Pokemon: The Japanese Word For Crack-Cocaine
Pokemon. A word we all know well from a childhood game. . . or is it? Is it a really a game or code for drugs like crack-cocaine, oxicotton, and of course marijuana. The Japanese have cleverly hidden drug themes like the ones listed in the little pocket monsters games.
Pokemon enthusiasts around the world were introduced to the games in 1994. After the first 151 pokemon were released into the world of gamers all over the world, hints of drug themes were discovered throughout the unchristianized evolutions of the pocket monsters. For example: The first three pokemon seem like perfectly harmless Plant type pokemon, right? Wrong! Bulbisore has a marijuana seed on its back ready to burst with schwaggy smells and poisons of all kinds. The second of the evolutions is Ivysoar. The once marijuana seed has now blossomed into a full marijuana leaf, in which to hide its true form a small flower bud is placed to direct the eyes of gamers from paying too much attention to the actual leaves. The Final form of the evolution is, Venusaur. This is the mother of all marijuana plant type pokemon! This pokemon has a full fledged marijuana plant attached to its back. Not only are the marijuana leaves larger and wider, but they are venomous as well.
Another fine example of the drug themed pocket monsters is the pokemon, Oddish. While it may look cute and adorable, it is far from it! For pokemon experts and gamers who know Oddish well, note that the leaves on its head are strategically placed to look like a marijuana leaf. The other forms of Oddish are covered up well and seem only to be a somewhat pretty-looking flower pokemon.
The pokemon listed above are from the first generation of the pokemon series. Not only were the drug themes in the first generation, but they were carried throughout the other generations of the series. In the second generation the amount of pokemon almost doubled in number! Different types were introduced to the pokemon nation, as well as, new attacks and new characters. What is striking is the Dark type pokemon. Sinister little pocket monster with a devilish power so strong even the so-called, “good” pokemon couldn’t stop them from wreaking havic upon other pokemon and other pokemon trainers.
Another one of the drug themes carried in to the second generation was, crack-cocaine. The legendary pokemon, Suicune is a Snow type, and when its name is translated into English, it means, “God of Crack-Cocaine and Other White Powerdy Drugs”. The pokemon has notable white markings on its hind legs, sides, and upper shoulders from where its been scratching since its fur is made from the powerdy substance.
Another pokemon who bares the insignia of crack-cocaine is, Regice. The code name for crack-cocaine in the pokemon world is this pokemon. When two trainers meet in a trading center to trade their pokemon for money or other pokemon, they usually trade other pokemon for Regice. This pokemon is a symbol to meet at a street corner to get the much anticipated bag of white powerdy Suicune.
The final example of the drug themes linked throughout the generations of pokemon is, Oxicotton. The pokemon responsible for the first appearance and realization of this pill-like drug is, Cottoney. It is obviously a Tree type pokemon because we all know that cotton comes from cottonwood trees. Oxicotton is present in the visual of this Pokemon right when you lay eyes on it. Its other and final evolution is called Whimscott and it has clearly overdosed on the drug seeing it smile so creepily and having cotton overflowing from its little brain if it has one. Its growth was stunted as well do to some of the effects of the drug.
So you see viewers, Pokemon are really trying to captivate you into using drugs of all kinds and not just ones listed. There are well over 600 pokemon up to date and have indicated themes in drugs and even alcohol usage. Parents, mind what your children are playing and mind what games you are buying them for Christmas. I would hope you would heed my warning about these dangerous little pocket monsters. After all, they are called monsters.

Some points:
“marijuana seed on its back ready to burst with schwaggy smells and poisons of all kinds”: marijuana isn’t poisonous obviously. There are no recorded cases of overdose from smoking ‘normal’ weed though.
The real aspect of oddish, the second pokemon is like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/it/5/5d/043_Oddish.png
i really don’t see subliminal messages, it has only 5 leaf and it is a radish
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/NaplesDioscuridesMandrake.jpg/220px-NaplesDioscuridesMandrake.jpg
Suikun is probably the union of 水 sui (water) and 君 kun (monarch) or maybe 水晶 suishō (crystal)
Regice come from latin regius (monarch) and ice.
Sorry, don’t have time to waste to correct other mistakes but i’ve a little advice: the black cross in your logo is a little goth / anarchist maybe a shine white one can be a more positive message for tour childs

Um, Bulbosoar’s bud looks nothing like a marijuana seed. The the leaves don’t look like marijuana leaves. Then the giant flower? Marijuana flowers don’t have giant petals. Sure, they are pink, but that’s about it. I’ll give you Oddish. But the Suicune. The name looks like Suicide. And the names does not mean God of cocaine and blah blah blah. And SERIOUSLY? A fluffy ball of cotton and you think that’s a drug reference? WTF was wrong with your childhood that you see drugs everywhere. You are the type of person to see Jesus in toast and the devil in a cereal box! Its a kids show, people. They didn’t set all this up so kids would go spend their money on drugs instead of their own products. So go get so help, and leave little kids shows alone. American TV shows have inappropriate things in them too, but you over look them because its American. Because Pokemon is Japanese, all you people see it as evil. Move on.

Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur are said to be based of this prehistoric creature: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Lystrosaurus_BW.jpg and this ugly plant: http://www.rafflesia-online.info/jo/images/stories/rafflesia.gif
Nice work putting an Oddish’s body OVER a picture of a marijuana leaf, here’s what an Oddish really looks like: http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/oddish.jpg Those leaves on it’s head look nothing like marijuana.
Suicune name is actually derived from the japanese words Sui (meaning water) and Kun (meaning monarch)and possibly the word Suisho (meaning crystal)
Regice is actually part of trio that represents elements; Regice representing Ice (like the things to put in a drink to make it cold) Regirock represents Rocks (like the stones you’d find outside.) and Registeel represents Metal (self explanatory)
Cottenee and Whimsicott represent cotten, the very same cotten we make clothes out of

I think that the only person on drugs was the author of this article. Suicune isn’t even a word in Japanese, it was made up specifically for that pokemon. You haven’t even spelled the names right. I’ll list the correct spelling below in the hope of helping your drug addled mind actually understand something.
Bulbasaur
Ivysaur
Cottonee
Whimsicott
Understand now? Oh, and Suicune is a water type, not a snow type. There is no such thing as a snow type. There’s the ice type if that’s what you were looking for, but Suicune is not this either. Fool.

I agree with Joe Reagan. Look at the characters and they are just subliminal drug references. What I think some of you immature kids fail to realize is that Japan still has it out for us. You may not really be old enough to hear fresh horror stories of people who fought Japan in World War II, but the people there just don’t like Americans. It’s a part of their culture. So now that we ban their making of weapons, they engage in this type of ‘electronic’ warfare to pollute the minds of kids and children like yourself fail to realize what a threat it is, just like a deer in the middle of the highway.

It’s not a threat because children don’t even see the references. They dont give a shit about drugs. Honestly, kids just love the characters. And as much as you think i’m ‘immature’ I know a fair bit. So yeah, even though the Japanese may have a grudge against America, why would they produce a show that is INSANELY POPULAR IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY that teaches kids to take drugs. Seriously, you just don’t think this through. Not only is Pokémon very popular in Japan, but it’s a massive corporation that makes alot of money. Why would a corporation like Nintendo want to screw with the minds of their target market? Seriously. Wow. Not only are the characters NOT EVEN NEARLY drug references, but they actually characterizes existing animals into something much more unique and entertaining. So if anything, you could say Japan is subliminally telling all our kids that their hamsters can shoot electric bolts, and you would have more evidence to back up that theory than your ‘drug’ theory. So seriously, get over it.

You have not even left your state so how can you really tell anyone about the horrors of Japan. Those people hate us and to prove the point, they murdered over 3000 Americans when we were not even at war with them. They teamed up with the Nazis, tortured China and tried to overtake the planet. Are you so friendly toward your Japanese roommie because she’s all lesbian, undressing whenever and talking around not fully clothed, hopped up on drugs like most of those other Japanese college girls over there?

Then how the hell can you sit there and talk smack about them. Everyone has been everyone’s enemy at some point in time, and considering you want to kill the Chinese yourself, you’re a damn hypocrite for complaining about what the Japanese did to China during WWII. You want to blow China off the face of the Earth, you think that China is the worst thing since Hitler to exist on Earth, and yet you’re going to bitch about someone else’s treatment to them?

Just me creating an account on this site supposed to prove how much i detest your online community. First ill start off with introducing myself, I’m Russian, Jewish and 17 years old, my interest include drinking, fighting and obviously video games, I want to be a neurosurgeon after i finish college and in my short but very entertaining life I visited pretty much all around the world, I saw hate in people, I saw envy, jealousy, and of course stupidity. I entered a church and spoke with a priest, I studied the Muslim culture and fell in love with Judaism. I embraced every culture i came in contact with, saw the best and the worst characteristic of each one and i can only tell that what you sir are saying is BULLSHIT. Yes even with caps lock, generation change and new people are born trying to fix the mistakes of the previous ones that is why only 1 person out of all Japan nation will hate Western Civilization just cause. My point is that there is no way that a person can create such a relatively well designed website created with a sole purpose of spreading propaganda against everything you see unfit is irrational.
