POKEMON has been banned from Saudi Arabia. I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but this is the first I have heard of it.

They claim that it has had a detrimental effect on the country's children.

Everything Pokemon related has been kicked out of the country and Malaysia might follow in their footsteps and do the same.

I think it's stupid that Kadabra was one of the reasons it was banned in Saudi!

Does that mean they'd have to ban all things with stars on them?

Have you been reading N64 mag?

Anyway the reason it was banned is because the Star on Kadabra's head, according to the Saudi Arabians, represents the 'Star OF David'.

Also because it's against their religion to gamble, and kids have been gambling their Pokémon cards in battles.
