Japonic comovision, like the rest of East Asia, comprises a vastly rich and diverse set of spiritual beliefs structured around several spirit guardians called shin and minor deities called kami.
Each region has its own folklore and its own set of spirit guardians or deities. because of this, a revered entity in one town could be frowned upon in another one. Different regions can come up with a creation myth on their own. In the case of Pokémon, a JAPANESE, franchise, we see every region come up with a foundational myth of their own.
Both kami and shin are represented by the character 神 which is pronounced SHIN as in SHINTO (I.E. THE JAPANESE RELIGION, YOU STUPID FUCK)
