Dr. David Brown, Pastor Emeritus of the First Baptist Church in Oak Creek, has a Masters in Theology and a PhD in History, specializing in the history of the English Bible. In addition to his study of the English Bible he is also president of Logos Communications Consortium. For years he has conducted research on witchcraft and the occult. He has written various research papers on topics such as, The Dark Facts About Fantasy Role Playing Games.In the 1990's, a Pokémon craze broke out that came to the West later that decade. Then in 2016, Pokémon Go came about and took the world by storm and guess what? That storm is resurging.Jim noted that in 2019, there were 1.5 billion Pokémon cards printed. That more than doubled in 2020 to 3.2 billion cards. Then it more than tripled by 2023 to 9.7 billion cards printed that single year. That's aside from the Pokémon toys, mugs, lunchboxes, watches, hats, gloves, sleeping bags, bedding sets, plush toys, clothing items, video games, cartoons, DVD's and more.Dr. Brown began by noting another shocking statistic. There are more than 90 million people involved in one of the aspects of Pokémon. 39% of those are women with the rest being men. So people of all ages are involved with the average age being 24.Dr. Brown described Pokémon as occultic and immoral. Parents don't seem to understand this and that would be due to the lack of a biblical worldview. Dr. Brown speaks from that perspective as he talks about the doctrine that's being advocated by Pokémon, what values are being promoted, the power behind it all, the origins of the characters and whether this is an agenda being pushed on our children.
