Oh no. Arceus is coming to the U.S

[Blaziking the God General]

How do you think the U.S.A is going to act when Arceus is announced?

 

[Furretsu]

Oh, all four options are equally likely, I'd say.

 

[The Quicker Picker-Upper]

I say a little o' two and a little o' three.
The last pope said Pokemon was harmless, so I think it'll be mainly Protestant Christains griping. Yes, they do make the majority in the US, so it doesn't make much of a difference.
The newscasts will be unintentionally hilarious, as always, though. It's always funny to see some middle-aged acter-wannabe rant on and on about how "Pokemons" are "corrupting our youth". A mispronounciation here, a mispronounciation there, gullible parents will have a fit over it, same ol' funny-as-hell crap that there was in the late 90s.

 

[opaltiger]

I don't believe any of the options are enough to convey the severity of the reaction.

 

[Get Innocuous!]

I'm thinking pointless newscasts with unintentionally hilarious overpronounced words. We should take bets on how they pronounce "Pokémon". My bet's on "pock-uh-mans".

 

[Hawkfish]

The extremely religious will have more to gripe about. And I'll have a great time hearing newscasts mispronounce Pokemon and probably Arceus as well. Also now my bio dad will gripe at me calling be an atheist for liking it as well. -__-

 

[Goldenpelt]

Choice number 2. Churches will probably sue Nintendo for making a Pokemon God. Number three also seems likely.

 

[S. E.]

Either 1 or 4. Let's hope no one will care, but then again, mass chaos could be fun. >=)

I voted Mass Chaos. =P

 

[Phoenixsong]

Why is creating a Pokémon god an issue when no one makes newscasts about created religions in other games/stories?

LET'S BAN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA DIN, NAYRU AND FARORE ARE CORRUPTING OUR YOUTH

 

[Grinning Calamity]

I don't think it will be a big deal, unless somebody just shouts out, "Arceus is the creation pokemon!? Arceus must be God!"

 

[Koori Renchuu]

I'd say that having a church in the game will make the reaction ten times more intense.

 

[The Quicker Picker-Upper]

Hm, someone needs to paint big pictures of Arceus all over the ceiling of a church once that happens, kinda like the Sistine Chapel. That would lead to some SERIOUSLY funny newscasts nationwide.

 

[Arylett Charnoa]

I'd say probably that nobody will care. Pokemon isn't as publicized as it once used to be.

 

[Alaphlosiam]

Nothing much, I think. People are scared to admit they still like "pokeymanz". I, if asked, reply with, "Pokemon? Hell yeah." But other people are like, "hurr pokeymanz is stoopid lols hao cud u liek dat stuf". Whatever.

 

[Blaziking the God General]

Hmm, yeah, as long as some Pokemon's fan's parent doesn't see it and say "WTH THERE'S A GOD POKEMON OMG IM TOTALLY GOING 2 SUE NINTENDO" we should be fine.

 

[Athasan]

Eh, it'll probably get to the news somehow and someone will say something about it, but I doubt that we'll hear anybody screaming about the Pokémon series fabricating a god and stuff like that.

 

[Nimravus]

Four. Pokemon's heyday is done and past. It's not really popular enough to elicit any mass response.

 

[Crazy Weavile]

Nothing will happen; it'll be through TRU, and Nintendo won't play up the fact that is it essentially God.

 

[Wymsy]

I think nobody will care. Nobody except the people who want Arceus and those few nutters who say Pokémon is evil, that is.

 

[Zeph]

Hmm, yeah, as long as some Pokemon's fan's parent doesn't see it and say "WTH THERE'S A GOD POKEMON OMG IM TOTALLY GOING 2 SUE NINTENDO" we should be fine.

Somehow I doubt every parent would react like that. In fact, it's probable hardly any would.
