> little monsters) metamorphasize and evolve into a monster that is neither
> little nor cute. Infact they become very much like the demons described

> "magic in general". Pokemon has plenty of magic, it also has
> enchantments, charmers, and diviners. Is it really safe for our children
> to be playing at things that God's word calls an abomination?
> Finally an artical in Wrold magazine, while claiming that
> the Pokemon was not a big deal, stated "richness and a well-ordered
> righteousness are missing from the Pokemon world." I ask you, when
> righteousness is missing..... what is left?
> Please friends, be carefull and research this game for yourself.
