Ok... who honestly believes that this movie would be rated PG-12 in Japan? Goldchaos 17:52, 30 October 2005 (CST)
- Possibly...A source on that would be good, though. FabuVinny 10:27, 31 October 2005 (CST)
- I don't believe it. I don't even believe that Japan uses the same rating system as USA ... --nYoo 10:29, 31 October 2005 (CST)
- I'm wondering if they even rate movies on that kind of scale. Here in Malaysia we only have 3 basic levels - Universal, 18 or above, and Restricted. So most of the PG-13 movies and series that come here get cut (further). According to Wikipedia: [[wp:Motion picture rating systems#Japan|]]. Hmm, it even mentions Pokémon:
- "since Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, the Pokémon Advanced movies for their sci-fi violence (i.e. the tsunami in Mew and the Castle of Chaos and the final battle with the Regis.)" (Castle of Chaos, huh?) - 振霖T 08:30, 1 November 2005 (CST)
- What do R-ratings cover in Malaysia if 18 is obviously 18-and-up? --Argy 16:12, 1 November 2005 (CST)
- I'm guessing they took whatever info that was posted on the IMDB as fact, since that's is the only source of the PG-12 rating for Destiny Deoxys in Japan. Problem is, IMDB also says Fox distributed the movie in Japan. As for the Mew and Castle of Chaos bit, one word: Movietome. Goldchaos 19:43, 1 November 2005 (CST)
