If you’re anything like me, then you’ve logged way too many hours already into the world of Pokémon Legends Arceus. I may or may not have spent like thirty hours in the game before beating the second frenzied lord. I’m not even gonna deny it - I’m obsessed.

But there’s something different about this Pokémon game. Game Freak has always been pretty good about hiding bits and pieces of Poké-lore into the background of the games and the bookshelves, but with this jaunt into history - we’re literally experiencing the lore that Pokémon is built upon. And it’s brought with it this seriously heavy religious strife between the Pearl and Diamond clans. So what’s going on there? Can we as Christians learn from the feud going on between these two factions? Or could they learn from us? Let’s talk about it.
