Ten Most Disturbing Entries In the Pokedex (2)

At first glance, it doesn't look like there could possibly be anything creepy about Delibird. After all, it's a bird version of Santa Claus, and it's even waving hello! That's adorable! Unfortunately, as cute as it might be, it also has a description that reveals some of the more questionable pieces of morality in the Pokemon universe -- and considering that this is a world where ten year-olds are sent out to wander from town to town getting in super-powered cockfights and busting up international criminal organizations, that's saying something.

Here's what the Pokedex has to say about Delibird:
"It nests at the edge of sharp cliffs. It spends all day carrying food to its awaiting chicks."

Again, nothing weird about that, until you start thinking about the fact that you just stumbled across an animal that was carrying food for its hungry children and either beat it senseless, or beat it senseless and then stuffed it in a tennis ball. Congratulations, kid! You wanted to beat Brock, so now there's a nest of baby Delibirds out there that are going to starve to death in the cold wondering where their mother is.
