From the Pokémon Leak regarding Changes to Overseas versions

@tomie it's not even a problem it's just censors being way too retarded. like, esrb isn't going to increase the rating, nobody is going to freak out, if a character is winking.

so much of this stuff are things that like, two people would be offended by. and if they are, well, fuck em.

@tomie most people would look at the sage and think "oh he's a wise sage guy" not "OMG HE'S PRAYING IN A VIDEO GAME, KILL THE POKEMON DEVS NOW!"

@tomie there was all this stuff from fringe religious people during satanic panic shit where they said pokemon was satanic and evil or whatever but it was mostly because of the core gameplay, not these random things they thought needed to be censored.

@beardalaxy well, the censors were hired exactly because they were retarded
and look at where are we now
