My parents think pokemon is demonic.

Hey Tagzard, I too believe that video games and works of fiction can be used to influence children towards witchcraft and the likes. For example, Witches say Harry Potter is the best thing that ever happened for their movement... Why? They were introduced that kind of stuff at an early age, started messing around with wigiboards, and now that thirst for deeper and more interesting stuff brings them to the real deal. Witchcraft. How different could Video games and Anime be? Lets start off with the Pikachu's tail. Kinda looks like a lightning bolt doesn't it? Well, if you've done any amount of research into Witchcraft and the likes. You will find the Lightning bolt Symbol everywhere! Don't believe me? take a look. Satanic Symbolism This is just one example. I can tell you more if you want about this kind of stuff being hidden inside of entertainment. (BTW, this website is probably not the best place to get an unbiased opinion... Unless you're just wanting to have your ears tickled....)

I seriously hope you're trolling.

How is that trolling? I just used a few examples to show that Entertainment is not neutral. Im sorry to hear that you are not open minded enough to try and make sense of an idea that doesn't completely agree with you.

You know what? It's rather hard to argue with parents when their minds are set. My mom recently freaked out when she saw me watching Trick 'r Treat, coz she dislikes horror. I had to cease and desist at once, which kinda sucks because the first kill victim was just coming into focus.

I have more freedom than you, though. I can play as much pokemon or Final Fantasy or read basically anything. sadly enough, the only way you might be able to keep up with your Pokemon obsession is to hide it really, really well, and tell no one, not even your friends. GL

Which I don't think is a very good idea. You shouldn't have to hide things that make you happy.

Maybe your parents are demonic for not letting your enjoy your childhood.

And there are many more examples of magic in Mario. Just look at Super Mario RPG or Paper Mario for starters.

And don't forget the substance abuse. Magic mushrooms indeed.

If by "open-minded" you mean branding everything non-religious as "the devil's work" then I guess most of us are.

I have a bad feeling bout this, LOL

It's just a GAME.

I'm very opened minded, but seriously. Think about it. Who in there right mind would make a connection to Piakchu's tail to a "Satanic Symbolism"?

That means you've going WAY too deep into the game. It's meant for fun.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, but come on.

As open-minded I am myself, I seriously think you guys are thinking way too deep into a work of fiction

 

[VashTS]

calling something demonic is a religious cowards way of saying "i don't understand this" or it can also mean "i don't like this".

religion provides that simple out of "hey its against my religion". i would point out that fact to your parents. there are many examples throughout time about religious beliefs causing conflicts of interest.

for you pokemon is fun and enjoyable. for them, its the devil. to each his own, that may even be in the bible...i think. well at least i know, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

edit: new avatar cat boy? nice. either that or i've been missing your posts.

Don't be worried. I do have one question. How did I "brand everything non-religious as the devils work?" I merely used 2 or 3 examples and i'm branding "everything"? Man, talk about "1 VS. 100" LOL. Do forgive me for trying to make a point.

What the hell dude? You can't possibly believe playing Pokemon or watching Harry Potter will lead you to withcraft. Pikachu has a tail in the shape of a thunderbolt because he can shoot lightning. See how it works?

To answer Tagzard's question, yes, they are animals with powers. They aren't mystical, magical, demonic being that came to Earth to kill us all. In the Pokemon universe, pokemon are the local fauna.

 

[Blackzeta]

Uh, excuse me, but, Pokemon. What are Pokemon? Pokemon are special creatures with elemental powers. They are not used in demonic ways unless the trainer wants to use Pokemon in that way. Ghost pokemon are an elemental type, non-demonic, hey, Humans have souls? Souls= Ghost, so it's not like we are demonic. And plus have you even seen a ghost pokemon being evil, not michevous, E-V-I-L. I think not. REAL Demonic things would give an effect in real life, not like a video game can kill you. I've been playing Pokemon games as a little kid, What effect has the games given me? Happiness and entertainment. In my opinion not demonic.

Yes it is

I updated this morning!

Also I agree with you 100% btw

Although who's honestly going to take this topic seriously? I mean this topic has been brought up countless times before and each time people just laughed, why? Because it's a topic about people looking so deeply into a child's game that they forget that it's a simple work of fiction. People are so afraid that people will be swayed by fiction, maybe their not as secure in their religion as they want people to believe.

You don't know? Half the world is entertainment now! Heck, why do you think Bieber got famous?!? Entertainment is too broad as it is, plus the same ideas in works of fiction are casually reflected in real life anyways. Thus "life imitates art" and vice-versa.

I agree with you, but Ghost pokemon aren't ghosts.
