>>51376661SMT's influence on pokemon is debatable, though Tajiri did cite Wizardry as an influence once, and that game itself had some surprising Kabbalah references, and Wizardry itself is SMT's big inspiration. Anyways it's kinda hilarious since SMT is literally what they accuse pokemon of. They claim gym badges are King Solomon's ring and that Pokemon are demons, meanwhile SMT's logo is literally ripped from the Seal of Solomon.
The big irony is that by christcuck definitions, Pokemon is hugely satanic, but they're too dumb and American to realize it. There's so many pokemon based on youkai and Shinto beliefs, pokemon that act as lowercase-G gods, psychics and ESP, but they don't know anything beyond famous iconic Pakucho. It's kinda like they hated Harry Potter for the cauldrons and brooms and wands, but won't get any actual obscure references to alchemy and medieval occultism Rowling used for flavoring or random items.
Then you realize these are "satanic", and then realize that word is meaningless.
