Nah. Actually, I had really, really cool parents about it.
>be 7>live in Mexico, a massively catholic country>anon already mentioned this show branding everything anime as satanic (>>12363899)>see countless friends tremble in fear as their parents banned them from watching the show and had their games and toys burnt/taken to a priest>afraid people could think I was some evil freak for liking Pokémon and stop talking to me>feared the franchise for a short while>parents noticed I was acting strange about it and taught me the valuable lesson of free will>said they've seen no negative influence from the franchise on me, and that those who bought the idea of Pokémon being satanic because of reasons were utterly full of shit>armed to take my own decisions over what I like, shook that idea from my head and kept on with my life normally>tfw they could just say "ah, well" and stop spending money on Pokémon shit, but they didn't because they didn't want to send the wrong messageI guess that's why I still cherish Pokémon so much, since this experience became a keystone on who I am today.
