Another clever scheme to seduce children in to occult thinking is Pokemon. It is laced with eastern mysticism. Buddhist Mysticism, Hinduism, meditation rituals, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Book of Tao, the Analects of Confucius, the Gita, the I Ching, and The Tibetan Book of the Dead are some of the teachings that influence the game. It is all wrapped up in cute little characters to teach children Witchcraft and Satanism.

I remember this. Yeah, it's a little late now, but when Pokemania was at its peak in the late 90s/early 2000s, shit like this was EVERYWHERE. At least in Fundieland.

In the Great Chronology of Fundie Panics, it was after D&D and Magic : The Gathering, but just before Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, and The Golden Compass.

I distinctly remember reading an article in a fundamentalist magazine claiming that the Pokemon Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Victreebel were named for "the false god Baal." At the bottom of the page, in small print, following an asterisk, was the note "It is also possible that these Pokemon were so named because they are shaped like bells." WHOA! YOU THINK?!?

The fact that that was the LEAST likely of the two explanations just show how fucked up fundies can be. Pokemon was a HUGE threat to the fundie faith back then.

"[Pokemon] is laced with eastern mysticism. Buddhist Mysticism, Hinduism, meditation rituals, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Book of Tao, the Analects of Confucius, the Gita, the I Ching, and The Tibetan Book of the Dead are some of the teachings that influence the game."

Sounds much more like Shin Megami Tensei or YuGiOh than Pokemon.

"It is all wrapped up in cute little characters to teach children Witchcraft and Satanism."

Erm, to my knowledge, the only thing I really found 'cute' out of the MegaTen creatures was Jack Frost, but not much else. Yugioh also had it's share of cute critters, but the majority of the beasts in both series are pretty GAR.
