Pokemon fandom issues

  • This isn't really another rant about the Pokemon fandom (or maybe it is somewhat) but I'm so sick of the fandom that I find myself visiting Zelda sites, 4chan and youtube to escape from it all. I'm sick of all the old anime arguments and conflict. I keep remembering that it's just an anime and the only aspect that should be important to me is Shinji and that I don't need the anime to enjoy him because if I really try, I can draw Shinji better than the animators half the time. In fact just recently I drew Shinji so well that I decided that I'm going to use that drawing for reference and not an actual screenshot.


    Only problem is that the bottom of his face seems off
    :/

    so basically using my blog here because I don't come here enough with my problems.

  • Well, be happy you haven't been called something really hateful just because you're a fan of a certain shipping. I'm not talking about the popular shippings. Let's just say that I could have taken the person to court for false allegations and harassment if he really pushed the issue.

  • Sadly, Pokémon is probably one of the most laid-back fandoms I've ever been in.

  • True that. There are just some fandoms where there is no room for criticizing at all. And if you do decide to be bold enough to criticize, you get mobbed. *coughtwilightcough*

    If you're talking about the anime section, I think it's improved a lot ~ The only thing I don't like about it is the "Sick of Ash" thread because it has an infestation of a bug ~ Otherwise, I'm pretty much fine with it now.

  • Actually Jorah, I'm just sick of the fandom as a whole. At the anime sections of SPPf and Bulbagarden, there is too much going on and I realize that the more I stay away from the Pokemon sites or at least the forums anime-centric, I feel this wave of relief wash over me. Zelda is my main escape and so is other anime and art.

    I still like the characters like Shinji though.

    Shinji!!! <3333 Sorry. . I just saw Shinji first. . >.>
    Naw, that's ok, I understand how you feel.
