Think Pokémon is harmless fun for your kids?

[Unfalsifiable]

Think again. Naturally crackpot Pokéman fans have begun to worship them as replacement Gods, just like the Bible warns against:

On this forum, they prance around talking about portals to new worlds and how they are trying to convert other kids at their schools and colleges (yes, some people on this board are in their 20s!) to believe that Pokemon are REAL and divine creatures. They even talk about MARRYING their pokemon and having SEXUAL RELATIONS with them, if they get the chance!!!

Frankly I only read extracts from the forum and didn't go in to the insane cult webpage myself, I was sick to the stomach. I would advise the women of Landover to not research any of this themselves as they may find it troubling, just get your Husband to read it and I'm sure he will reinforce the message you've been hearing: keep Pokémons away from your children.

This is why we do our homework, Home Fry.

But then, something amazing happened! We gained popularity thanks somewhat to /b/ (who we dropped this to initially without telling them it was a troll site, so they'd troll us to add to the realism), but mostly due to GameFAQs and WoW. So we were planning on carrying this joke for a while.

And now the credits.

First, a big thank you to some of the communities and who contributed their retarded belief.

Various others we probably never even saw

It was still good of you to bring up Pokeclipse.com, Falsetto. It's a great example of what a JOKE website looks like.

Oops, I dropped the opening two paragraphs of my quote.

This started as an effort to troll Digiclipse. It's a site that had people who honestly, TRULY believed in Digimon and the digital world. /v/ discovered it on Friday. My idea was to take the piss out of them with Pokeclipse, and we'd build up posts for a week and then spring in on Digiclipse to troll them, and have nerdrage arguments about which of our fictional worlds were real.

But then Digiclipse was hacked, and we momentarily felt without purpose.
