Well, me and my Dad got into a fight last night about this. He hates Pokemon, thinks it's demonic, so I thought I would show him one of the articles he likes to print off and shove in my face all chopped up with the actual facts about Pokemon underneath the bias quotes from the article.
http://www.fillthevoid.org/Children/Pokemon.html
The first problem with this one occurs in the first paragraph… and then continues throughout the entire article. Hmmm… who could have guessed.
Pokemon teaches children to depend on "psychic powers" and to trust in their "Pokemon" or "pocket monsters". The "good" creatures in the game use their occult powers (which are forbidden by God), to overcome "evil" Pokemon.
Ok, children do not depend on psychic powers. There are 9 different types, one of which happens to be psychic.
Evil Pokemon? Sure, there are dark Pokemon that you could call evil, but just because you are battling someone does not mean they have evil Pokemon.
such as Hypno, Mewter, and Haunter
Mewter? Is that a new one? Just thought that was kinda funny. Ignorance… strike one.
To achieve your goals in Pokemon you begin to believe it's OK to cast spells
When did Pokemon have anything to do with casting spells? Show me one card that ‘casts spells’! Ignorance… strike two.
Another false promise that the game of Pokemon teaches is that you can become your own "master". Did you know that all other religions around the world (except for Christianity), were brought into existence by Satan? Most all of these religions teach that you can become a god (master).. 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.
LOL. I am the master of my dog. Does that make me a God? Here is the word ‘master’ in the dictionary…
The owner or keeper of an animal: The dog ran toward its master (dictionary.com)
Just because there are different definitions of ‘master’ that doesn’t mean you can pick which one Pokemon meant to use. Ignorance… strike 3. That ones out, but I will keep going, just to entertain myself.
Many children believe they have power at their fingertips, the power to give commands. This is magic and it is a very destructive power that will lead only into Satan's trap.
They have the power at their fingertips because the cards are in their hands. They play with the cards, use the cards, they don’t command the cards. I think most children realize the cards aren’t going to spring up and shoot out fire. Ignorance… strike 4.
Did you know that those who call themselves "Wizards of the Coast" created the Pokemon game? 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. 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.
Since when did WotC create the game?! They print the cards which are translated from Japanese. Ignorance… strike 5.
Overall, Pokemon is teaching you how to practice witchcraft and sorcery.
As soon as I get some proof from someone that understands the game and can actually play it, I will believe it.
Anyways, I'm done ranting. Anyone want to add some more support? :biggrin:
