Today, my boyfriend gave me serious shit because I couldn't name 10 Pokémon. He said he even considered dumping me. Glad to know he has his priorities straight. FML

Hey, I didn't think this would get published, but here it is! Now for some explanations: 1. I did watch Pokemon when I was younger and I liked it. When he dared me to name 10 first gen Pokemon I was sure I could do it ... Guess my memory is not that good, but I already know that :D 2. He did admit eventually that he was sorta kinda joking. I knew he couldn't be serious about dumping me, but he did take the joke a bit too far, like yelling at me and sulking for half an hour. 3. I do take interest in his interests, we talk a lot about the games he plays and the series he watches, and do a lot of stuff together. We do have a lot in common. It's just that where he likes Pokemon to the point of fangirling about it, I'm the same with Harry Potter and Dr. Who. 4. I asked him to name ten spells from Harry Potter and he couldn't do it, so I guess we're even! Ha! :D

The real question is, what happened to your childhood?

Wow, all of the people blatantly agreeing with the boyfriend, and those who aren't even doing it in a joking manner....what a sad society we have now. And for ****'s sake, while it's good to try things your partner is into, there'll be some things you just won't be into. Ease up on her, folks.

What if Pokemon is one of the "musts" that OP's boyfriend had? I know that I have some things that, if you didn't enjoy them too, the relationship would not work (Star Wars and video games, for example. My two favorites.) Maybe Pokemon was just OP's boyfriend's favorite. I see nothing wrong with not wanting to date someone that doesn't share your most favorite hobby. Also, keep in mind the OP's follow up that shows that OP's boyfriend was joking anyways.

POKÉMON WAS SERIOUSLY ******* EVERYWHERE FROM THE 90'S UP UNTIL NOW. EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW YOU SHOULD KNOW AT LEAST 10!!! Also, what is sad about society is the fact that, there are still racists, and bigots, and misogynistic people in 2016. And the people that aren't like that are the exact opposite and are offended by ABSOLUTELY ******* EVERYTHING!!!!

Ask him if he can name ten fashion designers

No, because I have 3 sisters and my mom and I still can only name Calvin Klein (I don't even know if that counts)

How are you that immune to the pop cultural osmosis of pokemon? They had a rap for the original 150! The show was everywhere in the late 90's to early 2000's. I can understand not knowing a ton, but there's more than ten in Smash Brothers for Pete's sake.
