==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.

Pokémon has also been criticized for its blatant support of socialism. In the game, the hospitals (known as pokémon centers) all provide free healthcare and computer access to pokémon trainers. The hospitals look exactly the same (implying socialist homogenizing) and this also extends to the shops in the game. The shops (Poké-marts) are identical buildings with shopkeepers wearing identical uniforms across the entire game all the goods are exactly the same regardless of town, and they charge huge sums because there is no competition. In fact, the only mom and pop store to be found in the games is an herb shop that sells harmful powders and leaves (a possible drug reference) to trainers to use on their pokémon.
