only thing i found that comes close. I think he's also talking about the let's go games and not knowing the difference. A Channeler (Japanese: きとうし Shaman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that have only appeared in the Generation I games and their remakes. They are generally depicted as Shinto priestesses. They scared people away from Pokémon Tower and were possibly unwittingly helping Team Rocket make their base in the tower. Their strange behavior when challenging the player and their subsequent reaction after being defeated seems to imply that they were possessed by the ghosts they used while battling. In fact, some Channelers apologize after battle, saying "I was possessed!" when spoken to.

[@Polarthief]

I vaguely do remember the possessed channelers and could have sworn one apologized for being possessed, but I do not remember any of them outright admitting that and being unable to battle as a result for sure.

[@OfficialPikadex]

I remember being a kid in the 90’s when the Pokémon craze hit. My mom let me and my twin sister watch the anime, but she refused to buy the cards or the games. All of our cards were given to us by other kids at school. Usually people who had duplicates would give them to us. She didn’t like that we had them, but saw that we often liked to hone our drawing skills by drawing the Pokémon on the cards we had. So she let us hold onto them for a while. Our cousins had the two Pokémon Stadium games and Pokémon Snap and we loved playing those any time we went swimming. Our mom didn’t like that we spent a good chunk of time at our aunt’s house playing the games instead of swimming, but there wasn’t much she could do if she wasn’t there. Our aunt didn’t mind us playing. I watched the anime and collected the cards up until 2003 or so. My sister had lost interest because our mom kept saying they were evil. She swears up and down today that this is not true, but she nudged me into giving my Pokémon cards to my cousins. I regret that so much. I had to stop watching the anime too. However, while we were still in school, I had an unknown intestinal issue and dangerously heavy periods. I missed a lot of school for both. On the days that my mom would go shopping, I would find reruns of the Diamond and Pearl anime and enjoyed it so much. Around the time that Black and White 2 came out, I decided that I was going to play the games. I secretly bought a used copy of White 2 and played it at night. Such a blast! I am Baptist Christian, and always will be. I understand where many Christian parents’ concerns in the 90’s came from. For my mom, it was the fact that Pokémon could evolve and had Psychic or Ghost types. As Christians, we believe in Creation, not evolution. However, the way I see it is that the Pokémon are “growing” into a middle/teenage or adult form. If evolution and its principle of survival of the fittest were true in the case of Pokémon, Ash’s Pikachu or any pre-evolved Pokémon would die in the wild. They would go extinct and only their evolved forms would remain. Yes, Psychic and Ghost type Pokémon or moves can be seen as demonic, but to me they’re just different types of creatures. You can see them almost as races, none being 100% superior over another. Sure, there are super effective moves, not very effective moves, and full immunities, but no type or species of Pokémon is better than another. Pokémon KZbin videos where someone beats a game with a single Pokémon is proof of that! Human beings have strengths and weaknesses ourselves, different personalities. So do Pokémon. It’s honestly up to people to research before they go out and produce videos with the claims this “Pokéman” guy came up with. My niece and nephew love playing the games and their parents (who are very devout Baptist Christians) are fine with it. I love the Pokémon franchise and my faith. I hope other people don’t bash on Christians as a whole because not all of us believe Pokémon is evil. There are some delusional nut jobs like this guy, sure. But not all of us have those beliefs.

[@velvetbutterfly]

I enjoy reading views of people like this as I've had almost the opposite family life growing up.

And that was when it was advertised outside of Japan in a way that it was comparable to Pokémon and thus set up as a rival competitor due to the similar theme of monsters. But true that as of yet, I've never heard of any cases in which Digimon was given the same treatment of crazy claims that it's bad/evil as Pokémon had during its peak at that time.

I really wish this dude's comments weren't turned off on his video so I could inform him just how negative his affects are on those of us who do this properly.

[@jackcoleman1784]

So I'm aware this is two years late but they might actually be looking at a screenshot of Earthbound for the Super Nintendo in reference to the possessed line. Earthbound is another Nintendo RPG and my favorite game of all time. Being possessed is a potential status ailment you can get from certain enemies. It causes a little ghost to follow you around on the world map and he'll actively participate against you in any fights/encounters. Typically he either attacks a party member causing damage or he causesan additional status ailment paralysis which may be where the line is from.

Why am I suddenly seeing so many videos about this topic? 😂 Hello, devout Christian AND Pokemon enthusiast here, and I can assure you we are not all grasping at straws like this. When I was a kid, my parents had been told that Pokemon wasn't good, but it was because of things like Ghost Type Pokemon and the "lore" surrounding some of the anime episodes that usually involved ghosts or Pokemon "deities" like the Legendaries. Pocket monsters, power levels, and battling had nothing to do with it lol. "It's not Christian? Is it supposed to be?" I do feel like I should comment on this part: he was most likely saying it isn't something a Christian should be associating with (I don't agree with him, I'm just reiterating what I think he meant). I don't think that he was saying that everything SHOULD be Christian, I think he was just saying that Christians shouldn't associate with it. "PokeStops are along demonic lay lines in the earth." 99% of the Pokestops I have visited have been at churches or church events, so this is awkward 🙃 If I had a nickle for every time a Pokemon Go player found a dead body, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. "One three year old was chanting in a raspy voice, 'Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur!'" *bULBASAUR DEvOURvER*
