I think the problem is not them following their conviction (every Christian have rights whether they thing something pop-culture is good or bad, that's their own free will). The problem begins when they enforce their conviction towards other Christians, and questioning whether these Christians are true believers or not (due to not having the same convictions as them). While not the same issue, the Bible spoke about this issue in the Book of Romans, Chapter 14.

1) Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2) For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3) Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4) Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5) One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6) He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7) For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8) For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9) For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10) But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11) For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12) So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13) Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
14) I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15) But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

It's lengthy, but in summary, it's about how it's okay for Christians to follow their own conviction in some aspects of life (i.e. pop-culture), and we should respect the conviction of our brothers and sisters who are with it or not; as long we don't judge them because they don't follow the same conviction as us, because all of us are brothers and sisters in Christ.
It's really sad to see how some Christians (due to their legalism and fear festering in their minds) see pop-culture as something irredeemable, because it can be used as something fun and good. They're not harming how people see them, but they are especially harming our brethren over conviction differences. I hope I give info needed, and take care.
I've wondered about this for a while. Great explanation!
I used this to memorize & recite pokémon in natdex order in high school, truly proving to my psych that I was Not Autistic™️.
Been using this guide to help me get back into pixel art. So far it has been a blast \(^_^)/
Facepalm
I don't know if I have the brain capacity to memorise all of the pokedex numbers but I'm sure it'll be fine.
Thank you so much for this, I guess I did just get really unlucky with Regirock.
Any backup musical ideas in case the Pokémon Company sues you?
If I could get away with it, it would be Morphic: the Musical :P
Butterfree, if you wrote a Broadway musical yourself, what would it be about?
Shiny verification 'mon!! :O AAAA
Hope you're having a great vacation, Butterfree! ^^
Not to be rude, but what goes on in your head?
Scyther, apparently
Amazing. The funny thing is I was actually at a theme park yesterday (Tokyo DisneySea).
I had a dream that a "TCOD theme park" went viral. This still not existing or anything, but u started doing a bit where youd write about a TCOD theme park in an update. Youd be like, had this crazy customer experience today at the TCOD theme park, & then youd specify its location which was just on the cusp of being in a realistic major city but at a more out of the way address. So these so called customer stories started going a bit viral, but of course the inevitable followup question people started asking is "What's the TCOD theme park?" And youd just be like yeah come by the TCOD theme park its at ABCDE. And then the end of the dream was me taking the bus past that street & hearing other passengers say "Isn't the TCOD theme park supposed to be here?" LOL
I absolutely notice the redundancy in this proposed nomenclature roflll.
… And then I had one of those recursive dreams where I came to the site to tell u this, but your years' april fools prank was to change it to one of those pkmn news blogs back in the day that wanted to be serebii or kotaku & it had a personalityless white layout (NOT TO GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS). And you had labelled these posts with like a bunch of pretend new site staff also. And I was like alright let me just get past the april fools update to the guestbook.. but then you were impossibly rarely slow taking down the update, so I was like… Isnt it past april fools day now….. & it was like the 4th. & I started to get concerned about the permanence of this update ROFL.
So that's my incredible quantity of post-late night dennys haze TCOD dreams. 😂 (I don't even live in the americas… My country is like a complete regional isolate with like a leaderboard quantity of dennys branches.)
Hello, your favorite Pokémon is Scyther, what's yours?
Reminds me of my brother back in 2004. I used ta like hide my Pokémon games from him, way afraid he would delete my data and stuff…good times…
There should be a new personality quiz that’s more up to date👌
Not exactly; just get familiar with the route, do a few trees together like suggested in the guide to avoid flying between every pair of trees, and as you do it you'll get quicker at it.
Oof… that is going to take a while, any recommendation to make it fast ?
