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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of more than two years told me in front of all of our friends that he'd trade me for some Playstation 3 games. I laughed it off because I thought he was kidding. He made it clear that he was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. 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 boyfriend who’s rage quit multiple games, screamed cuss words for hitting too many red lights, and broke his new phone when a legendary Pokémon escaped after a raid in Pokémon Go, told me I was too dramatic. Sorry for being depressed that my biopsy results weren’t good. Shit happens, huh? FML
Today, I threatened to break up with my boyfriend over the Trolley Games in Toontown Rewritten for trying to sabotage my scores. We're 24 and 26. FML
Today, my husband started a conversation with, "In Pokémon…" and ended the same conversation with "…and that's why we should divorce." FML
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to beat him up so he could look tough around his friends. When I just stared at him, he added, "Please don't break anything though. Nothing too serious." FML
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I refused to keep him company while he took a shit. FML

You laughed because you can't ever retire from being a Pokemon trainer, right?

That's a pretty serious question. But he's stupid for even asking! Of course he shouldn't.

Don't be jealous that you can't catch em all.

If you've ever played a Pokémon game you know retiring is impossible.

Your boyfriend deserves a better girlfriend. Shame on you for laughing. I'm over 30 and Pokemon is still one of the top priorities in this house, always will be.

I don't see what his age has to do with it? We grew up with pokemon so obviously it is still really popular with us (more so with guys than girls i guess). I'm 21 and still have pokemon...

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being an adult male and also being a Pokemon nerd. If you can't be the Misty to his Ash, then I guess you guys aren't meant to be. I'm 19, my gf is 17, we are both still Poke-nerds and I see nothing wrong with that.

Whats wrong with your brother having a hobby and liking pokemon? I'm a 21 year old female and I still play pokemon. In fact I've already preordered pokemon X.

Just because you have a different opinion doesn't mean your brother should give up something he loves. With this kind of "FML" I wouldn't be suprised if he's asking you if he should quit because you've been giving him shit about it. (Tried to add this to my comment but it timed out)

Don't laugh a lot of us take being a trainer seriously like me twenty five and still the champ of all regions three times four in gen five since it had two sequels instead of one

You hate Pokemon?! Oh no sweetheart, I hope you didn't say that to his face! Pokemon is just one of those things that you always enjoy playing no matter the age. Shit I still do and I'm 19 even my boyfriend enjoys it but he'd rather watch me play it. Perhaps try that.
