Considering the fact that people couldn't drop it to the point of going to criminal organizations just to keep drinking? I think it was a good idea. People were, and still are, apparently very desperate towards drinking alcohol if they'll turn to crime lords to get their fix.Dr_Horrible said:
Hah, thanks for posting. I remember as a kid that when I saw a dentist, and he was talking to my mom, it was brought up that I liked the books. He said how it was actually banned in some places (can't remember where because I was like 10) because of things that they would throw in there in order to make it more interesting, get you to look longer and keep your interest. He then whipped out the book to that page and pointed her out. I remember in a couple of my old search and find books there was stuff like this to a varying degree. X-men had a few half naked women, and pokemon... Well, I lost pokemon years ago and can't quite remember, but I want to say... a charcter, (Misty?) was in a shower or something? Sorry, again, I was young. I actually want to find that book again. I used to spend hours digging through it with my brother.Psycho Cat Industries said:wow,I found,why in a waldo book?chris11246 said:a where's waldo book was banned because there's a woman is lying down without a top on on a beach
I think it was more the fact that they saw it more as people forcing small critters to fight one another for money (In the game at least >.> )ThisIsSnake said:

Just don't quote me on that. Like I said, it was a long, long time ago. And I think she was older than Ash... but since I don't know his age... never mind.Psycho Cat Industries said:Gross,isn't she like 10?Ghaleon640 said:Hah, thanks for posting.

Edit: And upon further retrospect, would it have even been all that bad since I was 10 at the time? Granted when I was a kid I thought it was strange.
If I was a commoner back then I would've laughed my ass off. Oh yes I'm totally going to give up my only defense against a bunch of maurading rapists, murderers, and thugs. If i recall correctly, this waas around the time the concept of knights faded, so I'm guessing it didn't take.Athol said:
OT: I'd have to agree those saying anything Australia bans.
Ash and Misty were both perpetually 10 years old, until one of the more recent series aged Ash up to a whooping 13 years of age. In any case, if you are remembering right there's no way they actually showed her nude, racier anime then Pokemon use steam to sensor bath scenes.Ghaleon640 said:
Yeah, I didn't mean that they actually showed anything. I probably would have remembered that and probably would have been horrified.Duskflamer said:
