokémon League Champion by collecting eight Gym Badges and defeating the Elite Four. After auditioning himself, it was eventually announced that comedian Artie Lange was the permanent replacement. The ultimate goal of these games was to catch at least one member of all the different species of Pokémon (150 at the time, 151 including one that could not be obtained during regular gameplay), and to do so, players had to trade for Pokémon not available in the version they had. Over the next several months, various comedians auditioned in the "Jackie Chair" for the job. These games were nearly identical, save for the fact that each version had a select group of Pokémon that the other version did not. It was officially announced on March 5, 2001 that longtime show regular Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling had left the radio show after failed contract negotiations.

The first games in the series were the RPGs Pokémon Red and Blue (Red and Green in Japan and a subsequent special edition known as Blue). The number of commercials aired during his radio show has greatly increased from the 1980s to the present. The Pokémon franchise originated with a series of Japanese video games created by Satoshi Tajiri for the Game Boy. Both stations cancelled Stern's show in 2000 after frequent listener complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council and the CRTC; for most of the time that the stations did air Stern's program, they were required to monitor the show for offensive content through the use of broadcast delays. Main article: Pokémon (video games). Also in 1997, Stern's show aired for the first time in Canada, appearing on CILQ in Toronto and CHOM in Montreal. based subsidary called Pokémon USA, which a minority owner is 4Kids Entertainment, the international distributors outside Japan of the popular Pokemon anime series. Stern did not apologize for his words but instead argued that his comments were an attempt to figure out what was wrong with the two attackers.

The Pokémon Company in turn has a U.S. His April 21, 1999 show drew angry criticism and official "censure" from the Colorado State Legislature for his comment regarding the motives of the two male students who murdered 12 classmates and one teacher in the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado:. The subsidary handles everything from publishing the games in Japan to running the official merchandise stores, the Pokémon Centers. On January 15, 1998 Lance Carvin, who had been stalking Stern, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for threatening to kill Stern and his family. Because of the unprecedented popularity of the franchise, Nintendo formed a subsidary company called The Pokémon Company to handle the franchise. Being a personality that most people either love or hate, he has had his share of stalkers and death threats. Shows such as the Simpsons have made mild references to Pokemon and other anime in their cartoons. As of 2005, this project has not even begun pre-production.

The satirical cartoon South Park spoofed Pokémon in Episode 312, entitled "Chinpokomon", in which the bosses behind the creation of the toys were revealed to be Japanese ultranationalists bent on avenging Japan's defeat in World War II. He had also announced plans for a film provisionally titled The Adventures of Fartman based on a character created for his appearance at the MTV Video/Music Awards. The Pokémon characters have become pop-culture icons, with a Pikachu balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, thousands of merchandise items, and in 2005, a theme park in Nagoya, Japan. The movie did moderately well at box offices and in video release, garnering a total of over $60 million. (In an "in-joke" used in the English version of the Pokemon anime movie "Destiny Deoxys," Brock says this as he catches hot dogs from a machine in mid-air.)The games have sold over 100 million copies to date, not counting the ones released for consoles. In 1997, Stern's autobiographical book, Private Parts, was adapted to film. The game's catchphrase used to be "Gotta catch 'em all!", although now it is no longer officially used. He also made comments that were considered racist by many people, such as "Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul", and "Spanish people have the worst taste in music...they have no depth." After pressure from his radio station, Stern gave an on-air apology a week later in Spanish.

Pokémon battles are based on the non-lethal Eastern sport of fighting insects, but the Pokémon never bleed or die, only faint. In March of 1995, one day before the funeral of slain Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla, Stern played the sounds of gunshots in the background over some of her music. The Pokémon games are strategy games with a small RPG element which allow players to catch, collect, and train pets with various abilities, and battle them against each other to build their strength and evolve them into more powerful Pokémon. He subsequently withdrew his candidacy because he did not want to comply with the financial disclosure requirements for candidates. These figures have grown from the 151 monsters (including the secret one, Mew) from the original games. Although he legally qualified for the office and campaigned for a time after his nomination, many viewed the run for office as nothing more than a publicity stunt. The franchise has 386 unique monsters that lie at the heart of the Pokémon series (391 including currently known Pokémon from future games). In 1994, Stern embarked on a political campaign for Governor of New York, formally announcing his candidacy under the Libertarian Party ticket.

Pokémon is also the collective name for the fictional creatures within the Pokémon games. In 1992, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Infinity Broadcasting $600,000 after Stern discussed masturbating to a picture of Aunt Jemima. The name Pokémon is a portmanteau of the words Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā), which is its Japanese name. The stations are not allowed to stream the show over the internet. It has been merchandised into anime, manga, trading cards, toys, and much more. (27 owned by Infinity Broadcasting), down from Stern's peak syndication of 62 stations. Pokémon (Japanese: ポケモン Pokemon, pronounced Poh-Kay-Mon, although it is frequently mispronounced "Poh-Kee-Mon") is a video game franchise, created by Satoshi Tajiri and published by Nintendo for several of their systems, most importantly the Game Boy. As of November 2004, the show, typically airing in the morning, is syndicated on 45 radio stations all across the U.S.

See also: Allegations of Satanism in popular culture. Fines have occasionally been issued against radio stations airing his show, generally for violating FCC requirements regarding content. Still, the parent conglomerate that hosts Stern's show, Infinity Broadcasting (a subsidiary of Viacom), seems to consider these fines a necessary price to pay in order to support Stern's continuing popularity. The game world also incorporates Asian traditions about elemental forces. His show is frequently the subject of complaints by various listeners who find his deliveries offensive - something he deliberately encourages. For example, some practise martial arts, which some Christian groups denounce as pagan. Stern believes he represents the future of America, where, in keeping with a longstanding trend, public moral standards will continue to loosen. Many Pokémon embody or practice Asian spiritual and mystical concepts. Stern referred to himself as the "King Of All Media," a parody of Michael Jackson's claiming of the title "King of Pop." To his subjects this title is true, as they have been loyal consumers of The King's books, pay-per-view events and movies.

These powers are not derived from God and therefore must stem from Satan. Wack Pack members are able to parlay their exposure on Stern's show into personal appearances at clubs and even the occasional movie. Many Pokémon have paranormal or psychic powers. Stern has also shown the ability to take society's misfits and turn them into celebrities through The Wack Pack. Pokémon "evolve." Evolution precludes literal creationism, therefore Pokémon denies some forms of Biblical interpretation. Stern's lawyer alleged, "It's our view that the real reason they've [fired Stern] is they would like to get new DC-101 deejays 'GreaseMan' and 'Adam Smasher' on the air as soon as possible, and hope the audience forgets about Howard, and that's a perfectly rational business judgment.". "Magical" stones are used to evolve certain Pokémon. That June 29, Stern was fired from DC-101 radio after being suspended for criticizing his station management and two other radio stations.

Magical "talismans" (gym badges) are necessary to control many of them. He was making light of the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 one day earlier, on January 13, 1982, which had killed 78 persons (both onboard the airplane and in vehicles stopped in traffic on the bridge). They are captured and must be invoked to perform tasks. in which Stern called Air Florida Airlines and asked what the fare was for a one-way ticket from Washington National Airport to the 14th Street Bridge (on the Potomac River less than 1 mile from the airport).
