Yeah, but she fails to realize she and her fellows are more like the villains since, well, let's face it, they aren't saving the world and because of their clear attitude, they may be the kind of yukkuri that are actually ruining it, so, no kleptomanic hero rights for her.
I think this is more of a joke on how in rpgs like final fantasy and pokemon(yes I do consider pokemon and rpg), your character will typically walk into peoples houses and and rumage threw there drawers and garbage cans and nobody will say a thing. It also reminds me of that old pokemon joke where nurse joy say "We hope to see you again", seriosly what did my pokemon ever do to her.

No need to explain the joke everybody pretty much realized it. There is a reason why I made the whole comment of "No Kleptomanic Hero Rights for you!" on both versions of this pic.

Pay Her bills by getting hurt and assuring her job to be steady. Remember that there wouldn't be any need for a Nurse if there aren't Patients.
And yeah pokemon counts as a rpg, nobody can deny it, only hard headed fools would.

Really? I mean seriously! It has level up, random encounters, stats developing, elemental powers.
The only difference to an average rpg is that you have ot capture your "party members" since they are basically advanced pets, that and the whole theme of "duel non lethal competition between creatures that the whole world abides to."
Seriously if that isn't RPG, I don't know what it is.
[grognard] Roleplaying games are all about stepping into the shoes of your character, becoming that character and interacting with your band of fellow heroes and adventurers, traversing the grand and breathtaking world the Dungeon Master creates to entertain you.
What you're thinking of is a "Roll" playing game. Completely different. Completely the wrong way and everytime you roll dice instead of acting out your character's actions and motivations you make Gygax roll over and cry in his grave. [/grognard]

That's doing the typical mistake of comparing free tabletop/paper rpg with video game rpg and not realizing that they have differences, but it doesn't make any of the 2 (usually the video games from the hardcore rpg fans perspective) any less of a rpg.
With some of the video games rpg, you may not always be allowed to make a 100% personal character, but we still are given a role to play and enough freedom to dictate that characters actions to some degree, even if railroaded, but truth be told even a railroaded game is still a rpg game. RPG isn't always about freedom, just giving you a role, let you develop it to some degree of pesonalization (even if not outright 100% your own thing but more than playing an action only character with no degree of stats, name, equipment change.)
Pokemon is a RPG because you are given the role to be the pokemon trainer, how you do it depends of you, there is the obvious basic railroad to follow, but the railroad won't dictate your name, the pokemons you have or prefer, your starter pokemon, if you participate in some of the side quests, if you fight online or not, etc. Again, the only difference, in video game sense, from other rpgs is that you have to "capture and tame your party", it started darn restricted but as the years went on, more and more options were given spreading further the game's options, to the point that now a days you can make a semi personalized Trainer ID to fight online battles.
Hell it's not like even in tabletop games you are always allowed to make a 100% personal characters to role play as with complete freedom, many times the GMs have an already predefined set of characters to pick from since the game dictates the need of that, and that without incluiding the railroaded games with or without free characters.
(For once I'm adding the wall_of_post tag myself.)

I know you're just joking, but it's still amusing anyone would say that, considering that the original Dungeons&Dragons evolved from wargaming, which is ostensibly not about roleplaying.
