Today, my mom and I somehow got into a serious argument over the ethics of capturing and training Pokémon. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and I got into a fight about a topic we agreed on. Seems like we're destined to never get along. FML
Today, working my job, I had to explain to a kid that Pokemon is owned by Nintendo and they don't make it for the Xbox. Upset by this, he took hold of my leg and started biting. I'm also suspended, because his mother complained when I kicked him off me. FML
Today, I found myself arguing with a 6-year-old over a game of tag. FML
Today, I was playing Pokémon Go and I was trying to take a picture of my Pokémon when a woman said, "Are you filming me?" really angrily at me. "No, I'm playing Pokémon go," I said, then tried to show her my Pokémon but it disappeared from the screen, and she said, "You ARE filming me." FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, my husband got angry and stormed out of the house because he claims I wasn't pressing the buttons he told me to while playing Pokemon. FML
Today, my brother thought it'd be hilarious to tease a group of Pokémon players. They thought it'd be hilarious to beat both our asses. FML
Today, I was playing a video game that required me to hunt a few animals. My mom walked in, saw what I was doing, then went into her psycho vegan mode and started yelling at me. She basically grounded me for "murdering" pixels on a screen. FML
Today, I found a guy I play Pokémon Go with on Facebook. We decided to meet up at a popular hunting spot so we could organize a trade. His wife showed up out of nowhere, causing a huge scene and threatening to kick my ass. I had my husband and kids with me. FML
Today, my husband started a conversation with, "In Pokémon…" and ended the same conversation with "…and that's why we should divorce." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Pokemon is a serious subject.

She must be a supporter of Pokemon's PETA group, team Plasma.

Best argument ever. And the ethics of catching and training are very serious. How else would u have the strongest pokemon?

What is worse is in the cartoon, the parents of the kids let their 10yr old children roam alone in the woods. Searching for wild and potentially dangerous animals to train up to fight other pokemon. Kind of like an illegal **** fighting ring for 10yr olds.

Tehe, sounds like my Dad - when Black and White came out we ended up in a full scale argument over battling Pokemon 'cause I started to feel bad. He then bitched me out till I had a bulbasaur on my team. Good times ^_^ I had to transfer that little bitch from leaf green...

I don't see the problem here. You have a Pokémom, and you two were talking about a serious matter. I've had a talk like this before myself.

It is kind of an evil concept if you think about it. You beat a pokemon until it comes close to fainting so you can capture it. Once you've captured it you force it to fight other pokemon until the opponent faints. However, pokemon is the best thing ever and I wish it was real.

70- Hmm, sounds like Spartacus for kids to me. :)

I didn't know what "Spartacus" was so I googled it. Wikipedia said that Spartacus was the leader of a slave up-rising in ancient Rome. Are you saying that the pokemon are going to bust out of their poke balls to overthrow their human masters??? OH SHIT!!! Why did I train them to level 100??? They're gonna kick my flabby human ass!!!

80- Lol, okay, that is who Spartacus Was, what I was referring to was the tv series Spartacus: blood and sand. They depict his life, capture, training and uprising in a bit of a fantastically unrealistic way, that relates to what they appear to do with Pokemon as far as I can tell, but only if Pokemon was rated 18A, not G. ;P

Love Pokemon, I'm the type of nerdy girl who gets upset though that they don't have a blonde character u can be, I'm in middle school hahahaha

The Pokemon regions are supposed to be based of Japanese regions. Kanto is a real region there, the maps are based of Japan's geography, except for Unova, which is based of America. So of course you won't be able to play as a blonde character if they're all (maybe Gen 5) Japanese, and a naturally blonde person isn't really normal in Japan. Besides, you play what you get. If Gamefreak let you customize your character, I'd make mine look like Goku.
