They're based on kami which are Japanese gods and have shrines dedicated to worshiping them
Who worships genies?
Nobody that's who
In the Middle East, it's all Allah

Sure they're based on gods, but that doesn't mean they literally are gods. And also it's set in a fictional Pokemon world, maybe people do worship genies there

It'll be kinda awkward if I ever fully introduce myself to a Japanese person, they'll probably think I'm some egomaniac.
