Are you sure the controversy was with Catholics? Wikipedia is notorious for spawning multiple pages on the same topic, but the first link I when googled
I wonder if you aren’t confusing Catholics with other Christians?
Odd, i’m so sure it said catholics specifically… And i doubt i’d confuse them, i was baptised as one and went to a catholic school for the most horrific 9 years of my life.
Big Pokemon fan (still looking for Season One in Japanese), but if you look to Wiki for solid information about anything you are duping yourself.Sorry if this sounded kinded blehy and attackish, it’s just i was reading a wikipedia page on pokemans (I got soulsilver!! and just caught raikou) and down the bottom it had a link to ‘Controversies’ so i clickied and read that some catholics found it to be very offensive and yadda yadda.
I just thought, surely people in general have more reason than to think that.
I personally think a game is just that, a figment of the imagination but reality is the place who’s rules you really have to follow
Any other pokemon fans out there? or does the cheese stand alone?
Blorp.
I was going to say, anyone can submit stuff on Wiki, without it ever being reliable or verified as fact. You have to read stuff on Wiki knowing that you might be getting half of the truth.
I recently bought the first 2 DVD boxes of the Diamond and Pearl saga (along with $170 boots… if you saw them, you’d want them too
) it’s like EPIC with a side serve of AWESOME SAUCE.
How are they nastier now exactly? Ash is still almost comically dogooder-ish, as are his companions. Pikachu is still heartmeltingly loyal and cute. even team rocket isnt any nastier, just startlingly inept!The characters used to be cute. But, they aren’t cute anymore. They are ugly, now, and much nastier. That’s how it works. It evolves from innocent and cute, to nasty, nasty, in subtle ways.
It’s all a big racquet, designed to pull you in so you’ll pay big bucks to keep it going.
Suckers!
Remember D&D? I think they came across something, psychologically speaking, that draws people in. It’s all a money making scheme.
Resist! Don’t go towards the light. :hypno:
I think calling someone that puts money into their hobby or interest a “sucker” is a bit harsh. What about someone that collects baseball cards, or rosaries (like my mom)? Just because you don’t like the interest, doesn’t mean the person that does is a “sucker”.The characters used to be cute. But, they aren’t cute anymore. They are ugly, now, and much nastier. That’s how it works. It evolves from innocent and cute, to nasty, nasty, in subtle ways.

Not that I’ve noticed. I was lucky enough to buy a couple of videos from a dealer, and I wants MOAR.I recently bought the first 2 DVD boxes of the Diamond and Pearl saga (along with $170 boots… if you saw them, you’d want them too
If Brock was real, i reckon i’d be more than a bit in love
i thought they’d be mega easy to find in japanese…
Can haz Sailor Kenshin as new CAF best friend?Not that I’ve noticed. I was lucky enough to buy a couple of videos from a dealer, and I wants MOAR.
But I doesn’t has that much of a moneys. I recently saw there are some affordible editions on B&N, but I really just want the first season.
The American voice cast (at least, the original cast) was covered in awesome, but when they switched casts, ehhh.
I also miss Misty! She was so cute with her Togepi and other water Pokemon.
U duz realize there is another anime thred heers?
C’mon in and play.
That’s not quite true. Usually the more popular and well known the topic, the more people have checked it to see if it’s accurate. It’s the less known/obscure topics you need to be more careful of.
Well, when you are sitting in the gaming store looking for new RPG stuff and hear 564,342,011 children screaming about it in the 60 square foot store, it may seem to be the spawn of satan. But it saved gaming stores. Beyond that, it is a form of entertainment. As with many things, parents should keep an eye out but that’s about it.Hi thar! I’m a huge Pokemon fan
Apparently some people consider it satanic or anti Catholic…
I find it increasingly perverse that people could find something as simple as a kids game so evil, so does anyone have any explanations?
Blorp (the sound a marble makes if you drop it on glass tiles!)
Cadaverini
U can haz!
So, I herd u liek mudkips?

Relax, Patrice, I’m just kidding. Good grief.
I’ll take 'em, but I meant how the author of the manga came up with the idea.imagechan.com/images/4d0395df283e97e94cdd555bc0e3888b.jpg
Commukip!!
And Sailor Kenshin, do you mean the origins of pokemon as in the legends surrounding it or the origins like how the AWESOME franchise came to be?
Cuz i’ll give you either
Actually, I like how something so cute and small grows to become all mighty, fearsome and powerful!The characters used to be cute. But, they aren’t cute anymore. They are ugly, now, and much nastier. That’s how it works. It evolves from innocent and cute, to nasty, nasty, in subtle ways.

Hmm… well I heard the author came up with Pikachu when he tried to do Mickey Mouse.
It depends if one is thinking from a spiritual point of view. From a spiritual point of view it is bad from the standpoint that increasingly large amounts of money are inordinately spent on meaningless entertainment, and that one is being mainipilated in a subtle way. Little and by litte. It is very much like gambling. A little goes a long way.
