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

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

If you hate Pokemon, then you're just not normal. Ever see that meme? One does not simply outgrow Pokemon? It's something that can't be explained. If you don't get it, you just don't get it. You can never truly retire from being a Pokemon Master once you start. :(

Agree! I still play the games and I'm 21. I have all the cards from when I was little, some in Japanese and French, and every game that they ever made/sold in the US. I still have all the movies, even though the 1st one is the best of all of them, and I'm getting the new ones in October. My son is three and we both love the movies. I am a true die hard Pokemon lover and trainer and not afraid to admit it. :) and I will not stop till I have every Pokemon made even though the original 151 will always be the best.

I have tried for years to quit Pokemon, but I have never been able to. Especially when all my friends around me are playing it. I don't know, I just have to give in. It's just that one time that I crumble to pressure. If my boyfriend hated me playing Pokemon, well... Let's just say... Getting off of Pokemon requires years of therapy.

I would have laughed too. Why would you ever retire from being a Pokemon trainer?

A lot of people see Pokemon as a children's game (and let's face it, it is), but it's like Spongebob. If, at any time during your youth, you go anywhere near it, you'll keep playing it for a long time. It's as addictive as cigarettes, but without the harmful health effects.
