The Pokemon hunting fever with the latest game from Nintendo, Pokemon Corps, and Niantic Labs called Pokemon Go seems to have caused quite a lot of public opinion.

Because of the trend of this game, various negative issues are milling about, through various social media, several individuals claim that Pokemon Go is a product that is deliberately created to destroy certain religions.

What is surprising is that the name "Pokemon Go" is interpreted as the word "I am Jewish" which is said to be taken from the Syriac language, as well as the meaning of the names of Pokemon monsters such as Pikachu which means "Be Jewish" and the lizard monster named Charmander which means "God". It's Weak".

Not a few lay people who believe this argument, even so the argument was immediately dismissed by Pokemon lovers who have studied the story from the beginning as quoted from the kaskus.com forum as follows:

Pokemon is taken from the word Pocket monster. Monsters in a pocket, the theme of pokemon. Collect and train monsters (a fictional world where on earth everything is created by pokemon and pokemon are scattered everywhere instead of ordinary animals) to become the greatest trainer and master.

Pikachu
Derived from the combination of the words "Pika" and "Chu". Pika is the name of a Japanese rat-like animal. While "Chu" itself is a word used to describe the sound of a mouse (a kind of "cit-cit" here). In essence, yes a mouse-shaped monster.

Raichu
The difference is, "Rai" is a kanji reading which means lightning. Those who play yugioh know "Raigeki" (meaning lightning attack). Or does anyone know the god Raijin? Raichu means maybe the thunder that makes the sound of a mouse.

Charmander
Derived from the English "Char" which can mean charcoal or burn to charcoal and "Salamander" or fire lizard (because it is red). A salamander that can burn to charcoal.

Charmeleon
Same, only with the combination of the words "Chameleon", the lizard that can change color, bro.

Charizard
Same, the ending is "Lizard", meaning lizard.

So now it's clear right?
