Pokemon that try too hard to be other pokemon (Dedenne to raichu, luxray to arcanine, etc.)

People who hate cute pokemon for being cute

People who hate other pokemon for not being cute

People who whine about pokemon being overpowered when they have easily exploitable weaknesses (See any dragon types pre-gen 6, and maybe even after that)

People who hate pokemon just for being shown in the anime. Charizard, pikachu, things like that. Especially if they call theem "overrated", proving they don't know what the word means.

People who insist you can't have a gen 1 pokemon as a favorite without being a "genwunner"

People who ask for obscenely rare pokemon on the GTS

The lack of type diversity in legendaries (There are 2 good fighting types, no poison types, one decent bug type, way too many psychic types.)

The lack of diversity in competitive pokemon battles

People who cheat for shinies or legendaries. Or both

The memes

My biggest one would have to be...

Starters: GRASS WATER FIRE

Every last game, most of the fan games, even the hacks!

Why? Why not ever offer me something else? There are other triads. Or you could offer more then 3 choices. I wouldn't mind. I just want something different.

This reminds me of one of mine; early game starter balance. Fire and grass can each help you catch more pokemon, making team creating and nuzlockes much easier. Fire has a chance to burn, grass can poison or paralyze, water... can't do anything.

I don't use many water starters, but it's still unfair.

The main Pokémon anime quite a lot of the time is my biggest pet peeve. It completely ignores plot, story and even mythology elements from the games despite how increasingly prominent they've become. Some of the movies are great are actually follow those things from the games but they don't tie it to the series. I don't get it. The Sinnoh movies were fantastic, really felt like they drew up on the interesting mythos from the games. With both Black and White and their sequels you'd have thought there'd be some big epic story about fighting Pokémon liberation but it was cut completely. Even N, who was a very intriguing and made others question the morality of owning Pokémon, was watered down. That strange scientist who worked for Team Plasma went from being neither good nor evil, just interested in the science of Pokémon, to generic evil.

Seeing as Pokémon X and Y have the whole dramatic thing about the ancient Kalos weapon powered by dead Pokémon, destroying humanity and all that, I hope they don't turn Lysandre into evil-for-the-sake-of-evil and scrap the dark nature behind the Kalos war.

Now for my pet peeves in Pokemon:
My biggest one would have to be those that spam certain moves like Double Team, Protect, and Detect.
Basically this right here. i hate when trainers do this in the games. It's so frustrating for me. Just yesterday I was battling a pokemon that kept using sand attack on me. It was a trainer pokemon, and I couldn't hit the damn pokemon worth ****! It made so frustrated because I wanted to get the battle over with. DX

You brought up several other points I agree with, but these. Yes.

Remember! Liking cute things isn't childish, but bashing cute things solely because they're cute... kind of is.
