In theory, pokemon, Duel monsters, Cartoons, they all exist. IF you believe in the different dimension theory. How did Tolkien get all these amazing ideas of wars, creatures, goblins, orcs, elves? Some believe he got the ideas through meditation or had some form of pychic awareness.
I believe Anime characters and creatures are real. You just gotta be open minded like tolkien dears.
Fact is, fairy tales and stories come from somewhere. And there's a tiny hair of truth to the matter.

Tolkein got his ideas from folklore and imagination. It's not exactly a big mystery.
He was a linguistics professor who studied ancient languages and works of literature. All of his works can be viewed in an exercise in linguistics, as he applied various concepts of language to the creation of the various languages within his books.
Otherwise, many of the concepts are also metaphorical responses to the horrors that he experienced as a soldier in the trenches of World War One.
The forces of evil are consumptive, blighting the earth with machinery, fire and war. They only pervert and destroy. The forces of good seek to preserve this, and yet in their struggle to do so they have trouble not becoming tainted by their experiences and are therefore forever changed. This rather well defines the result of war, and the cost it exacts from its soldiers.
Suggesting that this was instead borne of another dimension rather belittles the vast intelligence, creativity, and experiences of Mr. Tolkein. ;)
That being said, there are plenty of theories suggesting that there are alternate realities. This does not mean that they are not based in logical fact however. Just because something is imagined, does not mean it was possible for such a universe to actually create itself. Each universe would still have to be defined by laws of physics that allow them to coexist alongside other universes.
The grain of truth found in fiction does not stem from the possibility of their existence. It stems from the practice within creative writing of instilling a bit of folk lore, day to day life, or other aspects of the world we live in to the story. Any good writer, and many bad ones, do this so as to make the story more easy to relate to.
Confusing this with the possibility of the existence of pokemon, anime, and Hobbits... well, people will believe whatever they want to make their existence more meaningful, I suppose.
Actually Nancy's post is true. I just skimmed the post so I didn't get the username. ::::| The thing is... We tell the creators su8conscious and they make it.... hopefully. So I know you may think Starwater has lost 8ut I'm typing through herrrrrrrr almost like a possession. ::::) And do not flame 8ecause then you are very single minded. / K33P B3L31V1NG! >:]
