The thousands of years old tradition from non-Abrahamic Persia, (in fact a proto-IE region with shared religious rites with Slavic, Celtic and Germanic Europe), predating not only the splits of Christianity into Eastern Orthodox and Other, but of Christianity actually existing, doesn’t show it was a Pagan tradition?
What else do you call non-Abrahamic religious rites?
(And apparently new evidence has since backed up Bede’s account of Pagan Oestra in the British Isles, too.)
There have been more discoveries since Grimm boys, and despite earlier scepticism scholars are now mostly accepting that there was an Eostre diety worshipped in Europe around the Spring Equinox.
New findings and archeo-lingustics have supported Grimms and Bede, so the existence (culturally) and worship of Oestra (or however your 1000BC Celto-Germanic language spelt it) is now generally accepted by scholars (and anyone who isn’t pushing an anti-intellectual, and often antisemitic, “war on Christianity” agenda).
Ah, to live in the non-capitalist, non-comoddified pokémon society where most things are done for social good rather than self gain.

So we get 37 plays written as popular culture, it makes sense that we get a lot of newly attested words used in the popular culture of the day.
Yes, that they don’t/didn’t have enough freedom is always a legitimate reason to invade an occupy a nation.
A troubled teen runaway cosplaying as his dead teen crush cosplaying as himself cosplaying as a travelling actor cosplaying as a professional torturer?
The first comic with the word “vegan” I’ve seen maybe ever. Well done this cartoonist.
I think you’ve focused on the extraordinary conditions of the protagonists, and ignored the features of the world for normal people.
Most people do not battle their pokémon regularly.
Pokémon are partners, not slaves - and the people who treat their pokémon as objects are consistently bad and harmful of society. And you’ll note that this is an area that villainous teams focus on.
There is a lack of poverty, healthcare is free, education is free, and there isn’t hunger or homelessness.
Society works to support each other without the profit motive. Except for those who push into competitive battling, and criminals.
