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.
