Pokémon is Considered A Way For Kids To Worship the Devil
December 11, 2009 by srfto
Pokémon is considered the gateway to the devil’s doorstep by a church evangelist. The evangelist preached in his sermon that Pokémon will teach kids to kill each other with dark forces and fans of the series will not go to heaven but straight to hell from the teachings of Pokémon.
The video is kind of old so this was probably taken during the height of Pokémon in the late 90’s. You know I would never thought about it that way until after I saw his sermon. Also, this reminded me of that South Park episode where they were addicted to ‘chipokemon’, so I did chuckled throughout the video.

How is this thing even possible? How? God, I ask thee, please partaketh of my question, savor it’s delicacies for it is a tough one.
He can’t here you, he’s too busy trying to catch Zapdos
He probably calls Pokemon the devil because he can’t figure out how to beat the game. He cries into his pillow every night, whining about how he can’t beat the Elite 4.
i remeber being like that when i was 8 XD
There is only one God; Arceus.

This made me laugh. I saw this some time ago and just thought to myself “I wonder if those that condemn everyone to hell are the ones that will be there…”
:/
yes actually, the bible speaks quite ill of those who would bear false witness
Be careful when you condemn someone to hell: It doesn’t make you more like God, it makes you more like a Greeter at Wal-Mart.
There is no killing in Pokemon, so that can’t be why kids kill people. Perhaps it has something to do with the Right making it easier an easier to own guns.
Wait, kids kill people? Where?

Those are the least likely people to be playing Pokemon games
You think gang members get their guns legally? You think that if all the evil “right-wingers” were thrown out of office and guns were banned that gang members and those wishing to do others harm would be unable to acquire weaponry? Please…those who want to use their guns for evil, more often then not, acquire them on the streets, ILLEGALLY. Banning guns will take said weapons out of the hands of those most unlikely to use them unlawfully, leaving said people at the mercy of those who will get their guns regardless.
I take it you’ve never visited Europe.
Most European countries have strict firearms legislation and far fewer gun-related incidents than in the US.
Yeah because all those poor starving kids in third world countries must be forced into being “armed to the teeth” by all those pokemon games they play in their free time, definitely not the war and violence all around them (unless that is also fueled by pokemon)
Oh i thought only Muslims banned it and condemned it. and the number one reason for doing that is because it supports darwin’s theory of evolution !! and also because it contains some symbols similar to the symbols used by the zionists and masons

Wow he makes Pokemon sound like a good thing…
Will religious people stop using heaven to blackmail people? If you do what we say then you will go to heaven and if not, you’ll go to hell. Why are people given them so much power? So everyone who are charitable are really selfish bastards who want to go into heaven?
Well, I declare that anyone who listen to stupid people who put this and that power over your life will not go into heaven. I will fight their stupidity with my squirtle pet!
Yet another Evangelist Preacher creating a bogeyman to freak the flock. Serving as a channel of hate making this guy a channel for the devil. Many a sermon has proved to be a gateway for evil by inciting violence against the unbeliever. Had to listen to one talking out of his ass about walking down the streets of San Francisco and getting the “Googley Eye” (pre Google btw). What his maunderings told me was that he was a latent gay who needed to come out of the closet.
This guy is saying that pokemon, video games, the media, and music these days is warping the minds of children and causes violence. Well, this guy is warping the minds of adults and children through retarded preaching and mind game techniques and brainwashing the public. Extremist Christianity (or any religion for that matter) like this guy is more violent than any other violence “caused” by media today. People like this guy are absolute idiots and the most hypocritical ignorant assholes in the world. I loved pokemon as a kid and I did NOT turn out to be some devil worshipping serial killer, nor was I ever violent in school due to pokemon. Reality check idiot: God doesn’t exist, so stop preaching a lie and brainwashing everyone.
Pikachu, I command you to spill the blood of my enemies!

You’re as retarded as you are bad at precentages.
…oh, and a fuckin’ Charizard is going to eat your soul and have a blood orgy on your grave. That’s what you get for being a troll, a demon pokemon attack.
PSYCHICS AND GHOSTS AND DRAGONS, OH MY!
This person, “Marcel” is a prime example of someone who is completely brainwashed. This guy is one of those who really “cannot be saved” lol.
Ugh, who cares.. what is this 1998?
I wish the churches would shutup already and let kids be kids
Fuck YEAH!
I’m so rocking silver addition, right now, just because of this.
GOTTA CATCH ‘EM ALL!
Yeah right.. “little johhny is going to HELL! But send us $50.00 and we’ll save their souls!” Damn evangelist con artists, they should all be investigated and yanked off the air.
He knows alot about Satan’s inner thoughts, doesn’t he? I wonder…
Seriously, that little guy is not devil worshipping. Listening to these quack jobs is the real devil worship.
Atheists are better thane Christians. Atheists are good becasue they want to be, Christians are only good because they’re frightened of going to hell.
With generalizations such as those, Christians must be better spellers than Atheists.
pikachu is going directly to hell
oh no pikachu!!!!
what the fuck is this moron talking about?
Like religion never led to anyone killing anyone else…
Haha he says “They’re so into this make believe world that they can’t distinguish between fantasy and real (trying to say reality)” then abruptly changes the subject. Haha maybe he realized he’s preaching about a fantasy, make believe world.
First off let me start by saying F*CK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU ROAD IN ON!!!
I am appalled that I share OXYGEN with your stupid A*S. Please DIE ASAP and Go to the O so sacred place you call heaven. HUGS AND KISSES all around -Dr QXX
He actually rode in on a Ponyta
I bet he rode in on a Rapiddash, since he’s so 1337
I like the “Don’t think!” part.
this guys a faggot
Hey, if you use that language, the Pokemon win…
Uh, any chance you might consider linking to Everything is Terrible, the blog where you originally saw the video? RUDE. Here, I’ll do it for you:
http://www.everythingisterrible.com/2009/12/pocket-monsters-are-really-pocket.html
Ya, because im sure a kid has money for a 45
They steal it, using the sorcery and the demonic powers Pokemon taught them, those little hellions! Which makes you wonder, if we can learn demonic powers from Pokemon, why would we even need a 45 to kill our friends? Shouldn’t these little satanic children be using Fire Blast or Thunderbolt or something? You probably have to catch them all to do that…
I’m having a flashback to many, many years ago when a different moral issue appeared with Pokémon (specifically: the trading card game was teaching kids to gamble). Nothing to see here, folks.
I love how he actually thinks kids will shoot someone and think they’re coming back to life. There isn’t any murder that’s happened like that. NONE. Little kids aren’t retarded, just your congregation is retarded.

Wait, wait, wait, did you just say christianity isn’t a religion? Really? Then what is it? A cult? A fan club? An RPG? Dude, just because it is a religion doesn’t mean it’s bad. Religion’s fine. It’s promoting ignorance and trying to force it on the unwilling that people don’t like. There are plenty of cool christans out there, and they’re religious, but nice. Buddhism’s a religion, and come on, who but the Chinese really hates them?
Who told you Chinese hated Buddhists? I guess the only reason there are so many Buddhist temples and shrines in China is because they need a place to gather and burn Buddhists?
It was a joke, because of the treatment of Buddhist monks from Tibet. That whole comment was practicully dripping with sarcasm, so chillax. You know what I mean. Religion isn’t a bad thing. Sure, it’s kinda stupid if you look at what they believe, but plenty of people just keep their views to themselves, because they know we’re here burning them online.
This guy on this video is an exception. He’s an asshole, and his religion is to blame. Is that better?
but religion and Christianity are two different things, Religion is a man made path to try to get into heaven and Christianity Gods path to us humans on earth so that he can save us from eternal damnation.
Doesn’t seem to be working so far…
I’m an atheist and I do good because I’m a good person. I don’t care what is in the “after life”, I just live the life I have now and that’s enough for me.
So it’s based entirely on what you consider credible? Religion is what ever you think isn’t real? I’m a Christan man, and I still find that incredibly offensive and ignorant of you. How dare you use religion to condemn others. That’s exactly why all of these people online dislike us Christans so much.
And I love Pokemon, btw.
I am not trying to condem you. Here go to jesushatesreligion.com.
I love pokemon too and I did not turn out to be a murderer.
Jesus hates… isn’t that a bit of an oxymoron.
Win.
Christianity is actually not a religion, it is a belief. There are religions that follow the christian beliefs, such as Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, etc.
Let me define religion: A set of beliefs, values, and practices
he’s making us look stupid! (facepalm) although if you play the song ‘gotta catch em all’ backwards it says ‘i love satan’ and its true that the devil uses media as a tool for his will. Saying that, doesn’t make pokemon evil, it was a great game on gameboy back in the day and the anime was pretty fun. its only the dubbed version that has the backwards lyrics anyway
I played Pokemon for years but I’m still a loser who can’t beat up bullies T_T someone pls teach me how to use my spells!
Christians love to attack videogames for the ‘respawn’ mentality saying that children think that people who die will just come back to life later on, but they always fail to mention that religion has been spouting that idea for thousands of years. Greek, Norse, and Egyption mythology all depict heroes crossing into the realm of the dead seeking advice from those that have passed or bringing them back to the realm of the living, and Jesus Christ rose from the dead as well. Most of Christian control is based on the idea of “living after death” in either heaven or hell, so maybe they should look at themselves before they criticize videogame designers for using a theme in their work probably inspired by the same fools preaching against them.
Well, the Pokemon don’t die. They just faint. lol
Those kids that John McDoe mentioned. They were driven mad by the bootleg Pokemon games and it’s only because their parents were too poor to buy the real thing.
After this guy was done talking about pokemon I went out and dug up the gameboy, you have to love these god crazies thinking everything is bad unles it says LOVE GOD, I wonder how the fame would have turned out if people like him made a pokemon CCE for pokemon Cool Christian Entertainment
I’m having a flashback to many, many years ago when a different moral issue appeared with Pokémon (specifically: the trading card game was teaching kids to gamble). Nothing to see here, folks…
don’t worry mister! it’s just fiction. you know, like jesus and god.
fucking idiot.
Wow, childhood flashbacks. My dad used to go on about this kinda stuff. Cause apparently letting your kids wander miles away from the house without supervision is so much better than letting them play with “pocket monsters”. Well… he started the same thing with World of Warcraft, Guildwars, the color red, anime, Battle Front, and a few other things. =/ Apparently LoTR is supposed to be a from a Christian view point so its okay. And Red Alert is only teaching you military strategy. =/
The people who believe that shit change their minds with each new fad, and rarely ever stick with their thoughts on it.
This is stupid, maybe the reason the kids killed each other was because the parents weren’t paying attention to them.
So he is saying that people who watch Pokemon are going to hell and become violent.
But he is going to heaven because he follows a religion that has a history of genocide?

Another article made by a Christian trying to preach his bullshit, quite hypocritical. Talking about the dark realm, mysticism, witchcraft. I never thought of Pokemon as witchcraft? Mysticism – Evolution is real so why is that a bad view to teach to kids. Maybe they’d prefer Adamdude and Evazard in the Garden of Eden or 2 God Pokemon Satanchu and Godanite who live in the sky waiting for people to pray to them and Godanites son Jesusaur comes back from the dead to save the world. I think they missed out the word Mythology which is incorporated in Christianity, if they think Pokemon having psychic powers is a bad thing then what do they say about praying to an invisible man? Surely you gotta have psychic powers to do that. Holy shit it’s hypocrisy.

It won’t let me type in the link on here but if you type in Pokemon Satanism on google they’ll be another Another article made by a Christian trying to preach his bullshit, quite hypocritical.

Well,I was around for the “pokemon craze”. It was so popular,that it was even on
the Rosie O’Donald show. It was a fad, like all fads back then. The problem with god and pokemon is this. Pokemon comes from another society where you are not allowed to keep pets in your religion “Japan”. Along with Tamigotchi and Digimon, it is perfectly understandable. Pokemon otherwise was a complete waste of time, and only was a succes since it was a Nintendo game.
There is nothing wrong with the game, asides people wanting to beat the game like Chess. The only thing wrong with the game, is that after wasting my youth on it, the game battery ran out, and all my pokemon was gone forever. Fook Nintendo for there shitty tatics, of installing cheap batteries, and droping half the fans.
People ( old people, young people, and all kinds of people ) played the game to death. I feel tears for all the people including myself who brought the game, and knewed it so well. However Pokemon, while not a bad game, is only as aiddictive like chess, poker, crapes, or even Magic the gathering.
It is only a game, and I was stupid to play that and all of Nintendo’s craptacullar junk.
“Pokemon otherwise was a complete waste of time, and only was a succes since it was a Nintendo game.”
You do realise pokemon was a game before it was made into a TV series?
Pikachu! Use thundershock on that faggot!
Ash! You still owe me a new bike!
Getting too into it eh?
Ok, wtf is this crap? I know a few doctors who would consider this guy mentally unstable for any public speaking. If he really things that Pokemon is work of the devil, then he must think Family Guy is the work of the super devil. I’m sorry, but if you believe this nonsence then please just blow yours brains out and quit wasting air, theres people out there that need it more than your stupid ass.
Ok, first and foremost, I am a Christian. However, I think that Pokemon is just nonsense. If it really was of the Devil, wouldn’t demons spawn after you turn on the game or watch the show? Ok, to all of you idiots saying that all Christians are bad, think before you speak (or type, in this case.) I am a Christian and I don’t say Pokemon is of the Devil. Not all Christians are the same. As a matter of fact, right now I am rocking Pokemon HeartGold (yes I have an imported copy)
Hahahaha what a douche! Seriously, these kind of people need to go get a life and stop blaming everything that’s bad on something innocent.
omg that’s fucking funny… christians are running out of things to cry about.
Do you honestly beleive what you are saying or is this a joke? Practically anything can be made to look as though it is satanic. With enough time I could easily make 80% of childrens shows/toys seems as though the were created by the devil. Example: Spongebob- He is always happy therefore homosexual, homosexuality is a sin therefore spongebob is created by the devil and satanic. In reality spongebob is a talking peice of sponge that lives in the sea and chooses to live life as life should be lived, with happiness and without anger. Pokemin is a game/tv show/toy it is no more evil/satanic than the clothes u wear and the air you breathe. I hope that cleared this up for some people. Have a good day! (If you have unsults against my grammar and spelling i am 14, so i honestly don’t care)
Pretty sure that every person in there is just thinking “Somebody has been watching to many supernatural movies” and every kid is just playing they’re Red and Blue and Yellow trying to defeat the E4 not caring the bit about the retard crap thats coming out of his mouth.
….. So I guess the creation of a God Pokemon isn’t going to make this guy too happy….
God forgive me for having Blastoise use Hydro Pump against Pikachu. he asked for it.
