Banned?
Does anyone know why, exactly, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia believes Pokemon promotes Zionism? That doesn't make any sense to me. Where in Pokemon does anything remotely related to Israel appear? Jedibob5 16:56, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

- An anecdote from my friend who lived in Saudi Arabia at the time:
If I remember it was because we'd play the card games and winner would grab a card at random from the opponent. That was "gambling", and the nutty Muttawas picked up on it. It was a good example of how even us young indoctrinated kids were like: "fuck, muttawas are batshit insane. Charizard defo doesn't mean, 'death to muhammad' in Hebrew..."
- My two cents: The real reason was that Pokemon promotes darwinism. Capncanuck (talk) 02:24, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Page needs some updating
I can confirm the Pokemon TCG legal in KSA and UAE, and probably other countries too, at the present time. There's a shop in KSA selling Pokemon TCG cards (http://tcgmaster.sa.com/categories/%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%88%D9%86/), no clue if other shops sell it in there as I don't live there. Also another in UAE sells them (http://www.battlezone.me/). Khaldood (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
That Conan show
Since the article for the Conan in Pokémon world has been deleted, should someone move the bulk of info from there to this articles snippet about it? Or is it to non-notable even for that? --Jordanmon warp digivolve too...! (talk) 04:55, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Season 7
So at this point I'm not quite sure Season 07 was dubbed to Arabic, as I searched old anime discussion forums and there seems to be no information about it. I just want to point out that NEW TV also aired anime in English and might have aired season 07 in English and that's what created the confusion, while the Arabic dub had in fact been cancelled after AG040.
