I obviously don't think this will be a popular thread.

But I was a bit surprised at the amount of posts people have on the Disney thread being Satanic.

Here's a quote from the Christian Coalition.

"Demons are instructing the Nintendo and Hasbro companies on how to corrupt a child's innocence and create a future army of junior Satanists that will one day rule the world!"

Pokémon is in the 2008 Guinness book for all the world records it has, being the most popular video game RPG, etc (where I got that quote from).

I obviously understand the vast majority of you don't know Pokémon like you know Disney.

In any event, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Pokémon has been criticized by members of the religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam; Christian concerns over Pokémon have primarily concerned perceived occultic and violent themes as well as the concept of "Pokémon evolution" (which some relate to the theory of evolution), which is said to violate creation according to Genesis. The Vatican, however, has countered that the Pokémon trading card game and video games are "full of inventive imagination" and have no "harmful moral side effects". In the United Kingdom, the "Christian Power Cards" game was introduced in 1999 in response to these claims of Pokémon to be Satanic, the game being similar to the Pokémon TCG but using Biblical figures. In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group Anti-Defamation League also pressured Nintendo to edit the image of the Pokémon trading cards for Golbat and Ditto because the cards depicted a left-facing manji, which the League interpreted as anti-Semitism, although these cards had been intended for sale only in Japan with Nintendo planning to release edited versions in North America the following year. In 2001, Saudi Arabia banned Pokémon games and cards, alleging that the franchise promoted Zionism in violation of Muslim doctrine. Pokémon has also been accused of promoting cockfighting and materialism. In 1999, two nine-year-old boys sued Nintendo because they claimed that the Pokémon Trading Card Game caused them problem gambling.

Well I saw the 10th, 9th, and 8th movie yesterday and I liked it! :]

jesus said.......if you love anyone more than you love me, you're not worthy of me.

many people love pokemon more than jesus

i heard a preacher say.........pokemon means "pocket demon"......a demon that you can carry in your pocket (just right for children)...........but i can't confirm this

Yeah pokémon stands for pocket monsters, so monster = demon close enough.

I dont know,,but if Christianity was taught like it is suppose to be,, we wouldnt have to trip about little cartoon character's

I second that.

I guess my kids are doing well then because we don't have even Nintendo in our home.

But these cartoon characters are no longer the innocent cartoons of the past.

I feel so sad that the kids today don't have the wonderful programs that people in my generation grew up with.
