Which other Pokémon characters are religious?
>>59284072Volo and Cogito
>>59284072Cute pic
>>59284072Go back to your containment general
>>59284072Religious as in an established religion or OH MY ARCEUS cringe nonsense?
Misty carries around a cross.
>>59284990She also dresses like that, so I have my doubts about her being a good little Christian girl. Besides, that was before any kind of mythology had been created for the series. The closest thing at that point was Mew
>>59285028Christians can't wear hotpants?
How would Christian mythology make any sense in a world with pokemon creator gods
>>59284072What do they pray for?
>>59285054No. It's the 11th comandment
>>59284072Kiki is such a good christian boy!
>>59284195I don't think Volo should be allowed in a church
>>59285336To cure their homosexuality (didn't work)
They all worship Satan
>>59284072>Florian is such a CONQVISTADOR that he even made Kieran convert from Shintoism/Buddhism to glorious Catholicism to turn him into a true Paldean like GOD intendedGoddamn, what a fucking chad. Paldea's greatest hero. The Paldean Empire will rise again under his rule and conquer the world, blessed by our LORD.
>>59285312Born of a virgin, he sacrificed himself to atone for the sins of pokehumanity.
>>59285028She dresses like that because she knows god will protect her. That she'll not fall to the temptations of lust.
>>59285900Facts
>>59284072I'm pretty sure Draconids pray to Rayquaza or something like that
>>59285803>Attract doesn't work on same gender pokemonBased Arceus making sure pokemon never get AIDS
>>59284072So...What the fuck was up with this place?
>>59284195Define religious. Volo might believe in God but he sure doesn't worship him. Her? It?
>>59285028>She also dresses like thatContrary to "modern sensibilities", there was nothing exceptionally scandalous about a t-shirt and shorts with suspenders back in the day. Misty might look like a slut to modern viewers but back then she wasn't problematic at all. Dawn would have been considered the most scandalous one.
>>59285312Back in Generation I, it seems like Pokemon really was just meant to take place in an alternate Earth with these special creatures. You had animals, African elephants and the implied existence of chickens. You had America courtesy of Lt. Surge. You had the moon landing mentioned with the exact date and the Space Shuttle Columbia in the Pewter Museum. It was only with later generations that they seemed to step away and make the world of Pokemon its own, entirely original setting. Religions as we knew them could have very well been a thing before they were quietly retconned out along with the other holdovers from "our Earth but with Pokemon".
>>59286555Okay but you’re really stretching “t-shirt” as a definition here. Because that isn’t a t-shirt - it has no sleeves (and to point out the elephant in the room - it’s a crop top that shows off her navel)If Misty was actually wearing a t-shirt it’d be a much more modest outfit but as is she’s jailbait
>>59286609Why are there so many Christians? This is Japan, shouldn't these niggas be Hindu or sum shit
>>59284072I want Florian and Kieran to perform sacrilegious acts together!
>>59286619Despite being only 1% of the Japanese population Christians make up 13% of all Japanese Prime Ministers.
>>59286619Brock is muslim
>>59285312>How would Christian mythology make any sense in a world with pokemon creator godsArceus just being the big G under a different name really isn't that hard to accept.
>>59286540They worship Mount Sinnoh after the Diamond and Pearl religion fell through.
>>59285801Your picture only suggests that he would be right at home in a church, synagogue, or mosque
>>59285336To protect themselves from Wicke
>>59286698he's based on greek mythos
>>59286656No>>59285792Yes!
>>59286609>it's a Brock compares their current predicament to a Bible passage episodeGettin' real tired of this MF and his parables.
>>59285900What would Kiki's Christian name be? Paul?
>>59285312Simple.God is "unknowable" Arceus is an avatar.Archangels are various powers that make legendaries. Mythicals are primordial forces made manifest.Even a Jesus figure is a Possessed human doing the will of Arceus, think Volo but Good.Translate this to Religious worship and you get a pseudo-Christian faith.Do you guys even try to theology?
>>59286619You mean Buddhist, Shinto and Ainu?
>>59287460So is Yahweh who took the role of Jupiter who was Zeus.Most of the Archangels of Catholic Canon are just reskinned Greek Gods taken from Semitic roots.
>>59287731Actually the names of the little boys getting sexually abused tend to go unrecorded
>>59286702*Mount Sinai
59288150Seek help
>>59288139So mewtwo isnt jesus?
>>59286551if you obsess over a god but don't worship it, wouldn't that still make you religious? Genuine question as I'm curious
>>59288277Nope more like an Anti-Christ or like the Whore of Babylon.
