A Disclaimer for Religion (Please Read First!)

Here's the Google Doc for those who don't want to read this on the forum: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sFa ... sp=sharing

Please-Please-Pleeeease read this in its entirety!
The viewpoints of these religions borrow things from others and are in some way all interconnected. It is generally accepted by every single religion that all of the pixelmon deities (what we would OOCly call Legendaries) exist in one form or another, and it would be unusual for someone to claim that a certain deity pixelmon does not exist at all. What differs among religions is what they are focused on and their viewpoints on certain things. Just like in the real world, you do not have to strictly follow these religions. Ultimately your characters can believe whatever they want regardless of what religion they claim to be, just like the real world. It would just be strange for, say, a Groudonist to worship Kyogre instead. Many things are left up to interpretation, so you’re free to have your character believe whatever they want!

Even if it is not directly mentioned, there are some basic standards among religions that are usually accepted. For example, even if a religion around Groudon never really goes into detail about it, there is still a belief in an afterlife of some form. The default for these unmentioned things would be Arceist beliefs, as that is one of the oldest religions and almost every major religion in some way borrows things from it. Some religions may even be way-of-life teachings and might not touch existential things such as creation, life, death, and afterlife.

Many viewpoints are conflicting and the exact truth is left ambiguous, so as not to offend or discredit any religion. To further avoid offending people, we will not mention viewpoints on social issues in our posts on these religions. If you have questions about what a particular religion would think about a certain social issue, you are encouraged to ask a Lore Team Member.

The Lore Team will never make comparisons between the religions created here and the religions of the real world. While someone may be able to make comparisons between elements of these pixelmon religions and actual religions, this is because actual religions are all we have to base on. These religions are not meant as a statement on the current state of religion in the real world. These simply exist to enrich the world of Toro-League

If you have any questions, comments, or wish to expand on any religion, as always you are encouraged to contact a member of the Lore Team!
