removed only the most blatant things for now; don't add visible comments, especially telling others to not revert your edits, that one line about "Soviet fanatics" is enough, and I don't need to explain what's wrong about the rest

-I slightly edited my revision. Please don't revert as i added worthwile info i got from the Russian internet. Please if the text is messy, you just make
-it less messy.
 The Pokémon franchise first reached '''{{wp|Russia}}''' in December of 2000, when [[EP001|''Покемон! Я выбираю тебя!'']] premiered. In Cyrillic script, Pokémon is written as '''Покемон''' and its plural is '''Покемоны''' ''Pokemony'' (ENG: Pokemons) and is [[#Pokémon and grammar|fully inflected]].

 ==Pokémon games==
-At first, [[Nintendo]]'s original Game Boy was popular in Russia, but Pokémon games were rarely found in shops. The only relatively popular Pokemon games were the ones for Game Boy Advance and [[Pokemon GO]]. The games were distributed by "Noviy Disc", Nintendo's official distributor between 2006 and 2011, and games would usually become available long after the European release and at a more substantial cost. This situation changed when Nintendo of Europe opened its office in Russia; they stopped working with "Noviy Disk" and began working with a new distributor named "OCS", and Nintendo opened their own online store. 3DS games were then available for sale on the official store '''[https://mir.nintendo.ru/ Mir Nintendo]''', though they may also be found elsewhere. {{g|X and Y}} were the first Pokémon games to be released in Russia at the same time as the rest of the world due to the introduction of the Nintendo online store. Pokémon video games are not localized in Russian; however, there have been a few fan translations of the GBA games circulating among Russian fans.

-Everyone forgot about Pokemon until [[Pokemon GO]] came out. Because of that everyone got into Pokemon again.
 [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Online]] is the only Pokémon game translated to Russian so far, with only some older and some cards not yet released in Russia being left in English.
-==Soviet Fanatics==
-Soviet fanatics are uneducated people from Soviet Union who hate every non-Soviet cartoon and hate even Russian cartoons made after 1991.
-There are many blog articles and forum threads circulating on "how Pokemon is bad for the kid's psychics and how it makes the kid go aggressive" created by
-these Soviet people. (e.g "Battles look like dogfighting!", "Don't watch it! Because demons possess you into doing it!", "I spank my kid everytime he sees a non-soviet cartoon!!!", "Occultism!!!", "Aggresive and violent behavior modules!", "I let my kid watch only soviet cartoons!", etc")
-These were the people who filled complaints about cancelling Pokemon and freeing the kid's psyche to ORT.
-==The Earliest Pokepastas==
-Yes, this is true. The pastas were written on the {{wp|yellow press}} and there were 2 of them.
-"There was one girl who loved to play with her Pokemon. When she went to school, her father discovered that all the toys except the Pokemon were destroyed. Then he had to ground her. Then at night, the girl came and stabbed her father in the throat with a fork. The father went to reanimation and the girl went to asylum. When scientists analyzed the toy, they made out the sounds it was making: "Kill it! Break it!"."
-"When analyzing the scene from [[EP038]] that gave kids seizures, i saw a katakana symbol." Then there were rumours about that katakana and subliminal messages scattered all over the press.
