  • Certain people in the world feed off antagonizing others. They know that many people have a great liking to many different pokemon things, form the game to the show to teh cards. They take this knowledge, try to sound smart, and try to get under our skin just because they like to stir up trouble.

    They may try to put pokemon down, but I think they are being very unsuccessful. The new show has a larger number of veiwers than before, although I can't prove it, merchandizing is back up, cards sales are going up ( again can't prove it.) But I can prove that the pokemon toys are now being sold in Walmart, whic hasn't been done since back when it was a major fad in 1999. myself I own four of the new toys, still in their boxes and hanging on teh wall. The haters can mock me all they want. I would just raise my nose at them, share a few peices of my mind with them, and go about my business.

    I don't know as the haters mock us because they want to stir up trouble (unless they have a personal problem with someone who happens to like pokemon). I think that they just genuinely think it's stupid, or (as someone said earlier) they're going along with the crowd. Of course, there probably are some out there who get their kicks from antagonizing others.

  • Well it all falls down to how people view things... we cant stop them from hating pokemon.. and they cant stop us from liking it. =/ I would just ignore how other's feel about it, and be on my way. Cant forget that we all like different things, so weither there saying it's stupid because other's did, or not, it's still how they feel about it. So why dont we all just be happy and let them waste there time trying to set us down? ^_^

    I agree with that. But, sometimes, it just makes everything more pleasant if people keep their opinions to themselves once in a while (referring to the pokemon haters). After all, its not really necessary for them to tell us how stupid or boring it is. If we watch it or play it and it makes us happy, than what's wrong with that, you know? Granted, I think everyone should voice their opinion, but its not necessary to flame what you don't like.

    Oh ya Arabs are against pokemon

    WRONG!! I live in the United Arab Emirates and here the people LOVE Pokemon. [Okay. So there are a couple of PokeHaters that might want to kill me] The only Arab country that are against Pokemon is Saudi Arabia. They choip off your head with just a word of Pokemon. x_X

    However, Pokemon is mosrtly hated worldwide due to the possible argument that Pokemon contains violence and animal abuse. "Pokemon battle each other because the trainers want to have more money." "It is a form of gambling," and all that. o.o;

    ---------------------------------------
    The show itself is very poorly done, at first it was okay, but it's been going down so much new pokemon and new characters are popping up every episode.
    Poorly done? You think your A****can cartoons are any better than that? At least your drawings look disgusting!

    Too much characters? Excuse me, but have you seen such thing called Digimon?
    ------------------------------------------------
    People and pokemon, somehow the game and show combined have an acute side effect on people. After watching the show and playing the video game the fans seem to lose the fragile grip on reality, half convinced that pokemon is real. Pokemon has brainwashed people, turning them into weirdeos that entertain a conversation without mentioning their prescious game cartrage or TV show, If you disagree with you in an way they will blow up and go completely beserk.
    Oh...what a stereotype!

    Half convinced that Pokemon is real?
    How can Pokemon not be real when it is already created?
    At least, the word Pokemon exists!
    Pokemon exist, so it is real. Only that it exists as toys and games, I mean it is still identified as real. How can you play pokemon if Pokemon is not real?
    The game is already released, it is a fact that it is real! Only that they are not living creatures in actual life!
    Use your brain before you speak(or type)!
    ---------------------------------------------
    The creatures. The pokemon themselves are just a scam to get the public eye. Looking at them, notice all of them are either cute and cuddly or are powerful looking and big. The pokemon are just puppets to "aww" the brainless masses into buying this junk.
    I'm afraid that you are the real brainless one instead of us!
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    The N64 games. I mean how bad can It get? using a system you think you'd get better results right? Pokemon stadium brang us even less, I personally was disapointed with the animations feeling they could have put more effort into it, but more the point this game delivers even less than the pokemon game boy game did. It's the same thing, all you do is fight, now you don't have anything to do BUT fight.
    Better than your violent games with blood and death and porn and everything!
    Fight? You think Pokemon fight? Ha ha! What a joke! Pokemon fight!? Its only a situation for them to have exercise, have some fun, make friends, and to learn. Not to kill each other. Pokemon never kills!
    Oh my good lord! The animal kingdom is just so much more violence than Pokemon is!
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Now about pokemon snap. The whole game ruined a good idea, I myself would like to see other companies make a nature safari game using the same gaming engine. But the game is not only short and brief, it's incredibly pointless.
    Other companies? African Safari game? Oh well, why don't YOU yourself make a pointFUL African Safari Game yourself?
    Show me what you got!
    ------------------------------------------------
    The game itself is very cheap, even for a game boy game. The graphics,animation and sound are all very uninspiried.
    Cheap? Don't you notice that Pokemon games are one of the most expensive ones amongst Gameboy games?
    Uninspired? Why don't you get to draw your own?
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Their is no plot besides a weak plot to beat your rival
    Better than those online games! (e.g. Hungry Snake, Volley Ball, Wack A Staff)
    -------------------------------------------------------
    This magazine is really rubbish! I mean, how many spelling mistakes it has?
    Besides, most of the facts are indeed wrong.

    No no no no no...
    People can have their own choices. People have the freedom to choose what they like or not.

    But hurting other people is not nice! (That's what they did! =.=)

    Although I claim that it is a loss for young children not to start playing Pokemon when they were young, because they will find themselves struggling with Biology and Maths when they get older!
    It is also true that keep playing Pokemon can get your biology knowledge keep constant.

    So preytell how is pokemon gonna help with math? Sure it gets down adding and subs...but what you learn that in the first grade. As much as anyone around here i love anime and manga and pokemon but even I have to say it's just a show. It shouldent become some type of lifestyle you dont want to become and otaku over this, trust me noone ever wants to be called a otaku. STill you say people have the right to say what they feel, and that they shouldent push their opions on to other people. BUT your doing the same thing insulting other post ok your being way to hypocritetical for your own good.

  • Because you only play Pokemon in a way that most Pokemon fans do.
    You haven't go into further Pokemon calculations.
    Further Pokemon calculations include:
    1binary
    2.16nary (forgot what its English is)
    3. Rounding off
    4. Square numbers
    5. Square roots
    6. Divide and multiply
    7. and there's MORE!
    Which I'll tell you later

    That Carole Boston Weatheford is racist to Japanese ppl, and doesn't like the fact that Pokemon is more popular than American cartoons.
    So she published a news article saying that Pokemon is racist! =.=
    And tried to ban Pokemon in US, but failed, though she banned one Pokemon from the cartoon.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Some silly ppl think that Pokemon is violent...
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    A lot of B***ish people show repel to Japanese cartoons.
    So do some A*****an ppl.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Many ppl think that Pokemon is evil, because they are monsters/ have "super power"/ looks strange...
    --------------------------------------------------------
    In India, Pokemon is claimed to be the fact of money lost. As the children spent most of their money on Pokemon, so Pokemon is now banned in India.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    In Muslim countries, Pokemon is claimed to be the reason why the children cannot focus when praying.
    So Pokemon is also banned in most Muslim countries.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Oh, what now, Beyblade is occult because they're named after constellations?
    I happen to love constellations, and I have not been possessed by the devil.:cer_giggle::14::fr::mudkip;)::t379::t201-b::t378::P:shocked::t258::t386::t226::t236::t321::t039::t341::t202::t308::t212::t361::t233::t152::t201-o::t201-f::t186::t165::t352::t166::t267::t267::t081::t385::t343::t227::t137::t281::t377:

  • Why does people hate Pokemon?

    Yes, I saw that some people rant about Pokemon, saying that it's stupid, it's for babies, whatever. But to me, all people can enjoy watching and playing Pokemon. I played Pokemon ever since I was 5 and that I still like playing it. And that really, people hate pokemon because it changes too much. It changes every 2-4 years. And that No matter what happens to Pokemon, it's still a good game and good anime to watch. And that every season it improves, but that Pokemon Master Quest and the Hoenn adventures were good, and over and over, the pokemon seem to get better each generation, despite the team running out of ideas making new pokemon.

  • Well if you mean 'Why do people hate Pokemon', then it is probably because they feel it is socially unacceptable to like it and therefore hid it, or because it just isn't the kind of thing they enjoy. I personally dislike Generation V, although I may come round eventually.
