Their world seems so wonderful. They are running around interacting with other pokemon pocket monsters one second, then the next they are enslaved in little plastic balls that somehow all fit in trainers pockets, forced to fight for the rest of their lives. In Pikachu's case this is even worse because he never seems to die! One internet source (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_Pokemon_how_many_times_have_Ash_and_Pikachu_almost_died) has said that they have almost died up to 40 times. Do we all really believe that these pokemon are enjoying this?
Another point that I would like to bring up is that when pokemon feint they lose happiness. How many episoded of Pokemon have you seen this happen?hmmm... Any answer TAds 12? How bout a smart remark D12Lewis? That is right! They feint all of the time. In fact Self-destructing and cursing pokemon have a tendacy to feint! How much can these pokemon really take people!
Finally we get this next story that says Pokemon have been taken over by Satan!!! This would push me over the edge. What hope do these pokemon have when something like this happens? http://www.cephasministry.com/save_our_children_pokemon_booklet.html
Is there a priest in Saffron city? By the way saffron is a very expensive herb!!! Did you know that? Anyways, I hope that there is so that some of these demons in pokemons may be exorcised from them before it is too late!
How many pokemon have to continue to suffer so that people can control them? Should the be set free? Should Ash be sent to prison for his many, many crimes against pokemon? What about Mindy and Brock? I would even go further and say that Team Rocket should get a medal! After all you never see Meowth in a pokeball being held hostage. Yes, Ash keeps Pikachu out of the ball, but that is only so that he can lure other pokemon in , so that they think it is safe to be with him. Then ....Whammo!! Gotta catch them all.....
I choose you koffing for being the most unhappiest, most likely to commit suicide since you feint all the time. Who do you all pick?
In case you all want further idiotic reading check out the story below!
Satanism in Pokemon
What do you know about Pokemon?
What motivated us to do this booklet in newsletter form was an inquiry from a grandmother on Internet. She wrote: Dear George and Rita, Thank you so much for your interesting "Cephas news" I have a question. What do you know about Pokemon?
My little grandson is only 3 and a half, but is already obsessed with Pokemon, and his Mum, my daughter Deborah, {who is not saved as yet,} buys him whatever he asks for.
He has all the cards, counters, {Like toy money}, and all the little plastic figures. The last time they visited us, he had his pokemon cards, coins, and figures with him, and he was DREADFUL!!
He was rude, cheeky, wouldnt eat any lunch, tried to run away several times, bit his big sister hard on the arm and made her cry.
He also likes power rangers, batman, Karate, {he knows already how to Kick-box!} and swords,
he has the light up Jedi sword. All his seven goldfish have Pokemon names! What can you tell me about Pokemon? We have a number of articles about Pokemon and Harry Potter to which people without a computer have no access. Feel free to make copies of this and hand it to mothers and fathers.
 Pokemon - Introduction by Berit Kjos. Kjos Ministries http://www.crossroad.to/
Who are the strange little creatures from Japan that have suddenly become global super-stars? Most kids know the answer well: They are called Pokemon (short for POCKEt MONster and pronounced Pokeymon), and they have stirred up some mixed reactions.
"We just sent a letter home today saying Pokemon cards are no longer allowed on campus," said Paula Williams, a second-grade teacher in Danville, California. "The kids know they're supposed to be put away when they come in from recess, but they're often in the middle of a trade, so they don't come in on time. In the more extreme cases, the older kids are getting little kids to trade away valuable cards . . . . It drives a teacher crazy."
It concerns parents even more. "Recently, my children were given a set of Pokemon cards," said DiAnna Brannan, a Seattle mom. "They are very popular with the children at our church and elsewhere. I was instantly suspicious but couldn't discern the problem. We have since been told that they are stepping stones to the 'Magic cards' that have been popular for the last few years, which we do not allow."
She is right. For instance, any child exploring the most popular Pokemon websites " 2 will be linked to a selection of occult games such as Sailor Moon, Star Wars, and others more overtly evil. A click on the ad for "Magic: the Gathering" brings Pokemon fans to a site offering promotions such as this:
"A global games phenomenon, Magic: The Gathering is to the 1990s what Dungeons and Dragons was to the 1980s, but with the added dimension of collectibility. Here is the official reference to the biggest new teen/young adult fantasy game of the decade, complete with full-color reproductions of every existing Magic card.
The above websites gives us glimpse of the mysterious little creatures called Pokemon. Ponder the suggestions in this greeting:
"Welcome to the world of Pokemon, a special place where people just like you train to become the number-one Pokemon Master in the World!"
"But what is a Pokemon, you ask. 'Pokemon are incredible creatures that share the world with humans,' says Professor Oak, the leading authority on these monsters. "There are currently 150 documented species of Pokemon. . . . Each Pokemon has its own special fighting abilities. . . . Some grow, or evolve, into even more powerful creatures.. . . Carry your pokemon with you, and you're ready for anything! You've got the power in your hands, so use it!". " 3
What if children try to follow this advice? What if they carry their favorite monsters like magical charms or fetishes in their pockets, trusting them to bring power in times of need?
Many do. It makes sense to those who watch the television show. In a recent episode, Ash, the boy hero, had just captured his fifth little Pokemon. But that wasn't good enough, said his mentor. He must catch lots more if he wants to be a Pokemon master. And the more he catches and trains, the more power he will have for future battles.
So Ash sets out again in search for more of the reclusive, power-filled, little Pokemon. His first step is to find the "psychic Pokemon" called Kadabra and snatch it from its telepathic, pink-eyed trainer, Sabrina. With the ghost Haunter on his side, it should be a cinch!
