I wasn't trying to be rude.  I was saying it as my character.

In this version, with them being impossible to catch insanely powerful, maybe people would consider them gods, but not creators.  They haven't proven they have anywhere near the power needed to create a world or life.  Anyone who was an actual atheist would probably just consider them to be insanely powerful pokemon, though.

Religious debate brewing lol

Basically, Arceus is the only big bad legendary Pokemon confirmed to exist having shown itself. Ho-oh and Lugia have been seen but only sparingly. Groudon Kyogre and Rayquaza haven't been seen in ages, worshiping them is like worshiping Greek gods today

Any atheist who doesn't accept Arceus as a creator god would see it more as just a titan, hyper strong and intelligent pokemon, or what ever their personal preference was.
