I was on Yahoo! Answers (being bored... like I normally am) and I keep seeing constant threads about Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Of course I click on them, trying to give the best advice I can. What used to come up were 'Omg Help, I'm such a n00b that I can't use google!!! D:...' questions, but now I've seen so many trade thread, most of which ask for Arceus/Shaymin/Darkrai (hacked, obviously).
Now I just shake my head and move on. There's a million things I want to say to the kid, but I now they wouldn't listen.
Another one was where a person was asking how to get off of the Sevii Islands and get back to Cinnabar. There are about 6 or 7 answers so I click on the thread to see what they were. The first person that posted (as first people normally do) said something along the lines of 'Idk dude, Gl man...' which made me so irritated, so enraged, so... MAD that I had to do the only thing I could at that moment. Give him a thumbs-down >(!! I move onto the next post and some Genius obviously knew the answer "u dont have anyone that know fly? fly or surf dude!!!11". I shake my head and move onto the 3rd post. Now, many people on Yahoo! like to copy others answers who they think are right. So, of course, they say "surf". The next one? "Ya, surf or fly", and the next, "Fly". Someone thought they could get the uber-awesome-apple-waffle 10 points by extending their answer, "Yeah, u use a pokemon that nows fly and it brings up the map thing and u use fly to get back to cinnamon island! i hope this helped =D". Ugh, those end tag lines make me sick =P... Finally I come across someone who knows SOMETHING about anything! "You have to get Loselle in the Berry Forest and clear the Bikers off the island." I was so happy that I must have given him at least 15 thumbs-ups! ... But I think that thread left a permanent scar...
What are some of your Pokemon-advice-giving-other-forum experiences that make you want to smack the person who posted. (If you have other experiences too, feel free to share them!)
