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.

Texts that are slightly odd to read when you're a Giratina Cultist who considers cutting Giratina's name into your thigh. (For the record, that's more just general mental illness than something related to the pokey mans - Giratina is simply a muse for my own menhera, but those types of Christians operate more on fear than logic.)
I am glad this website is still active. I used to spend hours reading this website when I was younger. I was particularly fond of the marquee of doom! I took inspiration and made my own webpage back in 2008 (it was called pokemon-nonsense) but that page is long gone. I am now 31. Just wanted to leave a comment!
Thanks, glad it's helpful!
The site has been here since 2002; this particular guide is from 2010. I'm guessing you were looking at the last modified date on the page? I did a general backend overhaul last year that unfortunately resulted in everything being shown as last modified on that date, so a recent modified date does not necessarily mean the actual content is recent.
Replaying heart gold for the first time since I was like 8 (genuinely have no clue how I managed to beat it back then lmaooo). I'm only on the fourth gym rn but this is still pretty helpful!
Anyway I mainly just wanted to say that this website is so cool!! The guides are rlly detailed and the ability to change the background colours is awesome! :-D
Thank u for making this, I was half expecting this site to be from like the early 2010s so I'm shocked to see it was made so recently :-0
Hi ur sites rly cute and nice and i like the catch rate calculator lol
I’ve been trying to catch a 1 hp azelf for 2 hours how have I not caught it yet I hate this game (/j)
Most everyone does. I'd say more people speak English here than Icelandic, actually, since at any given time there are a lot of recent immigrants who haven't had a reason or chance to learn Icelandic.
I'm probably not the best person to ask about hotels in Reykjavík either! I just live here; I have never had to book a hotel in my own city.
For things to do in the city, I tend to take friends up in the clock tower of Hallgrímskirkja, see if they want to try to go whale- or puffin-watching, and might also suggest things like the whale museum (which has a bunch of full-scale models of whales that give you a much better sense of the size of these creatures). Also, Brauð & co. makes excellent cinnamon rolls.
Do many people in Iceland speak English?
What's the best hotels that are good while being good value for money and not too expensive in Reykjavik? And what are the best things to do on holiday in the city?
but you know who WILL probably try to cover it in the next couple months………………..
I enjoyed the Medal Rally during my own playthrough; never played all that much Pokéstar Studios. I'm afraid those aren't a high priority for me as content goes - I don't really think I'd have anything to say or contribute about these features that wouldn't just be looking up information that's already been dug up by others and repeating it, which generally isn't a type of content I go for.
Hi, what did you think of the Medals and Pokestar Studios in Black and White 2?
Personally, I liked Pokestar Studios much better than the Nimbasa Musical.
I'd love to see a guide for the Medals, Hidden Grottos, and/or Pokestar Studios if you'd like, but I know real life takes priority and you have a baby/toddler Caterpie now.
I GOT PYROAR AND IT’S ONE OF MY FAV POKÉMONS HEH
Very fun read! I didn't know about half of them
I'm the last person to oppose to dirty jokes but I feel quite innocently about the intention behind the "hook" line? Personally I feel it was intended just as a cute metaphor for upid's arrow!
Speaking about such things… no mention of the Young Couple's Onix and Cloyster…?!
I loved the original as a kid. If I remember correctly, I think it was about looking for Misdreavus on Crystal? I like this version a lot too, and it's more detailed, but I think I prefer the old version (probably for nostalgia; I read that version a ton when I was maybe eleven). I really like the concept, especially since it's very slice-of-life and I appreciate that. I think the new version was from 2006-ish, and I remember when it came out. I'm so glad it's still here.
Hell yeah, Zoroark is awesome
You may have read the old version, but Butterfree didn't leave in that one either; the tone of the ending was more bittersweet, though, so that may be why you felt like Butterfree had left at the end. (In the old version, the narrator hadn't had this proper realization that the problem was they should have communicated properly about this dynamic and what they each wanted, and the narrator thus ended up still unsure whether Butterfree was truly happy to be with them, though they ended up sort of forcibly convincing themselves they had to be.)
This story scared me as a kid.
This story is absolutely adorable. I fully expected Butterfree to leave at the end, but the fact he didn't made this so sweet and wholesome. I read this years ago and could have sworn he did leave, but I'm probably misremembering.
