What would be good signs that people play/watch/see too much Pokemon? This is yet another TSR-inspired topic that I just thought of. If you think of anything, feel free to post it here.

I'll start off with a small list:

You know you're too much of a PokeManiac when:

1: The loss of your Pokemon Cartridges would be considered a major financial blow.

2: You still have the original Red and Blue Versions (that let you start a new data with all of your current Pokemon and items), despite the Coke stains on the instruction booklets.

3: You've made up the entire Pikachu Language, words, letters, and numbers, and you carry on entire conversations in fluent Pikachu, while people simply shake their heads on the street and pass by.

4: You constantly have arguments with your friends regarding what would result if two different species of Pokemon were to mate.

5: You'd give up a winning lottery ticket just to score a critical hit against another Pokemon. And speaking of which:

6: Your big dreams of what you'd do if you won ten million dollars involve turning the living room of your house into a set for a Pokemon Center, turning your backyard into a grass-themed Gym, turning the bedrooms into Pokemon-themed rooms with yours matching Red's from the origional Game Boy game, and hiring actors to dress up as Trainers and getting a scientist to mutate a Pikachu out of your cat, so you can play Pokemon for real. (and parents think kids nowadays can't get a grip on reality...)
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you will never get it done.

7: You have emotionally attached to your Pokmon in your games.
8: You have obbessions or even fall in love with the trainers in the game/anime/manga/etc
9: You try to make your own Pokmon game.
10: You're PRETTY sure Pokmon exist. XD

15. You dream that you'll get into an accident that will cause the Real world and Pokemon world to merge into one world and dream of conquering it.

16. You practically drown yourself in the ocean trying to find Lugia.
17. You went to Burger king every day in an effort to collect all of those gold trading cards and toys back around teh tiem of the first movie.
18. ...You did it again with the second BK promotion for Pokemon the Movie 2000.
19. You actually spent $200+ dollars for a Charizard 1st edition card.
20. You own EVERY pokemon game, whether you have the system to play it on or not.
21. You run away from home at the age of 10 on your own "pokemon journey".
22. ... the story of your run away makes national television.

When you lie in bed thinking about how to defeat the elite four >_>
It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away

And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark

Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

360? I thought there were only three hundred and eighty-something?

23: You compare the cloning experiments that go on nowadays to the one that gave birth to MewTwo.

24: You can't go 5 minutes without telling a 'there I was battling another Pokemon Trainer...' story.

25: You constantly wonder if the cast of Stargate: SG1 has ever been to the Pokemon world.

26: You make up entire charts of hit probabilities, type-associations, and attack effects in an effort to maximize your chance of winning any Pokemon battle.

27: You go into solitary confinement out of shame every time someone proves you wrong about something in Pokemon, regardless of how trivial it is.

These are basically taken from the most obsessive things I've done XD

28.You wish the trainers who call you in G/S/C/E would actually talk to you instead of rambling about how they were SO CLOSE to catching that Weedle.

29. You own a limited edition pokemon game boy.

30. You write an essay in school about pokemon.

31. You doodle pokemon in the margins of your school papers.

32. You bring little water pokemon figurines to the public swimming pool to use as "diving rings".

These are some I'm guilty of
40 You're working on getting every episode of Pokemon taped even though you have some boxsets of the seasons
41 You watch pointless fillers and boring episodes all over again just because girl of the day is hot.
42 Your set up at the big screeen TV in the dark TV room in the basement is a butterfly chair next to a glass of iced tea, some cookies, the cable control and the headphones so you can listen to the Pokemon openings extra loud and sing them, ignoring the eyerolls of your nearby family members.
43 You say good night and kiss the pictures of your obsession.
44 You do detailed sketches of you and your obsession whenever you lose the computer with your galleries and you've already cut your fingers up with the scissors out of frustration of the misunderstanding world.
45 You feel guilty when eating a delicious meal or listening to a good song when you're not around pictures of your obsession because you feel bad she/he's missing the fun.
Sadly, I'm guilty of all that I posted.

You Worship Pokemon figurines in your own private shrine

You're favorite colors are Fire Red and Leaf Green.

You believe that one day, scientists will really create pokemon and want to be alive to witness it.

49: You've actually defeated the Elite Four 50,000,000 times, thinking that the trick actually works.

50: You've made out the entire Grand List of Pokemon Cliches and point out ones you see in every day life, despite the funny looks you get from others around you.

52. When you dye your pet rat yellow and put Pikachu designs on it, and attach to a wire to make sparks fly out of it (that's just cruel >_<)

55: You have developed an entire religion based on the Pokemon Anime and have weekly sermons to discuss the 'scripture' of Saturday's Episode. "And Ash did say the word, and Pikachu hurled his mighty Thunderbolt at Team Rocket, and the people rejoiced. The word of Pokemon: Pika Pikachu..."

56: As a Net Nerd, and all-around God of Knowledge, you actually know more about Pokemon than you do about Lord of the Rings and Star Trek.

57: You would rally other Pokemon fans to revolution if you found out that they were going to take Pokemon off the shelves, even if it was just to make way for the next Pokemon game.

58: An announcement of a new Pokemon game is way more important news than even the results of the Presidential Election.

11. You know all 360 Pokemon and you can say them in order
60. You actually know how many Pokmon there are, and you know that the number is not 360 XD

61. When you want to contact Nintendo for permission to host your own Pokmon convention. (Yes, I want to do this... I would do it if I had the money.)


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell
