Actually they are dangerous, FlaCalTenn. Which is what I am about to prove right now by testimonies of those in the religions listed in OP - who have been interviewed. Stay tuned.List of the Roots and Fruit of Pokemon
1.) First of all, its name describes what this game is about. Pokemon is short for "Pocket Monsters". When I was growing up, we were taught monsters were evil, not something to play with. When I was a little girl, the "boogie man" or monsters caused us fear and we did not want to be around them. This game makes some of its monsters out as friendly; thus causing children to embrace certain evil spirits as friends instead of resisting them.
This is not the only game that does this as there are other games and books that trivialize or glamorize the occult as well. One of the most evil book series that children are reading at this hour are the Harry Potter books. These books are just as dangerous as the Pokemon games.
The Harry Potter books have become a best selling series that chronicle the tales of an orphaned boy at a school for wizards. These books deal with the occult in a fantasy way. In the books you will find animal sacrifices, threats of human sacrifices, witchcraft, wizardry and divination as well as other evil things.

2.) The game was created in Japan and the concepts of the game and trading cards reflect the principles of Eastern Religions and the philosophies that influenced them. Pokemon is the result of influences that are completely mystical and that embrace warrior religions. These belief systems are not compatible with Christianity.

Are these Asian belief systems DANGEROUS? No. Are you showing TOLERANCE towards them? No. You are scapegoating them over a children's game.
What your real issue is --- You believe that children's literature and fantasy play corrupts the DISCIPLINE and traditions of your religion. That these things are a distraction from imposing total religious interpretation on every one of life's endeavours.
Not attacking here -- but lighten up. You have a purity test that is actually HARMFUL to kids. Fantasy play and literary fiction enhance their ACTUAL ability to judge situations that might not be REAL -- but challenge them to CREATE and innovate in their lives.
And in RLife, being innovative and creating new ideas is FUNDAMENTAL to economic survival.
Furthermore, by proving that this game is based in the occult, it is clearly forbidden by the Word of God and I can provide ample Scripture to support this as a fact. Not an opinion.
And I presume you are defining "the occult" as anything outside of your tolerance range. Right?
Are DIsney movies generally "the occult"? Can children use Sudoku puzzles without being influenced by "corrupt Asian cultures? What about Grimm's fairy tales? Goldilocks and Snow White?
I don't need you to waste your time going off on the Asian Religions. I'd rather you support your INITIAL premise of Pokeman Go (and other children fantasy games and lit) being a dangerous "occult" endeavor for children. After all -- you just expanded your accusations to Harry Potter and that's not Asian -- so there's NO NEED to waste time on the sponsoring culture.
Is there?
