My dad thought Pokémon was an anti-Christian cult and we weren't allowed to watch the show or collect the cards as kids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[alienjiive]

I pitied kids like you so badly growing up, although my parents wouldn’t let me watch Harry Potter but I didn’t like it so I didn’t care. If they didn’t let me play Pokémon I would’ve ran away tbh.

[lolitalockheart]

My mom thought it was satanic too but let us watch anyway. My cousins, on the other hand, weren't allowed to watch Pokemon (or any anime)/Harry Potter/Land Before Time etc... It was always awkward visiting them because we had to hide our heathenism lol.

[tadpool]

lol me and my siblings weren't allowed to watch it for a bit because they said "stupid" in the show but they later let us watch and get cards and stuff, i don't know why but they accepted pokemon would be our childhood. we just weren't allowed to watch the episodes with the ghost pokemon and such because it was anti-Jesus! anything witch-y/ghost-y/spiritual but not Christian-holy-spiritual we weren't allowed to watch... (Pocahontas, Harry Potter was the devil, Kiki's Delivery Service, etc)

Took a break from Pokemon Go for a while because it seemed too repetitive, started again in July. Unova pokemon now apparently!

Idg how some people get so far, like level 40 and 100 shinies and all the legendaries, do they have jobs?

i joined a local pokemon group in my old neighborhood before, and the majority of the group were 40+ men and women who blew all their money on this game. it was a sight to behold.

[sophistiquated]

I don't use "real money." I use money from Google Opinion rewards which is kind of real money and coins I get from gyms. But I can't justify anything more than that.

[colorstoobright]

i've spent real money on the game, but no more than $5. i also use points from my card to get itunes gift cards.

meanwhile i know a couple that purposely chose australia as their vacation destination so they could catch a few kangaskhans.
