It's just that religious people are so quick to denounce anything as evil.
Videogames are the devil! TV is the devil! Movies are the devil! Coca Cola is the devil! Rock and Roll is the devil! Tattoo's are the devil! Ice skating is the devil! Having two girlfriends is the devil! It's why I'm not religious at all and barely practice religion. What the hell is the point of denying yourself experience anything in life just because some old preachers tell you not to? To hell with them! |

Not really, thought. The Pokemon is all aboard having a trainer and getting stronger together, even down to jealously attacking other Pokemon with owners.

There are literally dozens of Japanese RPG's and anime that have human characters use monsters/animals to battle each other. I wonder why Pokemon is only targeted when there's dozens of other shows and videogames that do the same thing.

You're...using the game legendaries as an example? They've always been a little more on the bad@$$ side of design. It would be like using Lugia and Ho-Oh to describe 2nd Gen Pokemon designs.

I always wondered how the Legend of Zelda videogames have managed to avoid all atacks.

They certainly didn't escape my ex-boyfriend's evangelical family. Who were "those" sort of Sonic the Hedgehog people.

Mom and the kids decided to watch the Harry Potter films under dad's nose while he was out of town.
But the Twilight Saga, both the books and the films, were perfectly AOK for them. Which I found incredibly unsettling.

I'm pretty sure Donkey Kong has fallen out of the public eye a little bit more than Zelda, at least as a Nintendo franchise. Zelda games probably are a bit more well known, but the Grown Ups™ of the public would be more liable to refer to Link as "Zelda".

I guess a lot of people count Donkey Kong as the Mario universe (which it also is). It doesn't require extremely much videogame knowledge.

The Twilight Saga was heavily influenced by the beliefs of the Church of Latter Day Saints.
