Since the release of its first game in 1996, Pokémon has shaped the lives and gaming experiences of countless individuals. Unfortunately, not even a franchise as fun and colorful as Pokémon can escape backlash. In this article, we aim to address and debunk all the people claiming that Pokémon is evil or otherwise sinful. We’ll even highlight the positive aspects of Pokémon, so you can have a guilt-free time enjoying any of the games within this fun and iconic franchise.
Things You Should Know
- Pokémon is not demonic—it’s a fun, cute game that people of all ages can enjoy.
- Satoshi Tajiri, Pokémon’s creator, never claimed that Pokémon was anti-Christian or satanic. This interview was false and never actually happened.
- Arguments that Pokémon is demonic, evil, or satanic are rooted in prejudice and religious bias rather than actual facts.
