10 Most Controversial 'Pokémon' Characters
Pokémon has, without a doubt, some of the more memorable characters in anime, but these characters were a bit too controversial for fans.
When Pokémon first debuted in 1996, the series had 151 unique creatures for players to capture, train, and battle with on their quest to become regional champions. Each design is unique, drawing inspiration from animals, people, mythology, and even inanimate objects, then enhancing them with elemental flair. Fast-forward thirty years, and the franchise has grown to over 1000 Pokémon.
