Pokemon

Given some of the Anti-Christian sentiment towards Pokémon, I would've expected Texas to be near to the bottom of the rung actually. Like I said before, it could very well be that you were just in a bad locality for the game, especially given that your generalization doesn't seem to hold water when compared to the evidence. The fact that you only consider it *after* Yu-gi-oh came out is a problem too. Are you saying those years of popularity before Yu-gi-oh came out meant nothing?

He probably meant that some people think Pokemon is Anti-Christian.

*Pulls out a pokeball shaped like a grenade*
"Wipe them out, Wipe them ALL OUT Hitmonyun-fat!"

*Hitmonyun-fat adjusts sunglasses, and lights cigarette with conterfiet $100 bill.*
Nurse Jenny: There's no smoking in here, it's bad for yo-
*Blam*
"Phat"
*Hitmonyun-fat pulls out his shot gun and proceeds to kill nurse jenny, and professor oak.*
*Moving on to even deadly artillery, the hitmonyun-fat kills everything in pallet town.*

.....Some time later, a scorched, mortally wounded hitmonyun-fat collapses into a corner as the poisons finnally overwhelm it.*
*the yosemite bear approches, with the grenade pokeall. Ok, time to rest up for a new movie....
Hitmonyun-fat: PHAT!!

Against his incredibly powerful defense, I'm afraid you won't last long enough against it.

Even then, I have Mewtwo which also knows blizzard

I think it's the usual fundie stuff. They're not too fond of the whole evolution system in Pokémon. It teaches childern that creatures "magically evolve" into other creatures so it goes against the "truth" and all that. Business as usual, really.

Actually, I was referring more to the outcry against "Psychic" Pokémon, and the supposed Star of David on Alakazam's forehead, though I suppose that works just as well.

I laughed my head off when I heard about Yuri Geller (sp?) wanting to sue Nintendo for billions because he thought that Alakazam was ripped off him.
