American Gods: Neil Gaiman wonders if there might be a Pokémon god 

will follow a clash between the old gods and the new gods, but Neil Gaiman believes some people are now worshipping at the altar of Pickachu.

During Friday’s panel for the show, which is based on Gaiman’s 2001 novel, the author began discussing the ideology of the new gods, who reflect society’s fixation with media, celebrity, money, and technology. His description of one of the new gods, Technical Boy, led him to an interesting revelation.

“I very much doubt that the Technical Boy believes in gods, except as disposable and outmoded concepts,” said Gaiman. “He believes in what’s on your screen, he believes in apps, he believes in holding your attention. But then last night, when we were driving into the hotel, I passed a place, just a grass medium in the middle of the road, and there were about 200 people on it all standing there and I thought maybe it was some kind of religious thing, and then I realized they were all holding their screens and looking for their Pokémon, and I thought, ‘They’re worshipping.’”

Besides the possible future season appearance of the Pokémon god (we can dream), the big news from the show’s panel was the appearance of Kristen Chenoweth, who is set to play Easter.
