Let's take a look at how the popular game of Pokemon lines up with God's word.
Um… no. It's weird to just force a religion on a fantasy world incompatible with it.
Pokemon teaches children to depend on "psychic powers"
Actually, no one in Pokemon ever does that.
and to trust in their "Pokemon" or "pocket monsters".
Isn't that good?
The "good" creatures in the game use their occult powers (which are forbidden by God),
What God? There's no equivalent of "God" in this world. (unless you count Arceus's role as a creator) And in this world, there's nothing wrong about their powers.
to overcome "evil" Pokemon.
WHAT??? DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE ISLAND OF THE GIANT POKEMON EPISODE!???? Besides, most trainers are "good," anyway.
Pokemon creatures show a power that is of a supernatural and spiritual source. Creatures such as Hypno, Mewter, and Haunter all display psychic powers.
Supernatural? No… Spiritual? No…
(unless you count the psychic type) NOT MEWTER
Just because these popular creatures are labeled "good" in the Pokemon game, does not mean they measure up in God's word.
Okay, so animals don't measure up in God's word…
To achieve your goals in Pokemon you begin to believe it's OK to cast spells,
As far as I know, no one has ever cast a spell in a Pokemon game (besides that channeler that made a space that heals your party) and no one can do it anyway.
use psychic powers,
No, the PEOPLE don't do that, the POKEMON do. At least some, but I don't even know if psychic powers are REAL anyway.
magic,
There's no magic. (unless you count the extreme wonderfulness of Pokemon's existence)
poison,
The poison used in the game isn't even fatal!
cheat, steal, deceive or kill others.
Okay, this is going over the line here…
You begin to believe these things, because many of the people who control our entertainment have lied to you, and have told you to believe that it is OK to take part in them.
Those people have NOT told us that. Who's the liar now?
Another false promise that the game of Pokemon teaches is that you can become your own "master".
Last time I checked, being a master meant being really good at it.
Did you know that all other religions around the world (except for Christianity), were brought into existence by Satan?
LIAR.
Most all of these religions teach that you can become a god (master).
ERNT. WRONG.
Remember the first big lie that Satan told in the Garden of Eden? The lie "ye shall be as gods". The Bible tells us, no one can become a "god" or a "master". This is a false promise. Satan, Adam and Eve all suffered terrible consequences for believing this lie and disobeying God.
That's different.
The New Age Movement theme can be detected once again throughout Pokemon. It is good to use your mind, but your mind should concentrate on good things, not evil things (see Philippians 4:8-9). When children play this game, many begin to get mixed-up between what is real and what is make-believe. The game becomes reality to them and pulls them into the story like they were really there. This is what the game was meant to do.
This would also be so for books, and every other video game in the world.
It is dangerous, because your mind is busy focusing on things that God hates, rather than on things God loves.
So apparently, God hates one man's imaginative dream.
Many children believe they have power at their fingertips, the power to give commands. This is magic
No. Many normal people can do that.
and it is a very destructive power that will lead only into Satan's trap.
So, being a leader is bad…
Did you know that those who call themselves "Wizards of the Coast" created the Pokemon game?
No, Nintendo did.
These wizards are calling themselves something that God has forbidden. Let me make it clear that God loves the person, but hates the practice of a wizard.
BUT THEY'RE NOT REALLY WIZARDS!!! Nor could they ever be.
These "Wizards of the Coast" are also the creators of "Dungeon's and Dragon's" and "Magic:The Gathering". These games also have many occult forbidden practices in them, that need to be avoided.
You just thought that because of the words "magic" and "dragons."
Overall, Pokemon is teaching you how to practice witchcraft and sorcery. It is teaching you to put your trust in Satan's occult forces which are in reality "demonic spirits".
Yeah right, as if. DEMONIC!??
Satan wants to attract you to these things by making them fun for you to play or watch on TV, while in a sneaky way, he draws you away from the true God who loves you.
Yeah, like every single cartoon on the planet! What are these guys on, (insert drug here)
Just remember, these things are not pleasing to a God that truly loves you!
Yeah, like fun, imagination, and happiness.
I pray that all of you who are addicted to Pokemon will decide that your Pokemon game just is not worth it!
I pray that your prayer doesn't come true.
Nothing is worth getting between you and God. If you are already a Christian, you must ask God's forgiveness from being involved in these forbidden practices.
FORBIDDEN???
Christians must separate themselves from these things.
If this is what being a Christian means, then I won't be one.
The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 very clearly to; "Abstain from all appearance of evil".
Exactly my point. Where is this "appearance" of evil?
You see, God did not put verses in the Bible to disallow us from doing fun things, but to protect us from evil.
I don't think this is what God had in mind…
You must decide who you would rather follow; God, your loving creator or Satan, the master deceiver?
Well, God, but I don't see how this whole thing's message is "follow Satan."
Do you want to learn how to follow Jesus Christ the one who loves you and made you?
WRONG!!! According to Christians like you, GOD made us, not Jesus.
As a side note, I got the Johto and Kanto starters by a trade arranged at that previously-mentioned site.

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 ?
Apologies, my younger brother snuck onto my computer and wrote this. I do not have any interest in writing pokemon fanfictions and much prefer playing the official games.
My brother tends to do stuff like this, deleting save files for my pokemon games, and such.
Apologies,
RatonLeveur.
