Some of you have voiced concerns over it, and others of you have defended the game as innocent fun. Whatever your position, you have asked us to look into it, and give our views. After some careful study, which we are still doing, we would like to say that we do have some concerns over the game, which we would like to pass on to you as parents, so you will know our position and policies on it, and will be able to make an informed decision on it in your own family. What we attempted to do was read as much as we could about Pok mon , from their own website and literature, and from other sources who have studied it, both Christian and secular. Much of the game seems to have philosophical foundations in eastern religions such as the Book of Tao, Confucianism, Buddhism, even sorcery and witchcraft.
Examples are the energy cards of earth, wind, fire and water.
These are considered to be the elements an aspiring occult practitioner can tap into for spiritual enlightenment and power, and they are elemental to the game of Pok mon . Pok mon also subtly promotes the anti-Christian theory of evolution and reincarnation. The ABRA character is a psychic mind reader and attacker who can project itself elsewhere. As we see it, Pok mon is an entry point for more evil influences they want children to move into. Parents, we supply this information for you to not only know our concerns and now our position, but also so you can investigate it further and come to an informed decision for your own family and children.
