Today, my mother was watching me play Pokémon. She walked over to the TV and pulled the plug before ranting about how shameful it is that her 17 year old daughter plays Pokémon. She then sat down at the computer and started playing Farmville. FML

Hey guys, I'm the OP of this FML. I was playing XD- Gale of Darkness, one of my favourites. Alas there is no 'elite 4' as such in the Orre region, I was in the middle of catching a rare Wooper at a PokeSpot which I could have traded for an awesome Larvitar. Sigh. Rich world problems, I know. And yes, shock horror, I am a female that plays Pokemon, le gasp. And also I do play old-school Mario and stuff, I've been a Nintendo fangirl ever since I was little, occasionally migrating to other consoles to play things like Skyrim (No CoD for me though, thank you very much. Blegh.)

Did you have the guts to call your mother out on her hypocrisy or did you just take her rantings like a little bitch?

OP, when i was your age we were either playing video games ( super nintendo), having sex or doing drugs. I would remind your mother of these 3 teenage fundamentals and say" well, I guess I will go find something else to do."

Kill her. Or if you want to do something more legal, kill all her crops etc on Farmville. Or, unplug the computer and say how disgraceful it is for a grown woman to be playign Farmville.

Am I the only one that's glad to be old enough to have missed the Pokemon phenomenon? I am? Ahem, right. Moving on...

Don't worry. You are never to old to jump onto the pokemon band wagon Doc. You can even teach your child(ren) when they are older. Since one of them now knows the word "****" already you won't have to worry about them learning it on their own when they get hyper beamed by a Dragonite at the end of the Elite Four.

I hopped on the band wagon a few months ago, actually, and my life has been infinitely cooler since. It's never too late, Doc.

Hyperbeamed? By a what now? I think I'll stick with Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein.

I find myself appreciating Pokemon and wonderous authors and such. You can have a healthy balance!
