The Spoink line is based on a verse from the Christian bible
Always has been. Alakazam is based on Baphomet.
Baphomet is a very late concept created via misunderstanding.
Doesn't really matter, it's still associated with Christianity
That is like saying eating fried chicken is a Christian association. At least three levels of detachment from the beliefs.
Anon it may be hard for you to hear this but japanese video game developers don't really do deep dives into religion, mostly they just parrot SMT. Someone saw a picture of Baphomet on a schizo geocites page and thought it looked cool so they put it in
>Someone saw a picture of Baphomet on a schizo geocites page
Nowadays you replace Geocities with Facebook.
What's so Christian about that Pokemon?
snake apple
Europeans randomly decided that the fruit of knowledge of good and evil was an apple even though the oldest israeli tradition says it was a date
Same reason why Jesus gets lighter in depictions as you travel northwest. Adapts to the local culture.
And let's not get started on accurate angels and their cousins.
Intentional ones are either invisible or take the appearance of a human.

Fricking region locks!
>randomly decided
There were reasons for it, do some research
main reason being that apples look cooler when you hold them dramatically lol
Frick off with your moronic israelite propaganda
>propaganda
Funny you don’t even know who originally brought down the story
Christianity predates judism
>the fruit of knowledge of good and evil was a date the whole time
Gay and moronic
pokemon takes references form all the worlds cultures and religions.
Fuecoco's final evo looking good!
>hydra
>christain
anon, uh
Did you miss Platinum and LA where an evil serpent was banished to a prison dimension for its crimes against god?
Hes not used to using the thing in his skull to do anything but absorb content
ackshually that's a greek reference
the hydra is greek yes, but the significance of "seven serpents" is tied to christianity and the book of revelations
Crown deficiency.
but there is 5 heads
there are two at the back
The beast with seven heads was never a hydra or snake like. Later illustrations borrowed that design in some cases but it doesn't mean shit.

GF went too far
Why does religion have to be so indirect in the writing? Like there are at least two and possibly three 7-headed monsters active at once and they aren't given specific names in favor of just being called a beast.
they're probably defined in the original texts but got vague when brought over by romans
>Why does religion have to be so indirect in the writing?
A lot of that stuff is talking in code so people who aren't in the know can't prove with 100% certainty that you're saying that the Emperor is a supreme jerk and ruining everything.
SMT btfo
Well the Satan in the old one was a xenomorph skelly because funny pop culture reference and the IVA one is generally awful, so a funny apple critter wins by default.
sshh you're not supposed to tell people that smt indulges in pop culture references
Why not?

how does the right creature work
should've made it 8 for orochi
Nothing can really be a christian reference since christianity copied everything from other older religions or mythologies.
Gee, I wonder why one of the 3 biggest religions in history is referenced in one of the biggest franchises in history, which constantly uses human mythos and history as inspiration for its monsters. Truly a mystery:
What’s with the fricked up shadow?
About time
The israelites had their guys in for almost two decades
It is a reference to the garden of the Hesperides and its protective dragon Ladon.
Even its shiny is a golden apple
The fruit of the forbidden tree is a pomegranate, the apple was a misinterpretation of translation during the Middle Ages.
Pomegranates are ugly. No one would eat that willingly.
Seethe more. Atheist homosexual
What christian figures could they base more Pokemon after?
The player character already is Solomon.
