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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my boyfriend can name each and every Pokémon, but can't remember my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to take him 30 minutes away to meet his friends so he could go fishing, adding that they wouldn't be gone all night. I dropped him off 13 hours ago, and he doesn't have a phone. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after driving around to build up hours for his permit. He then decided it was a good idea to quickly drive over to catch a Pokemon nearby. He didn't count on getting pulled over for texting and driving while underage without an adult though. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me. We're in the middle of nowhere and have a 4-hour drive home. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were driving back to college. He broke up with me 2 hours into the 3 hour drive. I had to sit in the car with him for the last hour. 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, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML
Today, my fiancé forgot his wallet. He realized this once we were 5 hours away from home, before checking into a hotel, that had reservations under his name. 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
Today, my family had to travel for a funeral. On the drive down, I saw that my son had brought his Switch. I always suspected he didn't care about anything but himself, but this hurts worse than ever confirming that he prizes his stupid video games over us and our collective grief. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, FML readers really like Pokemon. I never understood how people can like that stuff, there are things in life that are so much better. FYL for having a child for a bf, YDI.

Well, 53, you could say that about a lot of things... no need to judge just because it doesn't appeal to you.

Pikachu is supposed to be a mouse.
pingpongpenguin 3
why can meowth talk and the other pokemon can only say their names.
Spastastic 6
I haven't seen the show in years, but as far as I remember he laboriously trained himself to talk. It's just that one meowth, not all of them. Yeep, I'm becoming the, um... Pokemon-answers-person...
pingpongpenguin 3
I haven't watched it in 7 years .. yes you're very helpful :)
Spastastic 6
I maybe wouldn't be this vocal on these recent Pokemon fmls if I wasn't currently playing SoulSilver, and getting really into it... Aw, who am I kidding, I'd do it anyway.

yeah. tell me about it. the only time I've seen them powerful was in the recent eps of sinnoh league victors in the pokemon contests. otherwise they're all squeak and no bite. and they have really lame cheer attacks.

I don't like pokemon..promotes animal fights..you keep 'em locked up in balls all day..make 'em fight...and you don't even feed them, you just squirt 'em with potions (water) I think it gives kids the wrong idea.

Who would cry for a DS? be reasonable OP, he would only cry if it was a PSP or an iPod touch.

Dear OP, I need his picture, I'm making a visual dictionary and need something for the entry "Child-man", preferably a picture of him crying at the pokemon event.

Spastastic, you know it is ok to stop commenting on the same FML when you reach 4, right?
stephanieeDawnx 0
168- it may promote animal fights, but they do feed them. Brock (before he left) was a pokemon chef, & would cook food for the pokemon. :D Plus, some of the trainers keep the pokemon out of their poke balls. They think it makes them stronger. I think it's soul silver, or maybe platinum.... On one of them, you walk around with your pokemon following you. :3

I know pokemon is so...so um how do you put it? childish.
coldasfire 23
Who are you to say that any age, even a 50 y/o can't play Pokemon? I see what you're saying, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you don't need to judge it.
jpwdragon 0
From this we can conclude, you are a pedophile.
okiedoks 0
or the guy is a pedophile. or she's just stating that he was 27 to point out how f'd it is that he's into poke on and crying.

Anyone who says Pokemon is just for kids, check out the recent Pokemon-related fml in the intimacy section. Us fans really came out of the woodwork.
