Definitely confusion through all of my Pokemon Games. My opponent needs just one small hit to die and here I am with my Pokemon slowly killing itself >:|. Usually my Pokemon hit themselves 200 times or something during one battle :P.

Confusion and infatuation are both merely annoying, because it's easy to get rid of. You change your Pokémon, confusion or infatuation gone!

Poison, paralysis and sleep are my most hated status ailments. Poison lingers after battle, and if you haven't got an Antidote with you, you'll either be using Potions to keep your Pokémon alive, or it just faints. Paralysis is just like confusion an infatuation, but more powerful. It lingers after battle, and it cuts your Pokémon's speed. I think sleep is my single most hated ailment. I'm fighting a strong Pokémon, and my Pokémon falls asleep. And you'd think it would be shook awake after taking a hit, but no... even a Hyper Beam won't wake you up! Before your Pokémon wakes up in battle, it might already have fainted.

So, sleep is definetly my most hated status ailment.

Confusion. I always get a little annoyed whenever I see "It hurt itself in its confusion!" I seem to get the worst luck with it, too.

The others suck too, but there's nothing worse than being incapable of doing anything for me because your Pokémon is too attracted to the other to move.

All of them annoy me, but I think Confusion annoys me the most, 'cause it always seems to happen to me when I'm so close to winning! Also, Flinching is annoying as well, although I love it when it happens to someone I'm battling haha.

I hate Confusion, Sleep, and Infatuation the most. Confusion is just plain annoying and I feel like throwing the DS down when someone uses Supersonic or it says: "It hurt itself in its confusion!"

Sleep is just annoying when I get afflicted, but even more annoying when I put another Poké to sleep. My Pokémon sleeps for like 5 turns, but the foe sleeps for even less when I afflict it.

Infatuation is really annoying, particularly when Audino training. I'm unable to attack most of the time, and the Pokémon that used Attract takes advantage by torturing my Pokémon. But one thing I'm really glad about is that there are male Audinos, because my Black team is mostly male.

Poison, mainly because it affects them outside battle too and gives this horrible sense or urgency to get to a Center before they faint.
Plus I hate the overworld effect and sound.

Confusion, Infatuation, and Flinching because the A.I. always cheats with it. Let me use those attacks and they shrug them off.

Well sweeties, I definitely hate Paralyze and Confusion.

For Paralyze, not only it cuts your speed, but there's a 25% chance of not attacking, which makes it annoying.

For Confusion, it seems that it will always hit itself and will never snap out of confusion. It's so aggravating.

I hate burns. It always cripples me. I hate confusion too, because it's more annoying than anything. For some reason, poison never really does much to me though. Oh, and infatuation... Oh my god I hate that move.

I definitely have to go with Infatuation... especially after all the struggles I've had against Whitney. Second to that would definitely be the lucky poisons some wild Pokemon seem to get all the time...

Infatuation definitely. Isn't it meant to have a 50/50 chance or something?
Whenever I have it I have like a 1/4 chance of hitting it's so irritating!
