I decided to make this thread more of an open answer format.

I personally have tried to learn from my experiences with pokemon as a trainer playing the games and a spectator watching the anime. Also, my faith has largely been shaped by the core moral tenants and character-building lessons from pokemon. Mother Theresa is my hero, and I see many similarities between her and the kindred acts I've observed in pokemon. Also, my friends and I bond and learn from our interest and love of pokemon. How about you?

Please share your stories and experiences of how pokemon influences your personal life.

- Do you have friends who like pokemon?
- Do your parents/family play pokemon?
- Do you have any touching life experiences base upon a shared interest in pokemon?

Thank you all for reading and have a wonderful and blessed day. And be kind to each other and please stay on topic, Pokemon :)
