Pokeman is a gateway. (Sorry for those that are a fan).
I used to converse with a wiccan online. I would witness and she would listen, but sadly, to my knowledge, she has never come out of the wiccan religion. She used to teach a 'childrens wiccan class'. She would use the Pokeman cards to teach how to be introduced to your familiar and to do magic spells.

Gateway to other terrible TV shows, sure. Gateway to epileptic seizures, why not? Gateway to the Devil? No. Try replacing the game piece on your ouiji board with a pokeman card - it doesn't work, you can't see the letters to know what messages the devil is giving you. I accidentally misread "Abort Babies" as "Eat at Arbys".
And you're lying through your teeth. Pokemon is a TV show for children, and comes from JAPAN, a country where most people are shinto(nothing to do with Wicca), and buddhist(even less to do with wicca)
And that is a problem because...? She wasn't hurting anybody; why should it matter?
...
Fundie. Never mind. If it's not hurting anybody, it's not worth it.
"She would use the Pokeman cards to teach how to be introduced to your familiar and to do magic spells." Mrsppmrxky? She was pulling your leg. It was a joke. J-O-K-E, joke.
Of course, having grown up with the Bible, you Fundies are good at believing anything you read....
Yeah, but you can only know four spells at a time, and you only have a limited number of power points. And last I checked, there aren't any TMs or Pokémon Centers around here ...

Darwin I choose you!
Darwin used LOGIC!!
It's super effective!
Fundie Idiot fainted!
You're just jealous that you don't have a successful Bible Trading Card Game to rival it.

Seriously... Pokemon and Wicca?
Look Wicca is primarily a religion practiced by teenage girls with an unhealthy obsession with the colour black, pudding and a nudity clause that may as well not matter due to their unhealthy obsession with afore mentioned pudding.
Mixing Pokemon into that does not make them "more ridiculous". Not when you have them claiming to be able to do real magic...
*sniff sniff*
Whats that i smell.....?
I'm honestly surprised no fundy's ever run into me and thought I was going to hypnotize them or turn myself into a giant snake. I mean, they're clearly the ones who believe in fictional magic more than we, the fans of the fictional magic, do.
Oh no, right, they wouldn't know who Jafar is, because Aladdin has those darn Islamics in it and Disney is evil anyway.
Oh, the fundies still consider Dungeons & Dragons to be a "gateway" to witchcraft. They also think that Harry Potter, horror films, Pokemon, World of Warcraft, Magic: The Gathering, feminism, Freemasonry, and yoga are "gateways," as well.
Essentially, anything dealing with "magic" is a gateway to demon-powered sorcery (which they do believe is a genuine threat).
Ummmmm.....no. Just...just no.
I'm wiccan, and I don't have any "familiars" (maybe a totem animal or two though).
And I've never played with Pokemon, nor would I ever use it to "teach children about Wicca". What rot!
My Goddess is your god's mother. And she is PISSED.
She was obviously witnessing to you, and sadly, you haven't come out of the Christian religion, either.
Children's Wiccan class wasn't available at my school... (If it were, it wouldn't have been done with "Pokeman" cards, as they were created when I was 27.)
A gateway to what, btw? More innocent fun and games?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
