Do You Like Youngster Joey?
 
Rattata Kid.


I Don't Like Him.Maybe Cause I Don't Like Rattata...

xJordan360 April 18th, 2010 10:53 PM

I love him! His personality is so lovely.
My friends and I "Joey-call" each other all the time.

Joey-call= Call a friend, praise a terrible pokemon or beginning-evolutionary pokemon, don't allow them to talk during the whole conversation, then hang up. :3

Ahaha, awesome xD

I must admit I have no strong feelings one way or the other towards Trainer Joey.

.Kaiser April 19th, 2010 9:06 AM

Love him.
Why?
Cause I never register him xD

Sydian April 19th, 2010 12:43 PM

Since I don't recall him being a pain in the butt in GSC, I assume you're talking about HGSS where he always calls, so this can go there.

Åzurε April 19th, 2010 12:58 PM

Ahh, Joey. So innocent, so naive. Always making phone calls. He's got a hold on something he doesn't yet comprehend. That little purple ball of fur he loves so dearly will soon lead him to glory. Glory!

Timbjerr April 19th, 2010 1:02 PM

In the 21 hours of gameplay over the one weekend since I got My HeartGold version, Joey has called me no less than ten times to remind me that his rattata is in the top percentage of rattata. Makes me want to rematch him solely to OHKO the stupid furball with my crobat. XD

MegaSlowBro. April 19th, 2010 1:02 PM

I've never really disliked Joey, but I've never taken a liking to him either =P So, he'll probably just float around in the middle of liking or disliking him....

Kon~ April 19th, 2010 1:03 PM

Joey - the poor man's Lance.

Or something like that.

Anyway, his Rattata is awesome! As Bulbapedia (and Azure's sig) states, it really is a "Top Percentage" Rattata.

And I will admit to Joey-calling someone. I called my friend and said, "Hey, (friend)! Have you heard about my Bidoof? We battled against a Pidgey earlier and it nearly won! I used a potion at the wrong time and we lost, though. Oh well, I'll try again later. Bye, (friend)!"

TechnoSparkX April 19th, 2010 1:04 PM

he gets annoying but still re-battleing

Aero Blitz April 19th, 2010 1:05 PM

No, Joey is annoying as anything.

.Gamer April 19th, 2010 1:08 PM

His Ratatta is in the top percentage of Ratatta, its kinda hard to argue with him.

Guybrush Threepwood April 19th, 2010 1:28 PM

Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Tyros April 19th, 2010 2:34 PM

I think he's pretty awesome.

Why?

Well, he's getting behind his Pokemon with all his might, even if the odds are against him. I can respect that.

But mainly because, on Monday from 10 am to 8 pm, I can rematch him over and over and over and he'll give me a HP Up each and every time.

- Tyros

lobwein April 19th, 2010 2:40 PM

isnt joey the first trainer you battle not including your rivel. if he is yes i dont like him either.

SkyShaymin98 April 19th, 2010 2:42 PM

He's a strange character all right....

luf100 April 19th, 2010 2:48 PM

I just got my HeartGold today and already Joey had called me, telling me his Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata. I don't know if I like him or hate him yet since he hasn't bothered me a ton yet. :P

Andrew McKenzie April 19th, 2010 2:52 PM

Joey and me are tight man.
He calls me every 2 minutes.
Sure, he just repeats himself all the time but it's not as bad as Lyra's eyesight.
She keeps telling me her Marrill evolved, when it clearly didn;t.

Lyra should've gone to Specsavers. (Not many people will get this joke)

Sir April 19th, 2010 2:53 PM

I hate Joey. In any game. I wish he and his rattatta would go somewhere, preferably hell.

Arcelio April 19th, 2010 3:35 PM

His Ratatta is over just 2%. It doesn't make me want to kill Joey any less. They should have added a filter in this game, for Joey alone. It basically filters out the useless crap (everything).

Panfisha April 19th, 2010 3:37 PM

My 2nd time playing HG, I refused his offer to add him. I don't need random calls about how bad his ratata is.

Silver April 19th, 2010 4:24 PM

He calls waaayy to often. I've stopped answering his calls. =/

Manga April 19th, 2010 4:38 PM

I HATE getting his phone calls.


Always bragging about his Rattata.



GET A LIFE!



lol.



And he's in EVERY single game~

-Jake April 19th, 2010 4:51 PM

I hate Joey.
and Rattata
>.<

institutions April 19th, 2010 4:55 PM

I love that kid in a completely heterosexual way.
He's inspired me to breed a rattata that is better than his, and then kill his with it.

LOL

I should do that. In between beating him with Furret.

ÇyänïdëÉX April 19th, 2010 5:35 PM

Though his calls are a bit out there i don't mind him because it kinda reminds me of the innocence some trainers and people show at the beginning of their journeys or well in general.

# 494 April 19th, 2010 5:58 PM

This is how a battle between his Rattata and my Snorlax should go.

"Snorlax! Use rest!" Snorlax falls over and crushes the rattata, while restoring his HP at the same time.

I hate Joey.

loliwin April 19th, 2010 6:17 PM

Joey is probably one of the best trainers in Johto. I mean a near pefect IV'ed Rattata? Thats insane! And I also registered him. xD

EmeraldSerenade April 19th, 2010 6:20 PM

Joey is so annoying, it must be my charm that gives him the urge to call me repeatedly ;P

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN RATTATA.

Xine April 19th, 2010 6:42 PM

oh ! Joey and i were soul mate, y'know

we're gonna call each other and brag about our "top percentage" Rattata every day ~

RivalGator April 19th, 2010 6:47 PM

I don't hate him. He's just Joey. He is proud of his Ratatta like I am my Manyula. So what?

patrick_20052005 April 19th, 2010 7:16 PM

yes, great trainer. very first trainer to be registered on my phone.

Mayfan24 April 19th, 2010 8:54 PM

lately i have found juggler irwin's (i think that's who it is) more annoying than you are making joey's out to be. He calls, says one line about something, then hangs up! It's bugging me.

Ho-Oh April 19th, 2010 9:39 PM

I don't think he's called me. If so, probably only twice? And my playtime is something around 70 hours I'm guessing. XD;

Joey doesn't annoy me.

Munch Dog April 19th, 2010 10:02 PM

Joey is the best trainer ever what are you talking about? If you want to talk about annoying, as someone already said, talk about Irwin, or Brent with his absolutely useless Bill facts that no one cares about.

xJordan360 April 19th, 2010 10:27 PM

I like the Oak calls better. "Hello, it's Prof. Oak! Are you working on your pokedex? ...click!"

Sir Skids Nickelton April 20th, 2010 1:02 AM

Well,I Do Like HIM,Just Not His Rattata (All Rattata I Don't Like,I Never Liked Their Strong Annoyance,Worse Than CLEFABLE!!)

TrilbyMenetti April 20th, 2010 3:50 AM

Youngster Joey is hilarious in an unintentional kind of way, so I do kind of like him. My favourite NPC, along with the youngster from R/B/Y and FR/LG who says "I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear."

Moltres111 April 20th, 2010 4:37 AM

No. (But it may have helped NOT accepting his phone number.. that was probably a smart idea on my part.)

It was boring murdering his Rattata that one time with my Cyndaquil. xD

Muffin™ April 20th, 2010 4:38 AM

Yes, I love Joey. I hope he calls today... he hasn't called me in weeks. Also, did you know Joey's Ratatta has an

I don't hate Joey, he almost never calls me. Every 10 hours I play there's like one Joey call.. ^-^

Åzurε April 20th, 2010 9:35 AM

Somebody made an in-character blog for Joey. It's right here. I lol'd.

Benjamin510 April 20th, 2010 10:04 AM

HE IS THE GOD OF IVS. Nuff Said.

The Doctor April 20th, 2010 10:05 AM

I have found the solution to his annoying calls.
Whenever i rebattled him he would always call me loads of times.

Then he called me saying that he wanst to battle again. HE HAS NEVER EVER CALLED SINCE THEN! Yayz..

Eeohnex April 20th, 2010 10:08 AM

He needs to get a g/f or something, I just don't answer his calls anymore.

Clefairies April 20th, 2010 1:06 PM

Joey makes me LOL.
Joey is so deluded that I think he thinks one day he will be calling to tell me he is the new champion of Johto & it's all thanks to that pokemon of his.
I think I am going to try force him to trade me it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xxChazxx April 20th, 2010 1:14 PM

No, I wish I could delete his number.

Kavii April 20th, 2010 1:23 PM

I wish the game designers had given the Joey AI a more varied dialogue selection as that would have lessened my irritation with him. I don't mind constant phone calls, but I mind that he only ever says ONE thing every single call.

UGH.

MrGhost April 20th, 2010 4:42 PM

Youngster Joey's Rattata is LIKE NO OTHER.
What's not to love?
Oh yeah. The constant annoying phone calls.

MasterLink742 April 20th, 2010 5:19 PM

I'm neutral right now
Sometimes, I'm not bothered by his calls
other times, I want to kill him

BHwolfgang April 20th, 2010 7:43 PM

If it weren't for his abundance of HP Up's, I would've never registered him in the first place.

FlameBlazeFury April 20th, 2010 9:19 PM

Didnt even register him cause i know he was already annoying lol so i have to say yes since he cant call me anyways.

Reginaldvonburger April 21st, 2010 12:50 AM

Joey isn't bad for me.

It's my mother that annoys me in game. EVERYTIME I end a battle, walk into a town or I exit my pokédex she calls. I don't need anymore Berries. I DON'T EVEN USE THEM!

Ahaha so true. Every time I go into a Pokemart, I have to talk to the steward guy like 40 times just to collect all the crap she's emptied my bank account with...

⋚Raika⋚ April 21st, 2010 3:20 AM

Hell yeah I like him.
I am he after all.

BlueScizor April 21st, 2010 8:27 AM

I hate joey!

OMG "I almost caught a rattata!"

Well OMG I just beat Mt. Silver but your close encounter with the rat type is way more important!

Yep pretty much on the same boat, sometimes I really don't care and other times I really want to just annihilate him and his rattata. Bring him back as a gym leader in Black and White!

Joey.

But his Rattata is like, in the top percentage of Rattata. All he want's to do is tell the world.

Uruk April 21st, 2010 12:58 PM

he's the most annoying guy in HG/SS. finito.

rocketknight93 April 21st, 2010 1:21 PM

I added his phone number and I really regret it now D:. If he gets 1 more pokemon than a rattatta i might actually re-battle him :p.

lamby101 April 21st, 2010 3:14 PM

Youngster Joey is annoying, as is every other trainer that doesn't have a good reason to call, the only time I consider it a good reason, is if they want to battle.

UncheckedSanity April 21st, 2010 3:50 PM

I like him, actually. xD
Annoying characters always get to me(on my good side, that is). :> Even when they repeat the same over 50 times a day.

Yosoysauce April 21st, 2010 6:22 PM

Joey = Pokemon's most successful troll B)

Relith April 21st, 2010 6:29 PM

"Oh hey Don! Long time no see, did you know that my Rattata is in the top percentage of all other Rattata?" Then five minutes later, "Hey Don..my Rattata just lost to a Pidgey. Oh well."

I doesn't care about your Rattata that just lost to a damn pidgey, JOE!! :)

FinalMaster April 22nd, 2010 1:33 AM

Yosoysauce, I have just come up with a better troll.




Let Petrel rematch.
SO MANY KOOOOOOOOOFFINGS!
*Ahem*. No, I don't hate Joey.

denpaform April 22nd, 2010 5:49 AM

Joey... I "like" him so much that I want to destroy him and his stupid rattata...

sheesh...

empty streets April 22nd, 2010 12:31 PM

NO. I don't like Ratticates -_- And little boys in shorts.

EJ April 22nd, 2010 12:40 PM

The youngster that, oh how rude of me, the shorts boy is more annoying.

Joey's kinda funny at how he fails.

vobgro April 22nd, 2010 4:13 PM

Dear Joey,

Please come to my slowpoke well for some pleasant suprise.

Your best friend, Pedopoke

M O M U S U April 22nd, 2010 5:38 PM

I think he's sexy.
In a no-homo, non-pedo sort of way.

iDuL April 22nd, 2010 5:40 PM

Youngster Joey sent out Rattata!

Saladfork April 22nd, 2010 9:00 PM

At least he doesn't use a bidoof.

ichuesther April 28th, 2010 8:19 PM

Yes, I love how he calls every time i take a step. -_-
*sarcasm?*

NickofTime April 28th, 2010 9:11 PM

Though joey's rattata is in the top percentage of rattatas joey however lieks mudkipz and we all know what that means
seriously i dont so if someone could tell me that would be awesome
He obviously doesn't know i have a do not call list, which is just him and sudawoodo

Skip Class April 28th, 2010 10:27 PM

I only like him cause he's the only one I could actually remember from crystal. The rest of their names - I can't remember

Sardonix April 28th, 2010 10:53 PM

Hmm, Joey... I don't like him. He calls too much and it's always about absolutely nothing. I don't care about your Rattata, man. I really don't. I shouldn't have given him my number. I regret it and I don't regret a whole log. :/

Kikaito plush April 29th, 2010 8:44 AM

He's easy to beat snd get EXP for my pokemon! so yeah he's okay

Eric. April 29th, 2010 4:42 PM

Joey isn't that annoying. Irwin is the worst since he never mentions anything except my actions are moving.

Meowth! That's right! April 29th, 2010 11:44 PM

Gee I wish my Ratatta was in the top percentage of Ratatta.

RYOUKI April 29th, 2010 11:47 PM

Yes, I do. As I have no reason to hate him. Believe it or not, I never once had a call from him, and I added him/

khornan April 30th, 2010 1:52 AM

HATE THAT LITTLE RAT AND HIS RATTATA

AimayBee April 30th, 2010 1:57 AM

Due to this thread, I have started work on a hack based around Joey and i mean completely based around him and his Rattata!
There will be endless phon calls from him and his rattata and he will be everywhere and he will only be able to talk about his Rattata!
I love Joey, i really do think someoe should make his teenage version, like pkmn trainer Red, his Rattata never evolves and he has some awesome uber Pokemon later on.

Yeah Irwin really is a huge ******, he gives me those supershort, not interesting phonecalls.

560cool. April 30th, 2010 12:10 PM

Screw_him .
Even when he gets a Raticate in the rematch, he still calls Ratatta ... is he drunk or dreaming, or he is simpley making fun of me ?
He should die in hell ... release his Ratatta/Raticate/whatever to have a peaceful death ...

Kon~ April 30th, 2010 12:30 PM

He called me once and told me he was working on strategies for Rattata.
Then he called me again asking for a rematch.
On the way there, I picked up a Rattata. I trained it as I travelled. I used it against Joey.

I won. Joey sucks.

Pokemon1222 April 30th, 2010 12:44 PM

Not really, he calls every minute i'm catching wild pokemon and says: OOH MAH RATTATA IS TOP PERCENTAGE OF RATTATA even though he evolved it into raticate.

Yusshin April 30th, 2010 1:45 PM

Nobody likes Joey lol

Silly question :P

I think Joey is a pretty cool guy, I mean come on, his Rattata is in the top friggin percentage!

リュザキ April 30th, 2010 5:11 PM

Joey: Hey how's it going!?
Me: Oh Im....
Joey: Yeah, my Rattata and I almost took down a Pidgy today. My Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata. Ok by...
Me: NO! NO MORE! I JUST BEAT WHITNEY WITH A GEODUDE! ONE GEODUDE! I THEN WORKED MY ASS OFF FOR A DRATINI, WHICH COULD ONE HIT YOUR RATTATA WITH TACKLE!

thegeneticway April 30th, 2010 5:14 PM

I mean I would brag about my pokemon !

On the contrary, I love Joey. He's my favorite, I mean his Ratatta even givs my Typhlosion a run for his money!

Akari April 30th, 2010 5:28 PM

There are people who don't love him and his god-like Rattata?

Skystrike April 30th, 2010 6:14 PM

I love him and his rattata (no homo XD). Its god like, alright, with adamant nature and high IV's,

Nincada April 30th, 2010 7:14 PM

Joey goes around polling people about their rattatas and then sets up detailed charts mapping their stats compared to his own before adjusting his training regime accordingly.

GlitchCity May 1st, 2010 3:33 AM

Yes, mainly because he is a good battle partner in the beginning of the game.

Agent Clank June 9th, 2010 8:17 PM

He is ok.
I wouldnt say I dislike him.
he has a good attitude about Training his Rattata,which people with Good training attitudes are Always cool.

MrsNorrington June 9th, 2010 9:14 PM

His phone calls get so annoying after a while, but it is nice to have him as a buddy. He loves rats <3 Just like me

Corruptodile June 10th, 2010 12:35 PM

No, no, no. He calls waaaaay too often.
