SUMMARY:

The proposal is to analyze the moral discourse legitimizing the capture and battle with pokémon, in the game Pokémon Black (2011), based on the multimodal analysis of discourse, in its sociosemiotic approach and how it appears in Van Leeuwen. The fundamental concept of the entire proposed analysis is that of legitimation. The aim is to answer the question: how does the Pokémon Company, in Pokémon Black (2011), in a multimodal way, use, make explict and convey a moral discourse that legitimizes the actions of capturing and battling with pokémon? To answer this question, a methodology is constructed, in which Van Leeuwen’s discursive theory and Edward Muir’s historiographical theory converge, characterized by the association between evidentiary paradigm and the abduction theory. The following results are expected: in Pokémon Black (2011), the values of strength, difference, and complementarity, used in legitimizing the practices of capturing and battling with pokémon, along with certain visual elements of the game, trigger the moral discourses of budo, that is, papanese martial arts, and yin-yang, in which there is no clear and distinct distinction between good and evil.
