Is Pokémon"Satanic"?
I found this footage of a preacher ranting about the evils of Pikachu and co..You know Pokémon, right? Nintendo franchise....Cute, cuddly, scrappy and adored by the kiddies....Well, this pastor seems to think they are SATAN’S OWN SPAWN...Now, I do believe in indoctrination...I also believe it to be a slow but sure process....Either by television, music, art etc....Non-Christian and Christians alike might see these characters as relatively harmless....Now Pokemon had its origins in Japan and quickly fascinated children of the west after its introduction in the mid-1990s... Pokemon is also linked to the martial arts of the Japanese. ..There is no question that there are many other games and activities that are built upon the occult and upon paganism...I am not saying that Pokemon is evil....I believe parents should exercise spiritual discernment when it comes to things like this.
