Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, while I was driving my 27 year old boyfriend 8 hours to a Pokémon event, he realized he didn't bring his DS with him. He cried about it. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years still refuses to memorize my phone number or remember my birthday because he says there is a limited amount of space in his brain and he does not want to push any important information out. FML

Today, I was talking with my friend-turned boyfriend and cutely told him that I could no longer remember all the things that he used to do that bothered me. He told me he could remember every one of mine and listed them all off for me. FML

Today, my boyfriend got angry because I laughed when he asked me if he should retire from being a Pokemon Trainer. He was serious. He's also 21. FML
you can't remember?
Memento
Today, I found a notebook labeled "IMPORTANT INFO" in my boyfriend's nightstand. Looking in, I saw he'd written down a bunch of information about me, like my birthday and things I like. When I asked, he said, "I'm forgetful and didn't want to accidentally be a dick." FML

Today, my boyfriend decided that lunch with his guys was more important than spending time with me. This is the second year in a row that he has cancelled on me. How do I remember the date so well? It's my birthday. FML

IxLovexYouuuu 6
The fact that theyre older makes it more of an FML.......Thats the point...
Stiggy626 25
the fact that they are older makes more sense as to why he knows them

What even?? Pokémon is more for adults and older teenagers than kids if you ask me o.O Not the anime, but the games... obviously

like no one ever was! to catch them is his real test. to train them is his cause. he will travel across the way. searching far and wide. each pokemon to understand, the power that's inside.

Seriously, not that big of a deal. I havent played pokemon in 5 years but I could probably name all the pokemon from the first three groups. They stick in your head when you play the games so much. I think I had 200+ hours on Pokemon Ruby.

Lol, so true. I have 100+ hours on each of the four of my Pokemon games and they're not the first major save files, either. ... *attempts to make the Forever Alone face* TwT

Well, I don't know how long you've been dating, but something like that is pretty easy. It's been in his system for years, and if you've been dating for a short time, it's easier to remember something he's seen and played for years.

Oh my gosh, I can too! FYL for you, but that's still awesome.

He's good. I can only name the Pokemon from the first season.... =O but that's because I was 8 at the time! I feel sorry for you.
Stiggy626 25
those are really the only ones that matter anyway

Pokemon have more importance

Don't stifle his dreams of catching 'em all by making him remember birthdays, woman!

I'm really shcoked at how many Pokemon FMLs there are. It really doesn't seem the the game should be that popular anymore, yet this stuff keeps happening. You would have been a major dork to name all the pokemon even when the game was in its heyday, so who the hell can still do it now?
iLOLatURpain69 7
The games nowadays seen dumb to me. Too many new poemon. Back in the good ol' GameBoy Advanced days, pokemon had excellent games. Its really no different then the millions who spend their time playin CoD.

In the old days there was a song that played after every TV episode that named all of them. Without even trying it was quite easy to memorize because of the Pokemon Rap. Over the years I've forgotten many but I still could probably do about half.

Ha, I would be willing to bet that you've never even played a pokemon game and are just riding the "pokemon is for losers and nerds" bandwagon like so many others, I don't play it anymore, but back when i was like 7, it was the shit, you can't call the original lame and have played it.
iLOLatURpain69 7
139 - Exactly right!
Mattxy8 5
COD is way funner than pokemon. I can still name every pokemon before the DS and i havent really played in like 6years.
SGT_DBL 15
#139, I played Pokemon when I was a kid too. But thats just it... WHEN I WAS A KID. Adults don't have any excuse for being able to remember every Pokemon but not remember signifiant details about people they are in a romantic relationship with. So yeah, if that describes you then I'm going to put you in the "losers and nerds" club.
