Pokémon

Again I say, seriously PETA, f**k you.

We've all been waiting, and now it's here.

This August Ruslan Sokolovsky recorded himself while playing Pokémon GO inside Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg, after having been made aware such activity within the church could result in jail time...

“How can one offend by entering a church with a smartphone?” Sokolovsky asked. “I decided to just catch some Pokemon in church because, why not? I believe it’s both safe and not prohibited by law. Let’s go.”

Well, fast forward to after Sokolovsky posted the video he was investigated by police, and shortly thereafter charged with inciting hatred and offending religious sensibilities. He's being detained for two months, and stands to face up to five years in jail.

What do you guys think, does the punishment fit the crime here?

This past weekend I played through Pokémon Yellow with the goal of completing the Pokédex in 24 hours or less without using a cheating device or using glitches (other than the Mew glitch). I'm no famous speedrunner or anything, I just wanted to play the game as it was meant to be played, though I did use Pokémon Stadium to increase the speed (in my opinion, using all available legitimate resources) because I would also have to play through Red and Blue to get the mons unobtainable in Yellow. It's a good thing I did too because it took me a whopping 23 hours and 40 minutes to catch all 151 Pokémon and we managed to raise $380 for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital. However, it's not too late to donate and help out some kids in need (and be entered in a raffle for some cool Poképrizes!) All info is here. Thanks guys
