A Supernatural Battle Is Now Raging for the Minds and Destinies of Our Children. This Is a Battle That Parents Can and Must Win.
Violence, psychic manipulation, witchcraft, murder, demons, wizards, magic, Satanism, and the occult are but a few of the featured attractions in the world of the ever-popular Pokemon phenomena and the celebrated Harry Potter series.

This eye-opening book is a stunning expose that penetrates the clever satanic camouflage which attempts to conceal the true diabolic nature of today's most popular children's literature and games.

I can fit a lot of that to Harry Potter, though the threat is obviously exagerrated, but Pokémon? Violence can be argued but I don't recall much else. (I'm sure the author hasn't seen the Johto episode with the 'witch' so that doesn't count. :-p)

But it's just another nut trying to cash in on popular culture and nothing we say here will affect anything.

Oh, I've seen this before.

Nobody get angry, you'd be falling under the stereotype the author had in mind when writing this: That if he writes an attack on two popular franchises, it will stir up controversy and put him in the spotlight.

Just point and laugh. :P

My hero. A man who can speak out against popular culture. TRULY he is a revolutionary. May the irreverence of his book strike fear in the hearts of ALL who dare...read.
 
Pokémon & Harry Potter: A Fatal Attraction sounds like a really bad crossover fanfic that needs sporking.
 
I very much doubt he got the rights to use that Pokeball on the cover.....

GO NINTENDO, SUE!

I went to a Catholic school and they encouraged people to read Harry Potter. And also a few years ago they didn't think Pokemon was evil. They just didn't want people to trade cards during school.
 
I think I should buy the book just to laugh at. Of course, the authour doesn't deserve the seventy cents I'd use to pay for it...
 
Oh, yeah. Just another guy wanting the spotlight. I've heard it all before. Pokemon's violent! WAH! OR Harry Potter is EvIl! WAH! Who the heck cares? They are just television shows/books for enjoyment.

(Yeah, after absence, I'm back.)
 
Really, pokemon and harry potter have been inspired by things the church finds evil. So, it isn't the fault that the church finds those things in pokemon, it is that they find those things evil in general.

So, the books not that big a deal.
 
Actually, the Catholic church is NOT opposed to Pokémon or Harry Potter. (I seem to remember it going as far as Vatican officials, maybe even up to the Papal level, making positive comments about them)

It's all those holier-than-thou splinter churches in the Bad Old States (not even the big ones of the reformations, at that) that are being asses about it.

You know, the ones that haven't gotten out of the Middle Ages.
 
Actually, a Vatican official has recently come out and claimed that the Devil lurks behind Harry Potter. Recently, as in this week. But the Pope himself doesn't seem to have any issues.

And by "holier-than-thou splinter churches", you DO know that includes the Baptists, right? Or is it the Methodists? All I know is that my uncle pulled his youngest daughter out of a school because Harry Potter was on the reading list, and wouldn't let his kids play/watch Pokemon. Crazy crap, though.

Wrong-o. I recall back when HBP came out they mentioned that a few years ago, Pope Benedict (then Cardinal Ratzinger) said something about Harry Potter "corrupting the soul of Christianity in children."

Eh, it's all crap to me. How many Catholics care, really? I mean, a guy at my school last year who ran a club called Soldiers for Christ was obsessed with the books, and he's planning on being a priest... And I don't see Catholic churches holding mass book burnings, either. The Catholic school I help teach Religious Ed. at on Sundays has a Hogwarts Club, for Christ's sake.

Where'd you see that thing about the Devil's signature, anyway?

But Pokemon as evil? Are we really starting this crap again? You know, if all the people writing this stuff spent more time doing what Jesus told them to do (as in, helping the poor), rather than what Jesus told them NOT to (judge), then the world would be a much nicer place.
 
To be fair, it was published six years ago.

As for the church issue: It's simply the case that the last Pope was more accepting of these things than the current Pope. Apparently, they alternate between conservative and forward-looking. (Through pure coincidence.)

Though the Vatican told Catholics not to watch The Da Vinci Code and I know of a Priest that told his congregation the exact opposite.
