From what I remember, no character in Pokemon is shown going to any sort of
religious house of worship, and there doesn't seem to be much if any mention
of religion/religious beliefs until Sinnoh, where there is lore following
Arceus's creation of the world. Are there any organized religions in the
world, worshiping either Arceus or some other deity/pantheon?

Are there any religions in Pokemon?


Neither in the Anime, nor in the Games or the Manga is ever mentioned
something about religions. Religious aspects can be seen sometimes (like your
example of Arceus, but also the wise men in the Sprout Tower or the Slowpoke-
temple in the anime), but they aren't a real topic.

Either in the anime or in one of the games, it's mentioned that most of the
people at least in Lavender Town are religious. But besides of that, nothing
was mentioned in the anime/manga/games.

Well, I don't know if this would work, but there was that big crystal flower
tractor beam hidden underground under Geosenge Town in X and Y, and the long
living AZ used it to kill off dozens of Pokémon to bring back his floette,
correct? I think that Lysandre, for the sake of his 'beautiful' world, sought
to unleash that crystal flower tractor beam and eradicate all Pokémon as his
duty, so I guess he believed religiously in a world without Pokémon. (That's
also a little rich from Lysandre, cause he would be seen using Pokémon, jk)
Otherwise, I dunno. It in some aspects depends on how you view the games
itself, and how it relates to real life beliefs, places, and all sorts. It was
basically Lysandre's religion that, 'let's say there is a god, and he came to
me and told me to try making a Pokemon free world, and I agreed, cause I liked
the idea, and I want to achieve that.' Sorta like that. He sorta is following
that 'God' that wanted him to do it. (Even though the god wasn't mentioned at
all, that's still what I think)

I don't know, but hope this helped! \- Matt

Hope I don't get down rated.

It's not a religion from the present Pokemon World, but in the manga series
_[The Electric Tale of Pikachu (Dengeki
Pikachu)](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/The_Electric_Tale_of_Pikachu)_
, in the fourth chapter ([Haunting my
Dreams](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/ET04)), Brock says to Ash that
in "ancient times" the people who lived near the Pokemon Tower in Lavender
Town worshipped Pokemon as gods:
