Pokemon is Demonic Apparently

The topic itself is silly, but encountering a few individuals (from past to present) that actually believe this to be true inspired me to make this.

Thanks to Viewtiful Valentine/ClimaxTiger for his stellar voice acting in this, as well as the audio artists listed for their great music and a few friends from YouTube who contributed a few other things!

I'm a little hung up on your superhero comparison. Superheroes were at the center of their own moral panic in the past, just look up Seduction of the Innocent. Indeed, a few have unabashedly demonic origins, like Ghost Rider, Spawn, Etrigan, and Hellboy. Also Batman intentionally goes for a diabolical appearance for intimidation purposes. Even if it was just the setup for a laudable Underdog joke, it makes it seem like you did not do the research.

What's more, even heroes with demonic origins and motifs still face ethical decisions that can fall in line with established religious morals. This makes them seem more like people trying to find god, rather than being gods themselves. Shiny tauros is literally a golden calf. That's an unholy red flag right there, dude.

That nerdy B.S. said, this is a decent cartoon. The lip-sync is good, along with the comedic timing, and I do get the jokes. I'll probably be checking out your other animations in the future. :)

I do get where you're coming from, there are various heroes now that definitely walk a thin moral line, or like you mentioned, have more evil origins. My angle was looking at generic superheroes that everyone sees as good and no one questions (the kind you'd see in your average kids cartoon). They have a slew of powers, but they're used for good purposes so no one bats an eye. On the flip side, Pokemon are used to battle evil forces (a lot of the time) and save the world and so on, but somehow a lot of people see it as being different.

You raise a good point overall though. It wasn't really meant to be serious, just a fun poke at the issue. Anyways thanks for leaving your thoughts!

Oh man, Butterfree is f-ing jacked!. . . But to be fair, Butterfree is really strong and basically the linchpin of my team strategy.

This video is priceless.
