"Nintendo doesn't want people to think that i'm in any shape or form affiliated with them or that I have a partnership with tmhe, and it all comes back to me being an adult entertainer. Pokemon is a family-friendly company and they don't want that to at all to ruin their reputation. "
"Obviously that really sucks, but from a business standpoint I have to understand it and accept it because I f****d u"\
