Apparently it’s from Fark. Funny, especially if you know the Pokémon games. 
It begins with “You encountered McCain!”. If you catch it in the middle, just force a refresh of the page to see it from the beginning.

This is the best article about the subject matter I’ve read, so far:

In the state of Michigan, U.S.A, apparently a law forbidding the sale of “mature” (you know, what in a movie means PG, but in a game means M or even AO) games to minors passed. Even though it’s unconstitutional.
But, surprisingly, the video games industry is fighting back. For a change. About time, IMO.
Apparently, a jury in Alabama, U.S., was somehow sane and didn’t buy into a cop killer’s “video games made me do it!” excuse.
