Pokemon: It is a commercial fantasy video game and media franchise about capturing, training, and battling fictional creatures,a Vatican official statement in the early 2000s, defended the franchise, stating it focused on friendship and had no negative moral effects. Most modern players view it purely as secular entertainment

DragonQuest yhe games borrow heavily from medieval European fantasy aesthetics. The presence of fictional clergy and holy sites functions purely to drive the fantasy narrative and provide gameplay utilities. They promote no real world faith.

FOCUS: FANTASY

Only in moderation if you get food stamps every month.

According to the bible, god rested on the 7th day. So I think that means it's OK to take a break from working or looking for work, and play games or rest.

If God exists, I think he would approve of religious games, as long as they are not too violent or disrespectful.

I'm playing a game where I fly around in a spaceship:
