Line 21:
Line 21: − − ==Criticism== − Many critics have noted that God's role in making the monster creatures was never recognized throughout the video games or the TV series. But as the series is a work of fiction and can easily been seen as such by a large majority of people, these statements are mostly unfounded and maybe nothing more than fear-mongering. Such a fictional series wouldn't need to mention God or the creation account of the Pokemon world, though in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Versions, a Pokemon called Arceus was made, and it is heavily implied that Arceus is supposed to be the creator of the Pokemon universe. It is this sort of replacement of God by a monster such as "Arceus" which has angered many critics. Again, though, seeing as the series is obviously fictional, and as other Pokemon are responsible for the creation of the land, sea, time, etc. there is no real reason for the critics to be offended by the existence of "Arceus". Pokemon mythology takes a more pagan form, with no one creature fully replacing God, and almost all Pokemon fans know that Pokemon mythology is not something to be taken seriously; the Pokemon "deities" get nearly no mention in the TV Series except in movies, their role in the games is small, and most fans understand that they exist only to provide trainers with cooler, more powerful Pokemon to use in battle, and not to promote paganism.
→Criticism: its a friggin video game, not real life. saying its bad because "god isnt in it" is insanely stupid logic
The franchise also spawned a collectible "trading card game", where players duel using special decks consisting of cards representing different Pokémon species, as well as energy cards, which allow Pokémon to use their battle techniques, and trainer cards, which have special effects that influence the flow of battle.
