>Worried parents may think the Pokémon kiddie-card craze is the work of the devil, but the pope has reportedly decided the game is good for children. The Vatican gave its blessing to the game just as its popularity is soaring in Italy, where "Pokémon: The First Movie" opens this week, the Times of London reported yesterday.
>The trading-card and computer game is "full of inventive imagination," said Sat2000, a satellite TV station run by the Vatican.
>The game did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship," the station said.
