What Have You "Learned" From Pokemon?

[Darkness of Zero]

I've learned that there are three types of people.

1. People who treat Pokemon as friends.
2. People who treat Pokemon as tools.
3. People who have nothing better to do than insult others for liking Pokemon.

Never underestimate how delusional, illogical, irrational, whiny, oblivious, bloodthirsty and quick to jump to conclusions various sections of a fanbase can be.

There are plenty f other fandoms guilty of this too, some a whole lot worse.

I learned that if you bother people playing slot machines enough they will give you money to play too.

i know now
you can breath underwater without no oxygen and battle with ease
you have a round light on extremely dark caves
a tiny bird as small as a hawk can fly you to another town in seconds
you can go to houses uninvited and people dont mind
10 year olds can go inside casinos and gamble like there is no tomorrow
you need no food or extra clothes on an adventure, let alone showers
sleep, who needs it
jumping is for sissies
10 year olds can win veterans with decades of experience in seconds
(to be continued)

I've learned that people are completely unable to comprehend that a video game isn't going to emulate real life down to the letter.

Seriously guys.

... seriously, I've learned rubber doesn't conduct electricity. That's where i learned about it first ^_^

 

[Raikou_fan]

Fish are friends, not food. Oh wait, thats wrong. Ummm... I learned how to spell poke.

 

[Crypted Wolf]

I've learned that if Pikichu can beat a Rhydon... all he has to do is aim for the horn.

But seriously, Pokemon taught me you are able to travel through water on the back of a pokemon... (even if it's a tiny little Mudkip or Squrtile)

 

[FlyingTotodile]

That even if I am losing at smething beyond any chace of salvation, all I have to do is beleive in myself and everything will turn my way. Bah!

That it is possible for people to be blown up/electricuted week after week and suffer nothing other than a slight drop in self esteem which is easily fixed!

That as long as Pikachu is near, everything will be A-OK!

Oh, I see. Me, typos don't bother me. If the guy accidentaly spells it as "sward dance" once, it's OK. But to have that many errors, all repeating, that many times is just painful to read.

 

[Killer_Squirtle]

is it just me or is this thread trolling?
Pokemon may not be really educational but its still fun.

I've learned (from Gold and Silver) that Pokemon and Humans are meant to live in Peace, and battle together. (Here we go again with the Peace and Love stuff. Where's the Hippy? )

You didn't know that before?

I mean that pretty much applies to every fanbase doesn't it? Pokémon, Zelda, Mario, Sonic (especally), Naruto (ugh...), Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Japanimation, US animation, retro-addicts, rockers, rappers, interspecies crossover guro yaoi fanfic writers...?

Looking at it from the outside, every fanbase pretty much sucks. You have to just throw away your standards and dive right in to actually enjoy anything on the internet.

The anime is an entirely different beast from the competive scene

The player can surf on something like a remoraid

 

[cocoa_adele]

water conducts electricity
so dont dry your hair in the bath tub

There's a fine, fine line between actually "thinking" you know what you're doing, and knowing what you're doing is actually going to work.

Of course, I'm referring to competitive play.

I've also learned that you can easily tell someone's age, mentality and basic gaming views simply by viewing their team. If it's so predictable, you can pull names from a hat and know it'll be what you expected. This is also a great way to tell the average intellect of the battler; if they're just tossing moves they "claim" are very powerful, then chances are they don't really know. If they can take their time and set up to defeat you with little to no effort, than they're quite clever/intelligent and are capable of being strategic.

I've also learned that general stupidity is assured in some form until otherwise proven wrong. And the fact that it happens so often here doesn't actually help.

A final thing I've learned (from being on these forums), the biggest fans aren't always the ones who you'd expect to be the "sociable/intelligent" ones. It's the ones who are fans, but aren't completely devoted that are usually still "there".

I learned that even if you catch 'em all, they'll just throw 100 new ones at you.

 

[growlithe_master]

i learned that people try to get rid of you by beating you in a pokemon battle.

"oh no, i lost the battle against cyrus. i guess team galactic will take over the world cause he beat me in a pokemon battle."

uh, can you shoot fire from your mouth enough to take down a pokemon without any effort? Didn't think so...

that people can surf- *shot*...on... *shot again* .....a....tin- *shot with machine gun from all angles repetitively*

 

[foxyman1167]

Not really learned much, except how important math really is.

Sigged.

How little things can have great power.
How if you believe in yourself you can acheive anything.
How in the world of Pokemon every single kid will go on a journey and abandon there familys, thus there will be no future leaders and the only things kids will be doing is becoming consumed with power to soon cause the end of the world by greed.
