/* Contriversies */ Can't anyone spell? Fixed a large number of obvious, and repeated, spelling problems
There are also many spinoff games, such as the Pokemon Stadium series for the [[Nintendo 64]], in which players could put their Pokémon cartridges into special adapters and battle Pokémon in 3D. Also for the Nintendo 64 is Pokemon Snap, in which the player is a Pokémon photographer, and travels around through Pokemon's habitats and snaps photos of them. Pokemon Pinball also came out for Game Boy Color, which was a pinball game in which Pokémon could also be caught in order to fill a Pokédex. Pokemon have also appeared in every one of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series. In the same vein as Pokemon Stadium, there are also Pokemon Colosseum (Game Cube) and Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii) There is also Pokemon Red and Blue Rescue Teams for the DS and Game Boy Advance which are based on a short-lived cartoon series by the same name.
==ContriversiesControversies==
====Evolutionist influences====
In both games and anime, the evolution of pokemon is of importance and explicitly depicted. Although it bears no resemblened resembled beyond name to the [[theory of evolution]], some christians Christians have expressed concern that it could legitimise legitimize the evolutionist thinking to children.
====psychic/magic powers====
Depictions of pokemon posessing possessing '[[psychic]]' powers including [[telepathy]] and [[telekinesis]] are frequent. In a situation similar to contriversy controversy over role-playing games and the [[Harry Potter]] series, some Christians are concerned that these may constitute an endorsement of non-Godly [[magic]] forbidden by the bible and leave children copying the actions of the anime vulnerable to demonic influence.
====Gender roles====
The character known in the English translation as James has repeatidly repeatedly cross-dressed. This could be considered more a criticism of anime in general, as cross-dressing is often used for comedy in other anime series - a cross-dressing character is not exclusive to Pokémon.
====Animal cruelty====
