Infatuation. I always have the worst luck with that, and it manages to always get me because it's mostly used by female Pokémon in-game from NPC trainers, and like I said in another thread, I almost always have only male Pokémon on my team. 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. At least with the others there are healing items.

For me it's Confusion, I seem to always get tails in the perpetual coin toss of hit-and-miss. Oddly, Infatuation doesn't bother me, I usually hit my mark even when ailed with that. *Knocks on wood*

As a very offensive-minded player, I hate paralysis; it hinders my chances of sweeping a team by cutting Speed and possibly preventing an attack. Sleep does come in close for a similar reason, though and confusion is more annoying than dangerous IMO.

Omg definitely infatuation :/ They use attract, and the spam double team D: , also Paralyze is annoying too, as it cuts that speed I EV trained ever so long for.
Hehe, I hope I didn't battle you because that's excactly what I do on B/W wifi single battles. Although for some reason it's all based on luck if you hit. I once maxed out evasiveness on my female Glaceon, under hail, with a brightpowder on hold and with an attracted male Typhlosion, and it still hit me with a fire blast.

Anyhow, I really dislike the frozen ailment. Once your pokemon is frozen by an Ice beam or Blizzard it's all over, but again, if you're lucky you unfreeze in the turn after you're frozen.

I'm going to say confusion! Because my pokemon's attacks work less than 60% of the time everytime!(Anchorman reference :3) But seriously there's nothing more infuriating than watching your pokemon hurt itself when your opponent only needs one more hit to die :<

Let's act this out.
Jigglypuff used Sing!
Mango fell asleep!
Lunaria used Shout loudly!
Nothing happened.
"COME ON, GET THE FLUFFING FUDGE UP, MANGO!!!!"
Nothing happened.

You see, no matter how much you scream at your 3DS, they won't wake up until they feel like it.
I have pretty much done.... nothing. Nothing productive all day.

I hate confusion, it just drags especially I'm the one confused or so it seems to be the case 90% of the time. I don't have a problem with Infatuation or Freeze considering it rarely happens but Burn and Paralyse can be a pain effecting stats and whatnot.

Paralysis. I hate that condition. Slowed speeds, since my Pokémon mainly rely on speed, is a recipe for disaster. Plus, the "unable to move" part is even more annoying. It renders my Pokémon as useful as a bag of soap.

Sleep, easy.
Frost, easy.
Burns, easy.
Poison, easy.
Infatuation, easy.
Confusion, easy.
Paralysis....
Argh!

Ugh, I hate like all status ailments so much, so it's hard to choose between them. Freeze is probably the one I hate the least, since I always seem to break out of it right away, and it's not one I see that often. Infatuation never really bugged me either, because usually I'm still able to attack like 80% of the time.

I'd say i hate Poison, Confusion and Sleep equally, because they're all just so goddang annoying. Poison not only affects you each turn in-battle, but slowly drains the life away from your Pokémon outside of battle if they aren't healed, and I usually never heal them.

I never seem to be able to hit when confused, and one time I didn't hit once with one of my Pokémon because of the stupid confusion, and it's especially annoying in battles that are already tough. Getting confused with Swagger though never appears to be a problem, and I'm usually able to hit, which helped me a lot while beating the Pokémon league in Sapphire no too long ago xD

I just genuinely hate Sleep. It comes at the worst times, and except for the first generation where you had the PokéFlute, I just never have anything to help me against it with me, so I'm usually stuck trying to wake up my Pokémon throughout the whole battle against Pokémon with one of those moves.

Playing through the game, I hate all status ailments equally. When it comes to battling online, though, Paralysis emerges as my least favorite one because it's a double whammy - it cuts speed and limits your opportunities for attack. And since at least half my team typically relies on speed, that's obviously a big hindrance to me.

Infatuation and Sleep are both equally for me the worst when happen to my own team. Once in a while most of my Pokemon are male (I just catch the first one that comes out - and I haven't caught yet, I don't care much for gender)

Sleep, I really never carry enough (or any at all) awakening potions, when opponent use sing I really really hope the attack misses, otherwise my Pokemon won't be able to battle 3-4 turns.

The one I worry the least about is Paralyz, Persian has Limber Limb so can't be paralyzed. Its always the first in my teams.

Probably poison, because it lasts outside of battle and forces me to invest in antidotes (or a cleric). My absolute least favorite part of Pokemon statuses is evasion maneuvers and debuffs though (like Emolga...*eye twitch*).

That is DEFINITELY Paralysis. After that probably comes Confusion and Infatuation.

Paralysis is just so infuriating, because you can't do anything and it's so uncertain, you don't know when you'll be able to attack or not, and not being able to attack 5 times in a row while there IS the chance that you could attack is worse than getting constant damage but attacking, or being disabled completely like with Sleep or Freeze because at least you know what's up.

Confusion because you get damage yourself when it fails, and Infatuation pretty much for the same reason as Paralysis, but less worse because it wears off when you switch out.

It used to be Poison, especially when it used to take effect outside of battle. More recently though I found myself frustrated with confusion, as before I seemed to have pretty good luck with it, but now 3 out of 4 times my Pokemon seems to hurt itself in it's confusion.

I hate all of them, but especially Paralysis, Sleep and Infatuation.

Paralysis makes me dread battles with Pokemon that have Static cos I hate getting my Speed cut and having that chance of not being able to attack (forget about the Speed drop if you have a Pokemon with Quick Feet).

Sleep is my most hated cos I hate being unable to attack while the opponent just pummels me. That's why I often try to use healing items or run back to a healing spot. Especially with all those Audino using Secret Power, which can put any Pokemon that I'm training to sleep and man it makes me mad cos it almost ALWAYS HAPPENS!

Infatuation, especially in B/W due to most wild Audino carrying Attract, meaning that if I'm training something of the opposite gender I have to be careful cos when Attract hits, I get stunned into only attacking 50% of the time and I always often fall to it. It also forces me to switch to a Pokemon that is of the same gender or with the Oblivious ability just to prevent it. Audino made me hate infatuation even more!
