Do Pokémon Battles promote animal cruelty?

We're talking Pokemon and Ethics from a shared Christian perspective in this special episode! James Demmel, Elizabeth (Pang) Clyde, and Barbara Erdely discuss one of their favorite fandoms and universes and struggle with the question of animal cruelty through the lense of this unique world!

.

What does PETA say about Pokémon? Is Pokémon basically dog fighting? What is Pokémon Black and Blue? Are Pokémon forced to fight? Why do they fight Pokémon? What is the controversy over Pokémon? Why do Pokémon obey humans after being caught? Is Palworld worse than Pokemon? Is Fighting Pokémon ethical? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!

Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.
