She 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

>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 intended
Goddamn, 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.

So...
What the fuck was up with this place?

Define religious. Volo might believe in God but he sure doesn't worship him. Her? It?
>>
>>59285028
>She also dresses like that
Contrary 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.

Back 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".

Okay 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

Why are there so many Christians? This is Japan, shouldn't these niggas be Hindu or sum shit

Despite being only 1% of the Japanese population Christians make up 13% of all Japanese Prime Ministers.

Arceus just being the big G under a different name really isn't that hard to accept.

They worship Mount Sinnoh after the Diamond and Pearl religion fell through.

Gettin' real tired of this MF and his parables.

What would Kiki's Christian name be? Paul?
>>
>>59285312
Simple.
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?
>>
>>59286619
You mean Buddhist, Shinto and Ainu?
>>
>>59287460
So 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.

>>59286551
if you obsess over a god but don't worship it, wouldn't that still make you religious? Genuine question as I'm curious

Nope more like an Anti-Christ or like the Whore of Babylon.
