Jesus vs Pokemon, part 1: Let the battle commence
Friends,
Last year we published an article explaining the dangers of the new kid-craze called “Pokemon” – thanks to your donations and prayers we have made great progress in ridding it from America. Unfortunately Pokemon is still on sale: Nintendo seem to show no plans of withdrawing this product, despite the harm we have shown it causes.
In the fall 2007 parenting guide STR.com sent to all subscribers we used this graphic illustration to demonstrate the harm that can be caused by exposing your kids to the demonic Pokemon.
2008 was a great year for our battle against the Pokemon: Jesus gave us the strength to have all Pokemons removed from the local toy store near STR HQ. He did more than that: He gave you, our readers the wisdom to forever banish the evil Poke-men from your homes. We received this letter from Fran, a long-standing STR prayer-club member:
to:shelley@shelleytherepublican.com
from:fran@christianmom.netDear Shelley,
The other day I heard my oldest boy talking about his Pokemon-game. I heard him speak boastfully to his younger sister that he was the the most powerful “pokemon trainer” in the land because he had collected two-hundred and fifty poke-men, and that he was the king of the world.
Just then I remembered what you said about Pokemon’s un-biblical influence on kids – that it encourages them to commit the sins of pride and greed and distracts them from Bible study. At that moment I knew my parental duty. I went to the shed and got a heavy-hammer from my husband’s old tool-box. I annointed the hammer with some Holy-Oil and said a prayer: “Jesus, let this hammer be guided by YOUR WILL and YOUR JUDGMENT”. Just then I felt the Holy-sprit seize control over my entire body, and I knew it was time to go to work:
I went to my son’s room where he was playing that idolatrous Nintendo and told him that Jesus had revealed to me that he must smash his game-boy and repent of his sins.
“No mum!”, he cried, “It took me a whole year to save up for that”, complained my son. “Please, no!” he begged – but I knew that was just the demons inside of him talking. I grabbed his arms, and with his hand inside mine we clasped the shaft of the hammer and brought the hammer down heavily onto his Nintendo. It shattered to tiny peices with a deafening crash.”No!”, he cried again, as Christ’s hammer pulverized the evil games-console, “No!” he shrieked again as the judgment of God reduced that foreign-made contraption to dust and splinters.
Finally, when it was all over my son lay sobbing in his bed. The game was just a collection of broken parts on the dented table table. I prayed to Jesus, offering my thanks for giving me the strength to do what had to be done. I knew that in time Jesus would make my son thankful: He would come to appreciate the tough decision I had made, for today his soul had been saved from the evil Pokemon.
Thank you, for keeping myself and hundreds of moms informed about the dangers of Pokemon. If I had not read your article my son would still be playing this game today, and who knows – he might have become a homosexual or a terrorist!
Thank you Fran – you are a true Christ warrior. You did the right thing: By destroying that Nintendo you have kept your son safe from eternal damnation. Your courage serves as an inspiration to others whose children have fallen under un-christian influences.
In part two of this series, we will look at the children who were not as lucky as Fran’s child: What of the kids who fall under the influence of Pokemon and do not have a caring Christian mom like Fran to protect them.
Yours in Christ,
Jimmy Goddard

Well done, Fran. You are an inspiration. More good Christian mothers have to stand up and do the right thing. You probably saved your son’s life!
Shelley
Jimmy,
thanks for this enlightening article. Let’s not forget where the Pokemon comes from: Japan. They don’t believe in Jesus in Japan, they don’t subscribe to the morals of the Bible and the last thing I have heard they are worshipping a whole boatload of gods (god of work, god of traffic, god of laundry), it’s just ridiculous. What can you expect from a country that allows teenager’s dirty underwear to be sold in vending machines and students prostituting themselves for the latest Sony xBox?
Just shameful. I hope some they they will accept Jesus in their miserable little lives.
Shelley
shelley your so full of shit and your just plain tragic thank goodness for atheisim and shelley you do drive people to atheisim thank goodness that i finally realize that is no god nor jesus ever existed like i said thank goodness for atheisim cause goodness knows that i am tired of being lied about god’s and jesus existance they never were real and they are’nt real.
“thanks to your donations and prayers we have made great progress in ridding it from America.”
Nope, Nintendo´s sales numbers are high as ever.
And LOL at that picture.
“2008 was a great year for our battle against the Pokemon: Jesus gave us the strength to have all Pokemons removed from the local toy store near STR HQ.”
LOL. Oh wow, talk about a drop in the bucket.
“The other day I heard my oldest boy talking about his Pokemon-game. I heard him speak boastfully to his younger sister that he was the the most powerful “pokemon trainer” in the land because he had collected two-hundred and fifty poke-men, and that he was the king of the world.”
Hmmm. Seems like normal behaviour from a child.
“Just then I remembered what you said about Pokemon’s un-biblical influence on kids – that it encourages them to commit the sins of pride and greed and distracts them from Bible study.

Cool. Whatever she has been smoking, I want some, too.
““No mum!”, he cried, “It took me a whole year to save up for that”, complained my son. “Please, no!” he begged – but I knew that was just the demons inside of him talking.

How frakin stupid can a person be? Seriously. She could have sold the freakin thing instead os flushing over a hundred bucks down the toilet.
And this is why religious fanatics should all be send into a freakin hospital for mentally ill people.
“Finally, when it was all over my son lay sobbing in his bed. The game was just a collection of broken parts on the dented table table.

More likely that he´ll never forget nor forgive her for that dickish move.
“Thank you, for keeping myself and hundreds of moms informed about the dangers of Pokemon. If I had not read your article my son would still be playing this game today, and who knows – he might have become a homosexual or a terrorist!”
A heathy LOL for that bullshit.
“thanks for this enlightening article. Let’s not forget where the Pokemon comes from: Japan. They don’t believe in Jesus in Japan”
99% of them anyway. Perhpas a reason why their country is so successful.
“they don’t subscribe to the morals of the Bible ”
Yeha, they have better morals than that.
“the last thing I have heard they are worshipping a whole boatload of gods (god of work, god of traffic, god of laundry), it’s just ridiculous.”
Shintoism and Buddhism. Though Shintoism is less worship but rather about living in harmony with the spirits inherent in any thing.
And Buddhism has no god, period.
“What can you expect from a country that allows teenager’s dirty underwear to be sold in vending machines and students prostituting themselves for the latest Sony xBox?”
Being the second strongest economy on the planet, with an actually higher GDP per capita than the USa and being generally well liked on the international stage. Well, that´s at least what they are.
“I hope some they they will accept Jesus in their miserable little lives.”
Why should they? They´re doing more than just fine without the destructive influence of your brand of christianity.

JAPAN FUCK YEAH!
“If I had not read your article my son would still be playing this game today, and who knows – he might have become a homosexual or a terrorist!””
Instead this poor boy might very well become the next Jeffery Dahmer….
Nearly all serial killers are very devout men who were raised by members of Pentecostal sects, fundamentalist Catholics or were ‘hard-shell’ Baptists and Methodists…
Almost all serial killers start quoting one verse after another from the Christian Bible. This shows most serial killers had strong religious upbringing, have been studying the bible for years and were still very Christian religious when they were murdering.
/True Christian
hurray, religious fanatics strike again. perhaps their brains aren’t big enough to understand that these video games are just that, just video games, not the Antichrist. I’m a Dutch guy living in Canada, I like Japan, their cars are better then your cars… and the Pokemon games are great ( if you want to find Canada on a map just go up from the U.S)
Jimmy, that article is just wonderful! A wonderful gift from the lord.
thank you son for telling it like it is, not how you (and the liberal media) would like it to be. You have grown up so much recently that you are starting to remind me of my old friend Tristan before the tragedy that befell him. Your commitment to truth and knowledge of the facts are reminiscent of some of the finest work he did for the Lord. I feel sad that he won’t be able to read this article. Perhaps if the sinners are ever pardoned, he will get to read it in heaven.
“…You have grown up so much recently that you are starting to remind me of my old friend Tristan BEFORE THE TRADEGY THAT BEFELL HIM…”
I guess ‘God Won’ then, eh Sammy?
I guess ‘God Won’ then, eh Sammy?
God always wins!
That’s the one thing you liberals will never understand.
1 problem)”…students prostituting themselves for the latest Sony xBox?”
Sony makes the Playstation, your TV, your computer’s audio system, and a lot of other stuff.
The Xbox was made by the American company Microsoft, need I go on?
2nd problem) That letter seems kinda…fake.
3rd problem) Jimmy, I recall you stating the large ‘hardon’ collider would destroy us all. It hasn’t yet, and so, this article of yours makes me question its already shaky authenticity.
“God always wins!
That’s the one thing you liberals will never understand.”
Then why is Obama now President?
I can’t even express how stupid this crap is. Pokemon is just a cartoon, it’s not freaking Muslim propaganda! Fran, he probably did chores every day for a year or something to save up for the game and he probably spent a long time building his Pokemon collection (a little obsessive i know), and you just took a freaking hammer to it. Now he will probably hate you for the rest of his life, is destroying a small insignificant game worth that? It’s not the antichrist (referencing socialist spaghetti). It’s just a game based on a cartoon series that teaches good will and teamwork and endurance to reach a goal.
“Well done, Fran. You are an inspiration. More good Christian mothers have to stand up and do the right thing. You probably saved your son’s life!
Shelley ”
You ENCOURAGE this kind of behavior? It’s people like you, Shelley, that will lead us to the next world war. I mean, you’re encouraging a mother to destroy her son’s worldly possessions here! Can you be any worse? You will forever be, to me, Shelley, a paranoid Nazi freak and nothing more than that, until you get a freaking brain and stop this insane bullshit! And don’t correct me for my language use.
IF you were listening, Fran, which you apparently were, you would know that those were cries of mercy. Ignoring a cry for mercy is a step in the direction of a torturer.
You obviously did not read the letter: The child was possessed by Pokemon demons. Fran’s timely response saved the child from Pokemon demonic possession.
Of course we encourage it: She was doing God’s work. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions.
Do you think George W. Bush wanted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan? Of course not – he had to do it because God wanted him to do it. Do you think Fran wanted to smash her son’s toy with Christ’s hammer? Of course not – but Jesus told her to do it.
Remember, this is a Christian family: Jesus heals all wounds.
Sure this kid will be a little sore that Jesus told his mom to smash his Gameboy, but soon he will learn that the blessings of the Holy Spirit are more valuable than any silly game!
God will defeat Obama. You will soon see.
You are obviously very ignorant:
1. We have not discussed the “Xbox” or any Microsoft or Sony product in this article. You are very confused, perhaps re-read it again but slowly and you will understand.
2. The letter is as real as Jesus.
3. As you know God smote the Hardon Collider. Look on your liberal Wikipedia and it will tell you that just as they switched it on it exploded. God destroyed it just like he destroyed the Tower of Babel.
#1, you guys are encouraging child abuse.
#2, there’s no such thing as a “Pokemon demon” it’s just a cartoon, nothing more.
#3, you guys are freaking racist Nazis.
(by you guys i mean the STR writers.)
And #4, I don’t think god is seriously that hateful, I think love and forgiveness for all is what he wants, not for idiots like you to start a rebellion against a cartoon that merely promotes good will, sportsmanship(ishness), and teamwork. And friendship. The “sin” I believe is just another religious invention made for even more control over thier various robot soldiers (STR writers and other extreme Christians) and does nothing but promote hate and extreme control and dictatorism.
Also, please respond to me again with an actual argument instead of just and excuse like “It’s god’s work” or “You’re an idiot liberal so you don’t understand anything”
“God always wins!”
Well, he sure didn´t win against that snake in the garden of Eden.
Or against Satan, for that manner. (Cause if he´d won, there´d be no hell ruled by Satan.)
And, of course, just look at who´s president!
“Do you think George W. Bush wanted to invade Iraq and Afghanistan?”
Iraq? Definitive yes. Hell, he ordered the CIA to outright lie so that they would give him what he wanted to hear instead of the truth. The rest is history: Thousands dead, trillions of dollars wasted and al Queida dancing in joy (that is, if they are permitted to do so by their religion) as every day of the occupation of Iraq gives them more new recruits for their Jihad.
“God will defeat Obama. You will soon see. ”
Yeah, just like the Army will defeat the Vietcong, right? Right? Oh…
“As you know God smote the Hardon Collider.”
Not hard enough. It´s due to start again in summer. And this time they will do the particle collission right off the bat, as they have already done all the other tests before those magnets failed.
I´m so loocking forward to saying you “Told you so!” when they fire it and the world keeps standing.
“The letter is as real as Jesus.”
Thanks for admitting that it´s pure fiction then.
The German Guy
Science > Religion
I was quoting Shelly, the one who supports your little crusade against a game meant for entertainment that you seem to think promotes satanism or something.
BUT, it did not create a black hole that would blow us all up like you claimed. But it is still being repaired so you still have a chance to prove we will be sucked into a quantum singularity.
As for the letter, she sounds like she was higher than a kite caught in a trade wind. So when you say real…
And poke-’man’ demons? What is so harmful about pixelated data? 010010010100111001010011010011010101101, that’s the language of the demons all of a sudden, cause that’s basically all that pokemon is.
Chris, I see no reason for this debate to disintigrate into ad hominem insults. Listen, the best response we at STR.com can make to you is to urge you to read the Bible, heed its lessons and become a better person. When you have done that, there won’t be any need to argue anyway, because you will be on our side and getting ready to sit with the blessed at God’s right hand. How wonderful!
I have read it, and I find that if you are indeed adherent, you wouldn’t be so damn aggressive to every little thing. Instead it seems like you use it as an excuse to mask your insecurities and prejudices.
Christianity is about atonement, forgiveness, and turning the other cheek. If anything all this site has been doing was slapping that cheek.
I HATE YOU! I love pokemon! Pokemon is my life!
I wouldn’t be surprised if that “letter” was a fake that the article writer made up cuz he was bored
“The letter is as real as Jesus.”
Well guys, I quess we can take this in as a confirmation!
The letter’s fake!
You dawg those stuff are fucking devil studd, yo christ for fucking president motherfuckers.
“Chris, I see no reason for this debate to disintigrate into ad hominem insults.

Sam, I’ve seen enough excerpts from the bible to know you people haven’t read it. It says in the ten commandments “Thou shalt not kill” but you guys want to kill alot of things. I will never join your side, as it seems you people are more likely to go to hell for promoting this kind of hate. And who says that after I read the bible I will come to your side? It might just make me less convinced that you guys are any sort of salvation. You need to stop saying “God hates this, god hates that, god’s hitlist” I think he’s more forgiving than that! But, I guess there’s no point talking to you since you’ll probably just say “Read the bible, get a gun and kill homos and muslims”. If I remember correctly, satan was the one who had all the hate. You people fear everything. Why can’t you just accept some dang change? You.. you’re like the ancient romans for pity’s sake! That’s all I have to say for now. Please respond to me with something other than “Read the bible and join us”.
WOW,what a bitch,i love how all these religious types go against there morals.
ps you guys worship an evil god cuse hes the creator of all things according to you,so there for he created evil and thus hes the creator of evil >:3
YOU SHE DEMON! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING TO THAT CHILD! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL! I HATE YOU! YOU DESTROYED A GAMING CONSOLE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION! HOW COULD YOU? YOU ARE A CRUEL BEING. I HOPE YOU BURN IN THE DEEPEST CIRCLE OF HELL YOU BITCH!
Your all stupid fucks buy japanese it’ll feel so good almost sinfull. Americans are too busy eating apple pies and hot dogs to realize the true orgasmic beauty of having all 1,000,000 pokemon in the palm of one’s hand. Allow the power of Lord Pikachu to consume you raw, as that is his will. We await the days of the stars final alignment, when the thunderstone reaches Lord Pikachu, and he will evolve into Emperor Raichu. Great stupid rednecks will be amassed and anally raped by a thousand small rodents. They have tasers, and lasers, and phasers. Do not infringe upon the great Pikachu’s will, or he will eat you and your daughters and sons whole.
The Emperor of Japan, Lord Pikachu has plans for America. He will turn it into his own gay bar, with every single man and woman seeking only the same sex. He will ensure that he makes clones and aborts all of them for his own personal entertainment. Your fears of liberals is nothing compared to what Pikachu will do to your faces.
I leave you with these words: watch Japanese, play Japanese, eat Japanese, worship Japanese and furthermore, be Japanese. America is dead. LONG LIVE LORD PIKACHU!
No offense…but you are crazy! Destroying the DS because Jesus told you to…wow…
I just read this article and I just wanna say… WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!? do you realice that what you are doing is called FANATISM?!… damn… I understand your good intentions but Pokemon is not Demonic or a Satan cult?… Your whole fanatic attitude make me sick!, Im a chiristian and Im very proud to say Jesus is my one and only savior but that doesnt mean we shouldn enjoy LIFE! did you ever noticed that pokemon teaches childs about sharing, companionship, care, love and competitive spirit, God doesnt need any help to make this world better,You need to stop acting like you have a “divine quest” cause its BULLSHIT!, You should take some time to reflect about your so called “life pourpuse” and maybe happen to realice that pokemon isnt that bad at all. Instead of hurting small kids by STEALING their games (cause thats what you are doing) you should be fighting against REAL problems like drugs or war… damn… you wanna help christianati? then get out of your home and start sharing the God’s word with the people who really need it like people in prisions or poor people… that way you are REALLY helping and not just being an asshole!
I hope you can change your mind about writing this kind of things and start being a real chiristian
God bless you all
i have a Qustian. How is pokemon evil. how did you get to that conclushion. I am a minister who has heard this argument many times. but never looked in to it. I need to know some facts about the game.
thank you randy.
Jimmy, Get a GRIP!
Pokemon is a cartoon featuring someones imaginations, not some evil satanic bloody cult from hell.
And that picture is just… wow. Pokemon isnt at all like that. You should experience it before jumping into conclusions.
It’s a horrible waste of money for a mother to smash a gameboy. And it’s even mroe horrible when I learned that a kid used his own money for that. If I was in the kids place, I’d smash this so called ‘christ’s hammer’ into smithereens. (don’t ask how but I can and I will <_<)
And to some of your replys, “OBAMA WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED BY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT EVEN EXIST!”
And you said Jesus is telling people to do his biddings. I mean get real, how could anyone nonexistent order someone around? And how is he ‘healing wounds’ when he is telling others to smash pokemon merchandise and all sorts of stuff? I personally dont believe that child suffering from demonic influences had anything to do with pokemon. And generally speaking, he could have just had a mental disorder or something, hardly doubt he’d be possessed since spirits DONT EXIST!
Now you’re calling pokemon ‘some silly game’. This is just as much bullshit I expect from the Holy Blessing. If anything is silly, it’s this belief of thinking pokemon is evil.
Call me ‘the hand of Satan’ if you want, I don’t care. I just find the fact that Pokemon is possessing young children is outrageously stupid.
in israel they dont worship jesus so what are you gonna say next “Israel will explode from the power of christ”
Why don’t you just let people be?
umm jimmy about the point you made. Yeah the second one!
Jesus is not real I’m afraid to say because I do not believe that a carpenter’s son led the world and made it better. You stupid idiot!
I am honestly offended at this site and sites like this. Pokemon is about as evil as an apple pie, which is to say not at all. If you want to debate with me, do some real research on Pokemon, such as play the game. If you actually find any real proof and take a picture of the instance, I will no longer debate your issue. Also bear in mind that it is a Fantasy World.
You guys are afraid of a little video game? You guys are fags.
Gotta love how the religious fanatics yell unwarranted claims to justify their actions. Plug your ears and yell “he was possessed by demons!” all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that the “Christian Mom” thought that her own arbitrary and likely false set of beleifs allowed her to do anything she wanted to to her son as long as it was in “God’s Name.”
But let’s seem some evidence, shall we? Under the mindset that this woman operates with, I could start eating kittens and that’d be a-ok so long as I “did it for jesus.” Don’t use lame excuses that can’t be proven true like spirituality to justify any heinous action you may take. I don’t think Jesus would want you to, anyway.
And let’s clear a few things up. If you want to bash japanese culture you have a problem in that Japan is doing a heck lot better than the U.S right now. Don’t insult a country if it’s doing better than your own. It makes you look pretty bad…
This site is obviously satire. Read #4 in the terms and conditions.
Does any of ye listen anymore? This is excatly the fighting that the bible warns us against! We as true followers as christ are to love those of the godly and even love those of the ungodly, despite them being evil of heart and soul. But have you pulled sheep over your indulgent and sinful ears? “Pokemon” Demons would only exist in an radical faith that belives that man can craft demons to fit thier role. While it may be true that thier is an unusal amount of sinful childern now days, I can attribute this to nothing more than the uncaring and godless pagan parents that exist now. However, ye have forgotten that witches have existed in the bible and we are instructed not to suffer yet an which to live. What is more is that you have despised the little ones which in Mathew 18:10 tells us not to. Your actions are an disgrace before god almighty and you should now go to pray for his forgiveness, for although I forgive you, this fighting is to be left to the pagans fighting among themselves. Amen.
THIS NAILS IT GOOD WORK
I will NEVER pray for forgiveness.
Pokemon was never evil. A worldwide known anime becoming a sin? GET A FUCKING GRIP ALREADY! What are you? A bunch of fanatics thinking Lucifer or something is building an army of pokemon against God?
Honestly you should get that goddamn ‘christ’ hammer and shove it down your friggen throats already. That would probably knock some sense into you.
Why must you hate Pokemon? Why do you believe Pokemon is “evil”?
I have read your previous article. This website is not worthy to be printed out and used for toilet paper. You feebly claim the liberals are evil and Satanic, and now you’ve turned against Pokemon. Can’t you realize that by evolution, Pokemon only means metamorphosis? Can’t you understand that you are the servants of the devil, not Game Freak?
Free yourself, not your children who’ve done no wrong. Seriously, you have the most effed-up arguments against Pokemon, and you are a complete idiot.
Oh right, one more thing. It’s idiots like you who give Christians a bad name.
you should be crucified for your sins against Nintendo you drug hopping idiot
On a serious note what is wrong with you
you give Christians a bad name
and more than likely your kids will probably hate you later in life for the stuff you put them through in there life now, cause i know i would, my uncle is the most religious guy i know and his kids play halo NFS ect and there still holy and there saved to so just stop and take a look around you, you know you are fried in the head when you said god, jesus, whoever told you to make your son smash his gameboy at most you could of took it when he was sleeping but doing what you did was going way to far have nice blessed day from Jesus 2.0 Enter the christrix
Okay, the guy above me says it right. It’s because of people like you that Christians are said to be morons who believe anything. This shames me. I will pray for you to stop being so serious about something so little. You’re son was posessed, eh? Why aren’t I posessed? Been playing for 10 years. No demons. Hmmm… again I remind you I am a christian. I am telling all of my christian friends to come here for a laugh.
Pokemon isn’t a new kids craze it’s been going strong since the 90′s you ignorant anusess. Also please make part 2 soon this is actually entertaining how long does it take to write a script make up names and make annoying christian sterotypical behavior.
Wow. Let’s start with a few things I see wrong there. First of all, “Sony” X-box? If you’re going to talk know your shit, X-box is by Microsoft. And it isn’t in the article, but Shelley’s first comment:
“What can you expect from a country that allows teenager’s dirty underwear to be sold in vending machines and students prostituting themselves for the latest Sony xBox?”
Second of all, have you actually seen the show these products are based off of? The show is awful, but little kids seem to enjoy it. The main rival “Gary” is portrayed as proud (7 deadly sins). We’ll start there. Second, the show teaches about making FRIENDS more than anything else… which from what I’ve seen you guys could use a lesson about. It couldn’t be any more innocent. Stop spewing your propaganda until you have some logical evidence.
give me a break! pokemon is just a game. it’s like any other fantasy game. if you don’t let your kids play pokemon what will you let them play? dora the explorer christian version? i’m christian but you really but you really have to get your facts strait. if you still think pokemon is the devil visit this website: http://www.kimsites.net/pokemon/index_main.html, it’s written by adults so don’t think it’s just some random kid writing junk.
Hi. I’m 14 and I have been watching Pokemon and playing the video games and have my own deck of cards.
I think that some people take this “Pokemon = demonic” thing too seriously. Well, if you look at all the negative points, then there are some objectionable details, but there are also good points to it.
For me, Pokemon is not demonic. It is based on things we see on earth. Pokemon are based on plants, animals, and other normal things. Call Pokemon demonic, then you’re calling all the animals and plants demonic.
Yes, Pokemon has fighting. But how come we have boxing, taekwondo, and other martial arts and we don’t call it demonic?!
Pokemon teaches many valuable lessons, such as the value of friendship, determination is very important if you want to succeed, and that the bad guys always lose.
So I think Christians are being too religious about this. My mom likes and watches Pokemon (especially Pikachu), and she’s a Christian. If Christians keep acting this way about these kinds of things and start condemning people just because they like Pokemon, then it also ruins their/our reputation.
Oh and by the way, this blog seems occulting, though you say you are “Christians”
Sigh… this person is definitely an extremist.
We’ll know when pokemon is evil when Satan, Lucifer, and/or Beelzebub rises from the San Andreas Fault with his legendary pokemon to unleash hell.
And anyways, I could always spartan laser his ass lol.
Oh wait I have an idea.
Go rant about halo lol.
This has to b satire. I’ve looked around on the site, and I’ve seen all sorts of crap that conservatives as well as liberals would think is stupid.
However, on the off chance that this site is serious, Fran deserves to be burnt at the stake. Smashing her son’s pokemon game that he paid for? What country is this, communist China or Saudi Arabia? Thanks to this little incident, that kid would probably grow up to be anti-religious.
Let’s just take a step back for one second and take a look at what that person did. She took her kid’s game, that he had spent so much time on, just HAVING FUN, and smashed it.
Now. Give your child some other toy. Something that he wants, and that you approve of. Let him have fun, let him spend a lot of time plating.
Take it and smash that too. Note that he’ll have THE SAME EXACT RESPONSE. You’re such an idiot to think that a kid that’s sad is equivalent to a demon. If anything, the demon is the one destroying a CHILD’S happiness.
Holly Molly! Fran, you have done amazing work spreading the word of God! Pokeyman is as satanic as those dang Mexicans dying in Irak! Actually, today I was walking in the street and I noticed a fag, while no one was lookin’ I punched the satanic homo filth in the head and dragged him to an alley. He was unconsious, so I went to my Chevy to get my rifle. I waited about 20 minutes and he woke up, and in the name of Christ I shouted “You satanic filth, God does not want fags like you in this world! You Evildoer! Die Devil! DIE!” I shot him until he couldn’t get up if it was judgement day. I shot the dog-dang fag ’till he was dead, and I’m proud of it for I did it in the name of God!
LongLiveTexas2009, why are you trying to be funny? It’s the lamest joke I’ve ever heard.
Wow your freaking crazy lady. i suppose i need to grab an AK-47 and “clease” the demonic spirit out of your computer. and WTF? Take a sledge hammer and completly eradicate it!? Is taking it away not simple enough? You silly christian extemist holigans :)
Oh shit I’m a gay terroist because I play Pokemon!
Plagerism time!
We all know the tragic tale of the lone Pokémon fan who is unfortunate enough to have a family member who firmly asserts that Pokémon is evil. Given the general diversity of religious beliefs and interpretations, it is no surprise that most if not all popular franchises have sprouted objections from some religious groups, and Pokémon is far from being an exception.
The subject of religious Pokémon-hate, mostly Christian, is unfortunately a rather difficult one as far as Anti-Anti-Pokémon goes, for the simple reason that they are not necessarily wrong about Pokémon in the first place. While I have never personally read a piece of religious anti-Pokémon propaganda that did not contain numerous factual errors about the franchise stemming from lack of research, this is never the root of the problem they have with Pokémon. The actual claims about Pokémon that the religious assert as fact can often be generally truthful.
“Kids who get into Pokémon might become interested in other games like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons.”
“Pokémon has magic and ghosts.”
“There are dragon Pokémon.”
“Pokémon is a role-playing game.”
“There are Pokémon like Houndoom clearly inspired by the traditional idea of demons, as well as a ‘Dark’ type.”
There are those who want to argue with this: Even if kids might become interested in Magic after playing Pokémon, it doesn’t mean they will. It’s not magic per se, it’s psychic powers, and ghost Pokémon are made of gas. The dragon Pokémon aren’t really dragons. Pokémon is more strategy than RPG. Houndoom once saved a Togepi in the animé so it’s not evil, and it’s a cerberus, which has nothing to do with the devil or Christianity. But this is ultimately missing the point; the person who condemns Pokémon for containing magic does not care whether it is called “magic” or “psychic powers”, and the actions of individual Houndoom characters in the animé are not the reason some Christians flinch at Houndoom’s design, which is so blatantly based on the idea of hellhounds that to deny this is bordering on delusional. The reason a great majority of people would agree they’re wrong is not that the above statements are wrong, which they essentially aren’t. It’s that to all of them I can say, “Well, yeah, but so what?” The problem lies in the second half of the argument, namely where the Pokémon hater connects it to religion:
“Dungeons and Dragons and Magic are evil because they blatantly contain evil monsters, demons, spirits, sorcery and magic, and they are evil because the Bible condemns them.”
“Dragons always symbolize evil in the Bible, showing subtle Satanic implications when they are allied with the protagonist character.”
“Role-playing games are evil because they let the player escape from the real world, and this process is warned against in the Bible.”
“Associating oneself with demons or representations of them is to choose evil over good.”
And this is where things have wandered into a dangerous territory. Religious beliefs are the beliefs that people are most stubborn about and least likely to be willing to compromise once they’ve made up their minds, which the religious Pokémon-critics obviously have. You can’t tell somebody who believes that something symbolizing evil in the Bible must mean it is the intention of everyone else who chooses to portray dragons in fantasy that he’s simply wrong and dragons only have this association in the minds of some Christians (and especially not in the East), or that having magic or demons in a game doesn’t mean one would ever associate oneself with any of it if it existed. Much less can one tell them, as I would most like to, that they’re taking the Bible far too seriously. I don’t know the will of the divine if it exists, and if they think they do it is really their business. It is very sad that such people push their beliefs upon their children or relatives instead of letting them choose for themselves, but there is little we can do about it because it is sadly all done in the name of religious conviction, which modern society has effectively made exempt from criticism.
No doubt an intelligent Christian could argue like this about Pokémon on theological grounds, but being an atheist I don’t consider myself qualified for this, and in any case I am rather skeptical about the ability of anyone to convince somebody to leave Pokémon alone when they hate it on religious grounds, even if somebody could put a good case against them on their own assumptions about the implications of the Bible. Essentially, people ought not to bother themselves about a random relative’s opinion of the video games they play. I feel very sorry for all children unfortunate enough to have parents and relatives with the power to prevent them from playing Pokémon if they would like to on religious grounds, because the sad fact is there is not much that can be done to convince them. Some of them may have general misconceptions about Pokémon which can be corrected, but they are rarely the root of the problem.
In conclusion, if your parents won’t allow you to play Pokémon because they have found evidence of its evilness in their interpretation of their religion, you have my deepest sympathies, but I truly don’t believe I could ever write an article likely to move them by an inch in their convictions.

Ahahahaha oh my god you are the most stupid human being in the face of all existence. I mean please for the sake of people with sanity, get a brain. Pokemon is a fun game that kids play to have fun when bored. Jiggly puff is not homosexual. They just sing. Saying jiggly puff is gay is like saying everyone that sings is gay. As for the rest of your comments, THEY ARE JUST FREAKING RETARDED GO DIE IN A HOLE. I can’t believe people actually support you. Please, do us all a favor and shut the hell up and let us enjoy our lives instead of trying so hard to take the little things that we enjoy away. I mean, I’m a christian too I don’t see the evil. You must be brain dead to think all these stupid claims. You just plain out don’t deserve more than one person supporting you or a website.
SHUT UP
And for the Mario statements you made, Mario is just a fun game where we fight evil imaginative monsters. Do you think people will actually jump on each others head because they saw a mushroom walking around and a fat plumber stepped on it? Mario is a legacy that has been going on for quite a while and you and your retarded remakes make no change in my, or many other peoples oppinion. I mean it’s not like he smokes pot and inhales cocain while he shoots his uzi’s into the goombas and blood splatters everywhere do you? NO. There is no gore, no real violence, and NO BRAIN IN THAT EMPTY SKULL OF YOURS GET A LIFE PLEASE
I refuse to believe this this a true blue serious post. I’m not a liberal, not even close: I’m a Later-Day Saint. That’s right, people MORMON. But, running on the fuction that perhaps, in an alternate world (perhaps Nabokov’s world in ADA OR ARDOR, where use of electricty is punishable by death), I’ll answer this seriously.
1) Nintendo is here to stay. There’s simply too much money in Pokemon (still) to give it up. “Demonic worshipers” or no.
2) A mother destroyed her son’s toy. A toy he earned with his own money. She had zero right to do so. Physical posseions (or lack thereof) will not get anyone into heaven. Nor will “Claiming the Lord Christ” as your savor. It isn’t a free pass. It enables you to go to heaven; IT IS NOT, NOR EVER WAS A FREE PASS. Golly. What gets you into heaven is living a nice, good life. Be kind to eveyrthing and everyone. Pay you’re tithing. Go to Chruch. Follow your beliefs, not just the easy ones. That kind of stuff.
3) Am I the only who feels that when STR writers say “God told me to” that they’re hearing Voices?
4) Using the example “It’s as real as Jesus is” is a bad example when you’ll be taking to/with Catholics and Atheists.
5) What makes an Xbox or a Playstation better then this computer you’re using for you’re silly Blog’ing? Do you know what a gaming platform is? A stripped down, specialized COMPUTER. Why than is a computer less evil then an Xbox? The use, right? THERE IS NOTHING HARMFUL IN A POKEMON GAME.
6) There is nothing violent in a Pokemon game. There is cartoon violence, at best. No blood, no cursing, no bad morals.
7) Please, for us all, don’t have an opinion about something you don’t understand.
To be honest, this seems outright ridiculous. I own and have beaten every iteration of Pokemon so far, and I’m studying to become a Catholic priest. In fact, I got the idea from playing the games! I thought, ‘If I’m this good at capturing and teaching these little creatures, imagine what I can do to help PEOPLE!’
I just don’t see the bad side of all these games. There aren’t any demons that I know of that lead people to the Church, and never before have I seen a child have anything but happiness from playing the games. Also, it seems unnecessarily cruel for that lady to have broken something that the child worked very hard for. In fact, a similar situation happened to me a few years ago. My father, in a fit of rage due to the stress of his job, smashed my Nintendo DS system, but instead of buying me a new one, which was clearly within his means and owed to be for the intentional damage of my property, he refused to, saying that I “shouldn’t have left it in the drawer”. I know that I have never looked at him the same way, and while I respect the support he gives me and his role in the household, I will always remember the more unfair and unreasonable side he showed me then.
Assuming this child is young, since anyone over the age of ten would have been able to get the game system back, that mother may have just planted a seed of resentment and anger against her, and it will come to fruition sometime in his teenage years. The best advice I can give is for this woman to replace the system she so unfairly broke to avert what may be a family disaster later.
May the Lord bless you.
I seriously doubt you are Christian. No Christian that I know is stupid enough to believe that Pokemon promotes among other things terrorism.
First of all, who’s stupid enough to believe that picture is real? It’s obviously Photoshopped, and not where it looks even remotely subtle; anyone would have to be stupid to think otherwise.
Second of all, articles like these, which wrongfully accuse innocent things like Pokemon, is what gives good Christians, those who do good things like give back to the community and are altruistic in other ways, a bad name by saying that they think everything will make everyone go to Hell.
Even though I’m Agnostic, I’m open to the beliefs of others, but when I read articles like these, I wonder whether I should cry because people actually believe this crap, or laugh because my life isn’t that miserable.
Good day, sir.
Funny stuff, guys. You almost had me fooled into believing that someone actually believed that this stuff was true. Great work of satire, guys!
I can’t tell if this is real or not, but I’m an avid Christian of a very religious family, and i play pokemon. I play it all the time. ALL the time. But I’m not possessed by daemons. Pokemon is just a small thing in my life. I read about evolution and love science I haven’t been stricken from the earth at an early age. I respect your opinion, but the world is filled with evil things, and Pokemon is not one of them. Everyone I know who plays pokemon is especially nice, and we all work together as a big happy family. I met a girl over the internet who didn’t know about god. And as we played pokemon over the internet together, I gave her lessons about God and the Bible. She’s an avid Christian now. Pokemon helps teach children to read, and has no evil spirits in it. Pokemon is just coding. If you think coding is so evil, you should smash all your electronic devices right now and go pray through saint anthony to find the sanity you have so definitely lost. Pokemon will not cause your soul to rot.
-Peace be to you, and enlightenment in God and the game and franchise of Pokemon
First of all. This is a load of crap, and I am not a Liberal. It’s EXTREMELY hard to be taken seriously as a Republican when Nazi nutjobs like you are around.
Second of all, would you go up to a child on the street and take their toy away from them? No, not unless you had some deluded notion that the toy was evil and satanical. It’s idiots like you that drove me off of religion. You’re so hypocritical. As long as you can find some crazy satanical nature to something, it’s okay to do something awful if it means fixing it.
And you feared that your son might become a terrorist. Well, you know what the terrorists think when they go and fly a plane into a building? They believe that it is the will of God, that they’re doing something good. Sound familiar?
Religious extremists are all stupid and horrible, they’re just all stupid and horrible in different ways.
Oh. My. God.
I can’t tell whether I’m meant to take this seriously or not. Honestly.
I really don’t care about your ‘Liberal” or “Democratic” viewpoints. Politics isn’t a topic i like to discuss, nor associate with something made for pleasure like gaming.
I don’t fancy your outlook on President Obama much either. You voted him there, he’s staying for his term and can do without your whining about it.
And I don’t much fancy your limited understanding on a concept created by a middle aged man assumingly suffering from Alzheimer’s Disorder, claiming it’s from the Devil as it was made in Japan.
Neither side is handling this right, and between you and me, this has to stop here.
STR and its supporters, please listen. Fran’s experience is frankly, disturbing to say the extreme least. Let’s take a look at some of your child’s actions:
1. A child saves money for a year to buy something he wants.
That’s a good thing. he’s learning that he can not depend on people for everything and that there are some things he can and will have to get on his own.
Let me ask you this: if he’d bought a puppy and was raising it on his own, would you be justified to kill it with your ‘holy hammer’ because the Holy Spirit told you puppies were Satanic?
2. the child develops a sense of pride for his accomplishment in the game.
Again, nothing wrong with this. As was said monthsd ago, this is something a child will do. Rather than destroy his source of joy, as a Christian I feel you should have sat the child down and used this to minister to him about drawing a fine line between pride and confidence, and showing him that when his confidence is in Christ, he would have the strength to endure a lot more life would offer/present to him by means of trials, temptations and triumphs.
3. He boasted to his sister about his accomplishments in the game.
OK, this is probably the one side where i’d admonish the kid. but Fran, you were no better. Paul used the people of Athens belief in an “unknown God” to preach Christ to them. You could have tried to learn more about your own son, sat him down and talked to him about the dangers of overconfidence in himself and point out that it’s only in Christ that he or any of us could bring about triumphs even in a video game.
But let’s see what you did, shall we?
“I went to the shed and got a heavy-hammer from my husband’s old tool-box. I annointed the hammer with some Holy-Oil and said a prayer: “Jesus, let this hammer be guided by YOUR WILL and YOUR JUDGMENT”. Just then I felt the Holy-sprit seize control over my entire body, and I knew it was time to go to work:
I went to my son’s room where he was playing that idolatrous Nintendo and told him that Jesus had revealed to me that he must smash his game-boy and repent of his sins.
“No mum!”, he cried, “It took me a whole year to save up for that”, complained my son. “Please, no!” he begged – but I knew that was just the demons inside of him talking. I grabbed his arms, and with his hand inside mine we clasped the shaft of the hammer and brought the hammer down heavily onto his Nintendo. It shattered to tiny peices with a deafening crash.”No!”, he cried again, as Christ’s hammer pulverized the evil games-console, “No!” he shrieked again as the judgment of God reduced that foreign-made contraption to dust and splinters.
Finally, when it was all over my son lay sobbing in his bed. The game was just a collection of broken parts on the dented table table. I prayed to Jesus, offering my thanks for giving me the strength to do what had to be done. I knew that in time Jesus would make my son thankful: He would come to appreciate the tough decision I had made, for today his soul had been saved from the evil Pokemon.”
Outside your outlandish grammar, let’s examine the key points:
1. “Just then I felt the Holy-sprit seize control over my entire body, and I knew it was time to go to work”
He took control of you? Just then? Wow… the guy who said you were high was probably right. I’ve seen what the Holy Spirit can do through people, Fran. and smashing GameBoys doesn’t count.
Please, take your Bible and read Acts 5:34-39. And think about it.
2. “I went to my son’s room where he was playing that idolatrous Nintendo and told him that Jesus had revealed to me that he must smash his game-boy and repent of his sins.”
Really?! He told you that? Again, wow. i find that a little hard to believe. the nintendo is idolatrous? nuh, uh, nope. don’t buy it. The child would be the idolatrous one if he’d made it the prime focus of his life, which constant sharing of His Word would have prevented, something I’m sure now that, with all your spirituality and closeness to God, have failed to do for the kid. “Train a child the way he should go, and he will be sure to follow it.”
And if nintendo is idolatrous, what about Sony? or Microsoft? the very company which programmed your computer’s software? Do you know their idea of a good game? Heard of Left 4 Dead (zombie apocalypse), leisure suit Larry (adultery) or the Sims (assuming the role of God)? You have no idea what you’re letting slip by right under your nose in your incessant ‘holy war’ against Pokemon!
(Note: I ain’t hating on those games, people. I’m just making a point.)
3. ““No mum!”, he cried, “It took me a whole year to save up for that”, complained my son. “Please, no!” he begged – but I knew that was just the demons inside of him talking.”
OK, and doing what you did next, instead of evangelising to your boy, as Jesus said in Matt 28:19-20: ‘Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age.” couldn’t remove the “demons” from him? Good freakin’ grief.
4.”“No!” he shrieked again as the judgment of God reduced that foreign-made contraption to dust and splinters.”
Here’s an idea: take your olive oil, anoint the GAMEBOY this time and see what happens. oh wait, you can’t you idiot. the hell’s wrong with you?
I’m going back to the Bible again, now: Prov 15:1 – “A gentle answer quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up.”
5. “I prayed to Jesus, offering my thanks for giving me the strength to do what had to be done. I knew that in time Jesus would make my son thankful: He would come to appreciate the tough decision I had made,”
I really hope he does forgive you, because the way i see it, you just gave Satan an avenue to sow a seed of discord between yourself and your son. Again, see Prov. 15:1.
6.”for today his soul had been saved from the evil Pokemon.”
Cut the psycho-babble crap. I repeat, Pokemon is a concept created by a person from his early childhood days of collecting insects. If something demonic came from that, give us details and facts to prove it beyond reasonable doubt. and after you do, let your son see these things for himself and encourage, guide and allow Christ to lead him to the path of righteousness before he loses his way.
Finally, I’ll leave you with Prov. 16:2 – “You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives.”
P.S.: Love the picture. Very children-friendly… lol.
Fanatic idiots.
On the other hand, some of the stuff you pokemon fans put on this site only add fuel to the fire, you know. Responses like this one:
“Your all stupid fucks buy japanese it’ll feel so good almost sinfull. Americans are too busy eating apple pies and hot dogs to realize the true orgasmic beauty of having all 1,000,000 pokemon in the palm of one’s hand. Allow the power of Lord Pikachu to consume you raw, as that is his will. We await the days of the stars final alignment, when the thunderstone reaches Lord Pikachu, and he will evolve into Emperor Raichu. Great stupid rednecks will be amassed and anally raped by a thousand small rodents. They have tasers, and lasers, and phasers. Do not infringe upon the great Pikachu’s will, or he will eat you and your daughters and sons whole.
The Emperor of Japan, Lord Pikachu has plans for America. He will turn it into his own gay bar, with every single man and woman seeking only the same sex. He will ensure that he makes clones and aborts all of them for his own personal entertainment. Your fears of liberals is nothing compared to what Pikachu will do to your faces.
I leave you with these words: watch Japanese, play Japanese, eat Japanese, worship Japanese and furthermore, be Japanese. America is dead. LONG LIVE LORD PIKACHU!”
make you hard to get along with, and myself ashamed to be a fan of Pokemon. Seriously, lighten up. Don’t be such a fanatic fag, OK?
Saying Jesus doesn’t exist? Well, you chose to be an atheist, no one forced you to do that. All people can do is talk to you about Christ hope and pray that He will make a change of heart come about in you.
Saying the Japs are successful because they don’t believe in Christ is bullshit too. No one is successful by rejecting Christ, and even if they are, they can’t last.
(Note to the Mormon guy, accepting Christ as your Saviour is the requirement to get into heaven. Doing His will comes with accepting Christ and the Holy Spirit to take control and guide your life, not living right. Not paying tithe. God gave those instructions to keep His children from sin i.e. the exact opposite of doing God’s will)
I applaud the reply of the 12 year old girl:
“I can’t tell if this is real or not, but I’m an avid Christian of a very religious family, and i play pokemon. I play it all the time. ALL the time. But I’m not possessed by daemons. Pokemon is just a small thing in my life. I read about evolution and love science I haven’t been stricken from the earth at an early age.

and can say that i’m pretty much the same. I’ve played pokemon for years, written pokemon fiction for years (and will do so for aa few more)designed a lot of what we call Fakemon as well. AND I’M A CHRISTIAN. I accepted Him, and though the race isn’t easy, I rely on His strength day by day to make it through. THAT is what Christians do!
and yes, i have CHRISTIAN friends who play POKEMON games, write POKEMON fiction and still profess Christ as Lord and Saviour! Whatever your problem is, you seem to be making a concept… an IDEA… your scapegoat, and universal answer for all the wrongs in the world. I mean, give Jack Thompson a look. He tried to do the same thing you’re doing to video games in general, and look where it got him?! Disbarred! Ridiculed! and If you plan to let religion takethe fall for your actions, I’m putting my foot down right here, right now!
I stopped watching the anime years ago (it got boring) and i anticipate Heart Gold and Soul Silver like no body’s business. I’m sorry, but if you seriously think that some whacked out picture of what you see Pikachu to be will stop people playing the games, accept your way of faith and become dangerous fanatics, I’m sorry, but no.
Not happening.
STR? Get a hobby. One that doesn’t involve destroying GameBoys or worse, parent-child relationships for the sake of your comfort or beliefs.
Pokemon Fanatics? Get in touch with reality every now and then. It’s good for you. And stop with the “Lord Pikachu” crap. It’s sickening.
Everybody? GET. A. GRIP.
You’re full of crap, Jimmy.
I play Pokemon so shut the fuck up. I already pre-ordered myself HeartGold wth that fancy pedometer. Take your skewed morals and shove it up where it should be. I worked hard making this a better place and you fuck it up with your “religiousness”. Obey the Commandments, let the kids play Pokemon and we’re cool.
Shelley Goodman, what you said about Japan is WRONG. When they outlawed contact with the outside world and banned Christianity years ago, years later when it was reopened it was revealed that a few Japanese families still secretly worshiped Jesus Christ.
You guys don’t really understand what you are doing, do you? Fran, you basically ruined your son’s faith in you. Shelley, if anyone from Japan reads that comment, they might be seriously offended. One percent of Japanese are Christians, and if they heard your opinions on their home country they might actually convert to a local religion.
My grandmother is the most devout Christian I know: she volunteers to deliver food to the poor, she knits for her family and the pooron a regular basis, she worships God at church every Sunday, and has even been nominated for some award for being a great citizen but would decline it, believing that the work is award enough. If she read this, I doubt she would think that this is truly sane.
I am fourteen years old, and I have loved Pokémon for as long as I can remember. You could say I have incorporated it into my lifestyle. If you were able to stop the sales of Pokémon in America, I would order it from Europe if I had to. My obsession may be a little bit unhealthy, but it is part of who I am. It is my choice for this to happen, not some demon from Hell inside of me. I am a Christian like you, but when I read things like this entry I sometimes wonder what is wrong with the world. For example, that image of Pikachu is 100% unrealistic. It would be more likely for Doomjaw (No. 666 in the Pokédex) to do that, and I just made that name and number up.
For Part 2 of the series, if you only use the bad stories, many fans will HATE this site. You can’t just change anyone’s mind. Face it, it is our choice to like it. I suppose that if you tell us we can’t like Pokémon, we can tell you that you can’t like Jack Chick. While Anti-Pokémon tendencies will always exist, you don’t have to try and force it onto others as well. I now feel sorry for Fran, as it will be hard for her son to forgive her.
Oh, and if Pokémon is banned in America because of you, you might get threats from people. Super obsessive fans can become creepy. You should know that, though. After all, you all seem to be obsessed with limiting our free will.
Hmm, I’ve seen pretty much every episode of pokemon… And I believe that there’s more blood in that picture than all 1000+ episodes combined. If anything, that picture is hugely exaggerated. That picture is probably more harmful than the entire series.
Another thing… I’m pretty sure that consitutes as threatening of a child and/or child abuse. You probably scared him half to death now. You have obviously
A) Never have been a kid before
B) Had no life whatsoever being a kid
C) Had NO LIFE WHATSOEVER
D) Had a horrible horrible abusive childhood
If you’d been throught life as a child, you’d understand how traumatizing that is to you.
1 question. Is he still at home? If that was me I would have ran away, defected from the Christian religion, and then call the cops.
Or is this email from jail?
I read this, and I’m not even christain, but I realized you’re completely right! I can see it now…
Savior Christ would like to battle! Savior Christ sent out Michael! Go, Beelzebub! Foe Michael used Holy Might! Foe Michael’s attack missed! Beelzebub used Seven Sins! It’s super effective! Foe Michael fainted! Beelzebub got 2012 EXP points! Beelzebub went to level 81! Beelzebub istrying to learn Hellfire, but can’t learn more than 4 moves. Delete a move to learn Hellfire? 1… 2… 3… Poof! Beelzebub forgot Torment… And learned Hellfire! Satan defeated Savior Christ! Got $666 for winning!
& now, without the sarcasm, I would like to say I have nothing against your religion. However, the people who think Pokesatan has possesed their child & who do stupid shit like that, I have a MAJOR problem with. I’m a pokenerd, & proud of it. One of my favorite passtimes is searching the web for fakemon. My favorite person who makes them is Christian, & he has pokemon based on angels. Pokemon was made by man, not hell.
Seriously, this article fails so much. That’s why i hate religious fanatics. Pokemon is just a(Very fun) game, not some satanic bullshit.
You belong in a mental asylum, along with all the other people you’ve brainwashed into believing this utter bullocks.
Why don’t you give me your opinion on the new Pokemon Arceus, the GOD Pokemon, hm? Is this somehow from hell? No, God isn’t from hell. What’s your opinion? I’d love to see more of your nonsensical belief. My uncle is a Priest, and he doesn’t need to go to extreme measures such as this to prove an illegitimate point.
seems somebody learned about photoshop. i want a picture of this person so i can photoshop her fucking satan, and then find a way to send it to all her pals. and to the lady who broke her sons gameboy: you were worried about pokemon turning him into a fag or a terorist, but hell, if i was him, id do it to piss you off since you woulda broke my gameboy. bitch. he needs to learn to keep you in line.
You are a terrible representative of Christ. Why would God or Jesus command you to do something like this? Just think: WHY would either of them? And “because he told me” is a load of crap and not a real reason.
Can i get all you bible humping christ dick sucking mid life crisis born again christian dumbasses in a straight line so i can blow your fucking heads off one by one, please?
I thank you for showing me the truth. Today I smashed my sons pokeyman cartridge and he let out an awful sound. I could see the demon escaping his soul through his eyes, and then he hugged and thanked me, saying that he was being tortured and he was almost sold into eternal damnation from the spirit taking over him.
But in all seriousness nothing like that would happen.
Its a game taht actually teaches postive lessons.
Teamwork
Endurance
Friendship
Love
In Pokemon Platinum, You enter the Distortion world Ruled by Giratina, and eventually cyrus starts to talk to you about how he hates emotion and love and how they are all worthless. Then Cynthia (good character) tells that they are all important feelings and that you must not hate and that pokemon are not tools but friends. Love seems to be a good Theme in these games, for some evolve by love and friendship. Now doesnt your bible tell you to not hate, love is good? Or does it tell you to smash a game that your son worked a year to earn enough money to buy because your read an article by someone who should be in a mental institution?
Hello. I find this article extremely racist. We japanese dont all wear the same underwear for weeks and dont have washing machine gods. Plus, Foreign games seem to be much better for children then american games.
Compare Please
Grand Theft Auto 4: You kill prositutes and other people
Mother 3: A game made by Sagatashi Itoi, And the main theme is love. In the end (SPOILER!!!) Your brother who went insane with revenge and was basicaly controlled by porkey, is stopped because his mother is sending him a message from heaven to stop his rampage, and she sends him on the right path. Doesnt this sound like the more christan choice?
this entire article is pure bull shit, pokemon in no way represents pure evil, gay, or a tarrorist. honestly, pokemon is the most harmless game nintendo has ever made, oh yea, FUCK SHIT BITCH ASSHOLE DAMN, nintendo has no intent of disclosing this game series because its harmless, that lady said her son said “he was the the most powerful “pokemon trainer” in the land because he had collected two-hundred and fifty poke-men, and that he was the king of the world” he is what? 6? of course a kid will say that, they want attention, and also, this is why i dont beleive in religion, or cults or whatever this site is about, it is taking the life from kids that they want to have, and trust me. satan and i are close, and he has nothing to do with pokemon
Mew mew mew! MEEEEWW!!

Ok now are you serious? I think I finally understand why I should be happy for living in europe. If I would be confronted by people like you I would need to go to an assylum because of all your crazyness rubbing of on me. But I am a bit curious what would happen if they reach pokedex entry number 666? Oh the horrors it would unleash on earth. We’re all doomed. Fanatic religious people are the reason God hates us.
Yes indeed, Way to go Fran, Way to spread your ignorance and rage upon your children.
THATS A GREAT MESSAGE FROM CHRIST.
-Christians are FUCKING RETARDED-
how could i not notice this, this site is made by a CHRISTIAN-REPUBLICAN-CULT thats y they want to ruin lives
Fran, I can’t believe what you said. You claim to have saved your child from “poke-men” (and I wanna make this known THE PLURAL OF POKEMON IS POKEMON. Not poke-men or pokemons) but that fact is that pokemon is something to keep kids entertained and was designed to enjoy, but now that you “felt Christ through your holy sledge hammer” and went to town on your poor childs game which he worked hard on (let’s face it, 250 is an achievement :)), is just ridiculous. You made him do it, as well? When’s he going to appreciate that?! Not in the near future, honey. And what made me laugh was how it was said that you tried hard and well to get pokemon of the shelves, but nintendo isn’t going to withdraw it’s most popular and best selling series for you guys (I swear, there’s like 3 of you who agree with the “poke-men” are demonic thing) who claim that metapod is rare and the most powerful in the game. Seriously, either read up on this stuff before you post it, or just let it go. You’re constantly bitching about it but you know jackshit about it. For all you know, there is a pokemon called Jesus and his attack is throwing bibles. If that isn’t for Christianity, I don’t know what is? Man, you guys are twats
so you…. are telling me that i’m playing an evil game?
my soul has nothing to do with this game. do you people realy think that this game steals souls? because if so nintendo would either A: rule the world, or B: destroyed because they are stealing souls. if anything you are crazy because you have shown your child hard work dosn’t pay off because you destroyed his game after all the work he did to EARN it.
My God, you people are stupid. It’s a children’s game, not something that will turn you child gay (Prayers for Bobby, watch that. What’s so wrong about being gay? I have gay friends) or into a terrorist. Once more, you’re a horrible mother and your son will probably hate you now because you flushed down a year of saving money and another working at the game down the toilet; not to mention IT’S JUST A GAME. I’m all for freedom of religion, but when you go this far to ostracize a GAME because you believe it’s “sinful” and “demonic” is just STUPID and CLOSE-MINDED.
P.S. Japan has a better economy than the US, they don’t promote prostitution in their children or sell their dirty underwear in vending machines. They sell alot of stuff WE think is odd in vending machines but none of it is anything like the bullshit propaganda you’re spreading. Fucking assholes.
Wow…I’m going to assume that all the fanatical craziness going on here is sarcasm and parody. Because any one this stupid would have their head blown off by their brains in an attempt to save the world a long time ago.
This is ridiculous, all you ever do on this site is bitch about how everything is wrong and God will kill you for it. And that poor little boy, saving up all his money to have is psychotic mother smash it because you crazy-ass bitches told her it was ‘demonic’.
My mom trashed all of my Pokemon stuff (not my other nintendo stuff thank Jehovah) and she thinks that it’s “Denomic”. She says that basicly to EVERYTHINH I like..I can’t have friends over, I can’t chat with no one…and she’s the drunk who all most burned down my freakin house just now! The REAL demons are the freakin tiquila she drinks. And for you mothers that are abusive and unforgiving like my mom, here are some REAL facts about Pokemon:
1: The only “denomic” about Pokemon is the Ghost and Dark type Pokemon and the fact that they fight and then faint.
2: Try protecting your children from Halloween and Christmas cuz those are the real denomic stuff. Cuz Christ wasn’t born on December cuz it was too cold. And I don’t know where the Santa and the elves and toys came from.
3: If you’ve heard about the story with the boy and the gum and the Pokemon then you KNOW that that’s a load of balony!
4: You can’t prove that Pokemon makes kids crazy and feeling like they’re the boss. Depending on what age your poor son was when he was talking to your daughter. It’s NORMAL for a child to feel proud about their video game. I did before my mom trashed my Pokemon games…
5: Why didn’t you just sell it or give it to Good Will or some thing? And I know Jesus wasn’t helping you with that freakin hammer.
6: try researching Pokemon more. It’s not bad. Unlike Transformers and Dora the Explorer which teaces children how to go exploring by themselves.
7: U R THE MOST STUPID PEOPLE EVER!!!! SHUT THE FREAK UP ABUT THESE POKEMON DEMON LIES U STUPID CHURCH LOSERS!!! GET A LIFE AND STOP ABUSING CHILDREN!! MAYBE instead of trying to make a useless point, try doing stoping child abuse and respect them instead of beating them and detroying their stuff! I feel your poor sons pain. I bet he’s sad and emo right now. You never said what your son turned out to be after that HUH? I thought so…loser
It’s people like you that make me sick to be part of this religion.
Last time I checked, Christianity is not about destroying your child’s well earned possessions, quoting some verses from the bible and saying that these things are sins, and then making some statement that makes you a hypocrite.
(“Finally, when it was all over my son lay sobbing in his bed. The game was just a collection of broken parts on the dented table table. I prayed to Jesus, offering my thanks for giving me the strength to do what had to be done. I knew that in time Jesus would make my son thankful: He would come to appreciate the tough decision I had made, for today his soul had been saved from the evil Pokemon.”
Pride much?)
Also your statements about how Pokemon is evil are hilarious. You have no proof, and criticise it because it appears to be evil and non-compliant with your skewed ‘Christian’ views.
However, if you are so engrossed in the bible, then surely you must agree with these statements:
To quote the bible: Deuteronomy 22:23-24
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of the city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
If you go so far as to make up new rules in Christianity surely you must agree that if you get raped then you should be stoned to death.
Or perhaps this: Isaiah 9:18
At the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land quakes, and the people are like fuel for fire; No man spares his brother, each devours the flesh of his neighbor.
Ah, yes, cannibalism is a perfectly acceptable practice.
Maybe even this: Deuteronomy 10:20
Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
Oh, so Christianity is about fearing God so that he won’t smite you? Oh, okay, that makes absolutely perfect sense.
And your son is going to absolutely hate you. Unless you force more of your views upon him. In which case he’ll probably have a very screwed up childhood.
Please, do us a favor and rethink your views.
Oh, and by the way, Pokemon is a game. Don’t take it seriously.
you’re beyond retarded
Listen, Jimmy. Pokemon is hardly a new craze. I remember playing it in the nineties. So not only are your views hateful, insane, and plain ol’ retarded, but they’re late. A decade late.
Pokemon is bad but yet we still have grand grand theft auto a game that has sex, drugs, killing people… But NO pokemon is the true devils work! dayum crystal Meth is a hell of a drug.
OMG Fran you are the best troll ever, or should I say Shelly.
Either way I LOLd very hard when reading this
There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Clearly this is the biggest trolling since Habbo hotel, and everyone fell for it. I lol’d, 10/10 would read again.
Pika pika?
Pikaaaaaaaaa!
okay. I’m a 14 year old, and stuff like this is what makes me doubt god. I was christian until i learned about these stupid things. I love pokemon very much, and you people are completely STUPID! The next bullshit article i’m gonna read on this site is probably gonna be all about the horrors of gay, lesbian and bisexual people! I mean COME ON PEOPLE! you think they can control that? If god really thought that was a bad thing, he wouldn’t condemn people like that. Since he’s supposed to be forgiving, and kind, why would people that can’t control their sexual orientation need to be forgiven? Because NO ONE can control sexual orientation. And you crazy fanatics are telling us to condemn people that have done nothing wrong! Let me put it in a way you could understand. Say your best friend, who you trust with the WORLD. Who you would give your life to save. Told you they were gay/lesbian/bi. What would you do? Hate them? Condemn them? Someone who you had loved like a brother or sister up until that point? I have friends and relatives that are gay or bi or whatever, and let me tell you, these things you do, in the name of whatever God you happen to believe in, is COMPLETE BULLSHIT! WHY WOULD GOD MAKE PEOPLE THAT WERE GAY, IF HE WAS GOING TO DAMN THEM?!?!? AND HOW IS HE GONNA GIVE THEM A CHANCE AT SALVATION WHICH HE SUPPOSEDLY PROMISED EVERYONE IF HE’S CONDEMNING THEM FROM THE START?!?!? IT’S NOT THEIR FAULT! SO DON’T BLAME THEM! This is completely related to the matter at hand because of the absurdly extreme measures taken for the stupidest of reasons. I hate people like you. You are the ones, that make people, like my best friend, fear confiding in people. DAMN IT! SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT EVERY PERSON SHE CONFIDES IN! IT’S ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT! I WISH RELIGION DIDN’T EXIST! AND IF YOU RADICAL CHRISTIANS WITH YOUR COMPLETE BULLSHIT DIDN’T COME ALONG, I’D STILL BE CHRISTIAN! SO FUCK OFF!
Seriously. It’s fucked freaks like you that give ALL RELIGION A HORRIBLE NAME! Thanks to your so-called “God” teling you what to do, you destoryed your son’s treasure…maybe I should take a hammer to your church and burn your Bible, bet you wouldn’t be so happy about that!
This game was a church to him, the Bible, and you had no fucking right to take that away from him. Poeple like you shouldn’t have kids if you’re going to treat them this way, and obviously need immediate mental help.
Also, to LongLiveTexas2009, what the hell? You tortured and killed a man just because you didn’t like his sexual orientation…none of your fucking business! Don’t like them, walk away! I notied too “when no one was looking…” you KNEW it was wrong, but rationalized it by saying “GOD TOLD ME TO!” and made it feel like it was something okay to do. ” He was unconsious, so I went to my Chevy to get my rifle.” Why did this person carry a gun with them? PREMEDITATED MURDER! ““You satanic filth, God does not want fags like you in this world! You Evildoer! Die Devil! DIE!”” Wait…if God DIDN’T WANT homosexuals, they WOULDN’T EXIST! God has the power to do that, he created the world and all life on it! If he didn’t want homosexuals, they wouldn’t exist!
This is the SAME SHIT that the TERRORST MUSLIMS ARE DOING! If you bastards are concered about terrorism, you MUST realize that by smashing your kid’s treasures, crushing their dremas, hopes and goals, condemning homosexuals to hell, and slaughtering people based on their sexual orientation, you ARE the terrorist! You are instilling fear, pain and suffering to get your point across, or maybe just because they don’t think like you do or have the same sexual preference, THAT IS TERRORISM, AND IT IS SATANIC, NO MATTER WHAT “RELIGION” YOU GO BY!
JimmyGoddard “Sure this kid will be a little sore that Jesus told his mom to smash his Gameboy…” does “a little sore” count for being too phobic to love again, too scared to even speak to you, and going athiest due to severe traumatic stress disorder over being so mistreated by his own insane religious mother? This is far more serious than any “little sore”!
You call people like muslims and the Talibaun satanic, and yet you are stooping right to their level, killing people and abusing your children…pity, you senseless bastards. THAT IS STILL A SIN!
FUCK! Have you idiots forgotten the commandments?!? “Thou salt not KILL”! What are you people doing? KILLING! That is something God STRICTLY PROHIBITS! God teaches kindness and forgiveness, if you actually believed that, you wouldn’t have destoryed your child’s heart and soul by smashing his Nintendo, you would forgiven him and moved on, and YOU LongLiveTexas2009 wouldn’t have tortured that innocent man.
Do you people even realize you are the demons doing these horrid acts? You ARE the demon, you are killing a child’s sesne of well being, happiness, trust and love, he will probably have intense trauma and mentla and emotional disorders from what you have put him through (and most likely with cause him to athiest because of this incident!) plus, you are also using it as an excuse to kill others (homosexuals) that IS SATANISM! Satanists kill, torture and rape in the name of their ruler, Satan, so how can you say killing, torturing and abuse is okay because God is “telling” you to? How do know that isn’t SATAN disguised as God telling you to do these things? Now…you’re FUCKED!
Such damn hypocrites try to sneak into religion to commit crimes, commit sin and spread hatred and condone child abuse…it IS wrong, BY ALL MEANS and STILL is NO BETTER IF NOT WORSE THAN SATANISM!
@LongLiveTexas2009
So by your logic, I can be walking down the street, find someone I disagree with, and shoot him full of holes? Well, we disagree, buddy. I’m just following your example… :P
You are all fucking sheep following an old ass fairy tale. Time to grow up and face the facts. There is no “God.” Pokemon is a Japanese cartoon with no ties to Satan. Is it because they evolve? Probably, but science has proven evolution is real. Why deny the facts. You think we were just placed on Earth as we look today? You are brainwashed sheep that follow the Bible. Seriously just open your mind. Ever here about the bill of rights? Freedom of speech. Pokemon are part of that, since someone created them. Its a form of symbolic speech. Ohh and don’t tell me to go to church, because I went to a Catholic school for sic years. Its bullshit. Thank you for reading this. Now you can go back to watching Fox News and that asshole Bill O’Reilley.
I saw my 3year old and a 4 year old playing on this “poke-men” games and after finding the truth about this satanic side to the games, I took them outside a with their nintendos and thier poke-men games and I brought a “kitchen devil” knife and I poured holywater over it that I had the preist bless hours before as he had confirmed that this was, what had to be done. I said to the them that there was a demon in side the both of them and I had to release it. They looked confused, so I drew my knife and I sliced my 3year olds face cutting across both of the eyes and down onto the mouth, he screamed loudly, I Knew it was the demons talking so I pushed the blade in further, he fell to the floor rid of his demons screaming. as I moved onto my 4year old to remove his inner-satan he was crying, this was trying to stop me from removing his poke-men demons. So I told him that I wasnt going to remove them, he looked at me in confusion then I quickly brought the knife into his chest ripping through his lungs as I could here the shriek of the demons leaving his body.
I gave their new “un-demonised” bodies to the preist who said that he will bless them fully.
Now to this day we have never had any problems with any poke-men or nintendos satanistic rule over my children.
Hahahahahaha, hilarious article. Great read!
I especially loved this part:
“I felt the Holy-sprit seize control over my entire body.”
This part cracked me up too:
““Please, no!” he begged – but I knew that was just the demons inside of him talking.”
Where do you people come up with this stuff? Honestly, it’s a comedy goldmine!
You and everyone else who reads and believes this needs to be drug out in the street and shot. Thank you.
what the fuck are you all stupid? woow oh lawdy pokemons the devil wtf your just wow… pokemon was fun as shit and still is :|……………… fucking niggers
you’re all a bunch of dumbfucks. if there is a god hes up there in heaven smoking a joint laughing about how fucking stupid and pathetic most of you mother fuckers are. i hope you all get raped by a horse
WHAT….THE….HELL?!?
Your pathetic, stupid and above all: evil.
Christian kids can play pokemon if they want!
Science won over Religon, tons of years ago! Have you known that pokemon games are just programs? Cards are paper! ANIME IS DRAWN!
You’ve made kids cry and teens kick your dogs!
BTW,
It’s all staged out, my Floatzel Sasha smelt it. :D
BTW 2; That be Photoshop :)
I laughed at this post.
Please, tell me this blog is a joke.
Where’s T0SH.0 when you need him?
HAIL SATAN
Back on topic:
*Sigh*
Look, even though I am a Christian, Pokemon has no harmful values. I DO think that the whole evolving thing was named wrong (as it seems more like metamorphosis). It’s just a series of coding. Nothing more. It’s not Satanic just because it has monsters. It’s not Satanic because of the whole evolution thing. Demons don’t possess you if you play Pokemon. It’s just a game.
Seriously, some of you Chrisitans need to calm down.
You’ve been trolled by The3Eds. Now you’ve got trolls!
so let me get this straight. you smashed your kids gameboy? that he payed for himself? youre a horrible parent.
you guys suck balls pokemon rocks
The 2 heaviest christians I know and I mean they are really, really heavy christians and they love poke’mon 1 of them is a MISSIONARY!
Jeez Shelly your perspective on Japan is the most byast stupid thing I have heard a, traffic god really!? They have CHRISTMAS there! I should post a picture of the christmas tree next to the Tokyo tower! Also to those who beleive this and that perspective on Japan goshujin naore wish I could write in japanese.
Now Hamtaro has a point.
She/He is telling the truth, you ignorant bastards.
yeah okay you fucking sheep. Go pray to your imaginary guy in the sky.
your a horrible mother for smashing your sons nintendo that he bought. that picture is obiouslly a fake. and pokemon isnt demonic.its not even REAL!!! do you see pokemon running around outside? I DONT!!!! pokemon is not real, just like your “god” that you have never seen with your own eyes!! and your proud that you smashed your sons nintendo, that he saved up for!? go rot in hell you stupid extremist!!!
Lol I don’t know how I came across this site but I did and I was bored so I read your bullshit blog or w/e it is. I genuinely laughed at this, I mean you’re attempting to go against a multimillion dollar corporation in nintendo and trying to ban a show that’s been on for more than 10 yrs. I used to watch pokemon and play the games and I don’t feel I’ve damned myself to hell. You really need to get a life because this is pointless. Unless this is a joke or something which I hope it is.
O how I wish my mother had the courage to smite my demonic pokemon the same way you did! Ever since I purchased pokemon 3 years ago I have been possessed by very powerful demons that make me want to commit acts of terrorism and homosexuality. I have to fight these demons every day, it requires so much strength and will that by the time I finish this letter I may pass out from exhaustion. Even a team of 12 priests has been unable to relieve me of my burden. When I die, my sin will be so great that they will have to bury my body in the tomb Jesus rose from, as it is the only divine ground powerful enough to contain my evil sin from taking over the minds of the entire world. I’m feeling faint now… Gotta… Gotta… Catch… No! Please save another… catch em… Save the children from… all 250.. the same fate I have to endure! GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL! Ahh! Save me!
They don’t believe in Jesus because they have the right to believe in there own god, you god damn asshole. It’s called Buddhism. Get a clue.
BTW, that picture is photoshop. Badly, too.
BTW, there are 493 Pokemon. Get another clue.
I looked at the first picture and thought FAKE. And when I read the hammer thing I thought you fuking evil mother. Who goes up to their kid, lets there kid plea and beg for mercy (A lot like a terrorist), then breaks the toy into tiny bits? You you shit head of a bitchy future. I have no problem wiht people who are religous (I am non relligous) but this makes me reconsider. Its a good thing im not an american.
Please tell me this is a troll article. Please.
You’re a fucking stupid bitch who should die in a fire, Pokemon isn’t a Satanist cult, you just decided to make up what God likes all of a sudden. If your God was there, than why doesn’t he destroy all evil? Religion is fucking stupid with ignorant fucks, this thread is a prime example.
Dude, if somebody’s gonna make comments?
Seth: Yeah…
Shelley a fucktard…. Fran is a fucktard… POKEMON FTW BETCHES!
You guys are insane, depriving children from their imagination and creativity.
Wow. Your views are too narrow and ability to be flexible with the changing world is as well. I would go back to reading the bible. As a Wiccan and former christian I know exactly how these people work. They are like salesmen and will do anything to get to join their cult. I feel sorry for people who do these kind of things out of anger, joy of bullying others, or just so they can convert. Just like the witch hunts it’s just another way for Christians to force their corrupt ways on other people.
blessed be and I hope for the best. :)
hey woman, you anointed the hammer with “holy oil”? who did you buy it from? pastor Napa? no? maybe Fred Meyer? you two are both idiots. that picture will give more nightmares than anything pkmn will give, unless having fun with your best friend riding on your shoulder is a nightmare. i know everything there is to know about pkmn. there is no proof for what you have said. your just a money-hungry pervert who likes to see herself on the internet. oh, btw. GET A JOB YOU WORTHLESS PEDOPHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the fuck is your problem Lady, where the hell do you get off smashing your son’s video game THAT HE BOUGHT WITH HIS OWN MONEY. Pokemon is a digital video game franchise, as far as I can tell, digital technology does not have demons inside of it, only microchips. If you’re even slightly suggesting the people who made Pokemon are demons, they’re not. They’re Japanese, unless being Japanese is considered being a demon to you, you fucking racist.
A friend showed me this website, telling me it was overly-religious and idiotic. I didn’t believe him, so I came to see what it had in store, and I must say: That was an understatement. I frankly laugh at your views and some of these comments have kept me rolling for the past half hour. You’re really taking these opinions to proportions I didn’t even know existed. I have to congratulate you on your lack of realism in your writing. I really am shocked that you compel so many people with your stereotypical and verbose statements against innocent childrens’ toys. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Wow. You are a fucking retarded bitch. There is no god at all. And you seriously need to shut the fuck up. There’s a damn good reason why there are a lot of atheists. This is one of them.
Hahahahahahaha….. This is fucking hilarious.
You people are all fucking tools. I am just thinking of how glad i am to not be your kids…. they are so fucking screwed. I do feel sorry for them though. The torment you biblethumpers put on them. I’m going to laugh my ass off when they grow up and disown you for all the shit you put them through, when they burn your houses down, when they become addicted to drugs because people didn’t know how to take care of them.
By the way, nothing happens when you die.
Peace bitches.
im a christian, and I play pokemon. There is nothing wrong with it. just because you’re closed minded doesn’t mean you should throw your twisted ideas about pokemon on every one. I hope God will show that they’re is nothing wrong with it. its only as satanic as you make it.
By the way, people like you chase people away from christianity. the way I see it, your just as bad satanist.
I’m a Christian too and pokemon is not bad because I’ a catholic not a fucking fundamentalst
Emir, and all the STR haters agree.
This game’s WINNER IS STR HATERS.
are you a democrat? that makes more sense then you being serious about all this mfbs. youre a whore.
