Hi all, I’m asking for prayer and advice. Is Pokemon evil? There are Pokemon with ghost, psychic, and dark types with moves like “Nasty Plot”, “Hypnosis,” etc. that can be used in battle when playing, but I wonder if really there’s something wrong with this. It’s a child’s game, but as a maturing Christian, I begin to wonder. There’s no witchcraft in the game, but it seems innocent at first glance. But, I also know that the enemy comes an angel of light, making things appear okay. Could this be the case as well? I don’t want to be a fanatic, but terminology like “psychic”, “hypnosis,” etc. in a game begs the question of if there’s a real demonic element behind this game. Thanks!

It depends on how it affects your faith. Does playing the game pull you away from God or do you feel like it doesn't affect you at all. Consider why you're playing it, and then go from there. If you are feeling conviction about playing it, then read the bible. Find out why what you're doing is making you feel conflicted and if anything coming from it is a sin. The bible will not explicitly state it, but you can find someone that will help you I'm sure

I have played a game called Hero Wars where most heros have demonic names. The best team is called eternity which is odd. It does not seem right and games are also addicting. Every time I want to quit, I receive abnormal credits in the game to continue. So it is not neutral, but a way to rob our time in prayer with something that has no eternity value.

Choose another Type of Pokemon if you're worried. That way you can see it as you fighting the darkness with light. . Does it affect you're faith negatively?
