[size=12][i][b]About Pok�mon (Pocket Monsters) (excerpt from Wikipedia. For more information, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...C3%A9mon)- The concept of the Pok�mon saga stems from the hobby of insect collecting, a popular pastime in Japan, and one which Pok�mon's creator Satoshi Tajiri had enjoyed as a child. Tajiri?s formula took off in Japan and was adapted (and translated) in 1998 for the American market, with the release of Pok�mon Red and Blue. These games allowed players to catch, collect, and train hundreds of creatures, known as Pok�mon; and battle them against each other to build their strength. These Pok�mon could then ?evolve? into more powerful Pok�mon and learn new and stronger techniques. Pok�mon never bleed or die in battle, only faint - (however they can still become confused, poisoned, paralyzed, frozen, sent to sleep and burned) this was a very touchy subject to Tajiri, as he didn?t want to further fill the gaming world with pointless violence.
Pok�mon is also the collective name for all of the fictional species within the Pok�mon universe. To date, the franchise has a grand total of 395 unique species that lie at the heart of the series, a figure which has grown substantially from the 151 monsters in the original Pok�mon Red and Pok�mon Blue games. The name can either be singular or plural (such as deer or moose), and the same applies to each species name.
While each medium has slight variations, there are a few notably persistent characteristics of the world in which Pok�mon is set. It is apparently an alternate version of Earth, as real-world locations are occasionally mentioned, though not seen. Real animals are also conspicuously absent, with a few exceptions, but the inhabitants do seem to have knowledge of terrestrial fauna, since many Pok�mon are classified by their resemblance to such creatures. When characters in the anime eat meat, it is often unclear what the source is. The Pok�mon world, at least in the regions seen so far, is characterized by human settlements (often quite small) which are nestled in vast, mostly-unspoiled wilderness. Even the large cities seen in the anime are usually surrounded by lush forests. In contrast to development, technology seems to be fairly advanced, as evinced by devices such as Pok� Balls, teleportation machines, Pok�gear and the commonness of videophones. At the same time, transportation technology, while inexplicably equivalent to modern-day technology in our world, is little-used. Automobiles are rarely seen, especially outside of cities, and accordingly, common routes are often unpaved. There do not appear to be many major airports; long-distance travel is often accomplished by sea. Trains exist in some places, but for the most part, the people walk to their destinations, although several roads exist designed specifically for bicycles. This is well-suited to the lifestyle of Pok�mon trainers, who must naturally explore new areas to catch new specimens.
How Pok�mon affected religion

Religion
Christianity
Some Protestant Christian groups in the United States believe Pok�mon to be Satanic in origin. After the US release of Pok�mon Yellow, there was a sudden widespread criticism of it passed through Christian congregations primarily by word-of-mouth. The claimed parallels between Pok�mon and Satanism include:[/color]

1. Pok�mon parallel demons. They are captured and must be invoked to perform tasks.
2. Magical ?talismans? (gym badges) are necessary to control many of them.
3. ?Magical? stones are used to evolve certain Pok�mon.
4. Pok�mon ?evolve.? Evolution precludes literal creationism, therefore Pok�mon denies some forms of Biblical interpretation.
5. Many Pok�mon have paranormal or psychic powers. These powers are not derived from God and therefore, according to Christian docture, must stem from Satan.
6. Many Pok�mon embody or practice Asian spiritual and mystical concepts. For example, some practice martial arts, which some Christian groups denounce as gateway to pagan religions. The game world also incorporates Asian traditions about elemental forces.
7. Some Pok�mon (such as Houndoom and Murkrow) resemble witches or demons.
8. Also, when the main theme song for the television show is sung in English, the lyrics ?gotta catch ?em all? are alleged to say ?I love Satan? or ?oh Satan? when played backwards, which is known as ?backmasking?. This has left some Christians and Christian organizations believing that Pok�mon subliminally encourages Satanism. However, backmasking in general is highly controversial and debatable, leaving room for much skepticism.
Still, most people (including many Asian Christian congregations) dismiss these claims to be nonsense, and attribute many of the alleged protests to urban legend. The surprisingly small amount of original protests (as opposed to reports of protests) seem to reinforce this belief. It would be incorrect to state that the Christian religious community is of a single mind in this matter, since most mainstream sects of Christianity are utterly indifferent to Pok�mon.

Good boy. Can't have yur team all closed up fur no reason.

That is very true, Shadow. I hope the_cool_one (X-3370R), posts soon.
Hey, the_cool_one, can we still have Question of the Day?

« Last edited by Mewachi on May 8th 2006 »

I hope ya can 'cause I'm waitin' for it.

I hope the_cool_one, or whoever he is answers, cause I want to post one really bad. That's like my team trademark, like.

That would be cool. I don't go on Netbattle so I will have to quit.

It's not just about NetBattle. It's also about Pok�mon game help, and events. If you would just come over, I could show you what it is about. But no, you don't listen to me.
Hey, Shad, do you have a NetBattle name?

« Last edited by Mewachi on May 8th 2006 »

Oh. Why do you call her Shad?

Mewachi: I did when I had it an' it was ShadowGX.

Ghost: 'Cause everyone does...

Oh. Are you going to use the same name when you get it at your friend's house?

Nope. Well, for my permanent battling yes. Or somethin' with a "GX" in it. But for observin' an' practice I'm gonna use an' alias name. :0 Nothin' anyone would expect me to use.

Hey,i'll join.

O.K. I'll add you now.

So? Is there gonna be a question of the day?

I guess I could post it. One wouldn't hurt without an answer from the_cool_one.
Question (2) of the Day- 1- What is your NetBattle name& server (if you have one)
2- What was your first Pok�mon game?
My answers 1- Mewachi, nb.smogon.net
2- I think Yellow.
!ANNOUNCEMENT!: If Question of the Day is okay with the_cool_one, then there will be a NetBattle question, and a general Pok�mon question. If I can't think of one, than there won't be one.

1. Don't have netbattle...
2. Silver

O.K. Silver is/was pretty good. Had better graphics than Yellow, I'll tell you that much.

1. shinny usually on smogon
2. yellow
