Did you ever hate Pokemon?

I hated pokemon for about half a year, when my friend dropped out of it. then I saw the ads for Pokemon colloseum in my Nintendo Power. I was nearly hooked. then I did a random gookle search, searcing randomly for "Shadow the hedgehog" I flipped through a few pages, "randomly" selected this site, and took a good long look at the pokemon RPGs. I fell in love with 3, and I'm still waiting for somebody else to post in them
 
I never really hated pok?mon. I did go through a phase where I just forgot all about it.

If I were to graph my interest in pok?mon to the time lapsed since I initially got into it, it would go up rapidly, the level off for awhile, then fall dramtically, stay at 0 for awhile, then go up kinda slowly and plateau at the very top the lower a bit to a high-average level...where I'm at now,

Nah, I've never hated Pokemon. =\ I've been a little uninterested, but I've never hated it. I got hooked after watching some kid play PKMN Red and I eventually got that game and a gameboy and... well... never looked back. =P I certainly owe my continued devotion to the fandom to message boards like this one... otherwise I'd probably just forget about it like so many of my friends have. It's a good thing they have me to pester them back in. XD!

Actually, before I knew what Pokemon was, I was in grade 3 and these guys used to draw Pikachu on the same sheet of paper as "Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo" from South Park... so I thought they were from the same show. XDXD;;

Ler's be glad that never happened hehe.....

*ahem* I, uh, watch South Park every so often...not as often as I did in the summer which was every night, lol. You're right about it being terrible in a raunchy and disgusting sense, but some things are pretty funny when they do parodies of shows and celebrities. The Pokemon parody episode was cool to watch. Although, when people just randomly die and blood spatters everywhere and ways that people die that you didn't think was even possible...that's where it gets terrible, Jordan...>_< Blech!

Anyway! Did I ever hate Pokemon? When it first came out, I didn't think very highly of it and I thought I'd never get caught in the craze. First of all, I didn't even know it had a TV show to go along with it. I just thought it was the trading cards because that's all my cousin collected and put in his laminated binder--they used to ask me questions and I had no idea what the heck it was about. I remember sitting in a restaurant with my cousins and my aunt, uncle, and grandmother and my cousin was sorting through his cards and I saw a Dugtrio (didn't know the Pokemon was called at the time but obviously now I know) card...I told him, "They look like little chicks to me..." and they all started laughing, lol. Then his sister said to me, "No! They're moles, except they're Pokemon moles called Dugtrio!" Yeeeah, I was kind of embarrassed...^_^; So one day I came home from school in 1999, a year after Pokemon came out in the U.S., and I was flipping around the channels and I came across the "Make Room For Gloom" episode because I saw this girl with purple hair, which was Florinda in that ep. I decided to watch it because there wasn't anything else on and I used to watch Monster Rancher at the time--it looked similar to the animation of it, lol. I never knew it was even Japanese animation until later...heh. Eventually, I watched Pokemon more and more each day because I found it funny, cute, and entertaining. I didn't memorize the human characters' names until maybe a few days to a week after I began watching it...^_^; Eh, look at me now! I see I still write mile-long essays, though...*sigh*
 
*sigh* I used to remember when I was in 2nd grade, me and my
friends would think Charizard's the best pokemon. :P
Hey, I was ignorant at that time. XD
 
I never hated Pokemon. I remember in grade 2, everyone thought the same thing PM10000, everyone loved Charizard! Well the boys at least.....

I thought that Gyrados was the most powerful. Well, the cards made it look the most powerful.

Yes but in the TCG Charizard had fire spin that does 100 damage.
And it looks cool and strong.
That's why people think Charizard was the stongest.
 
I have never hated Pokemon, or ever tought it was dumb.
I started liking it since it started, and I even started to get obssesed with it when I got the game, and the cards.
But now, I'm not as obssesed as before. :knockedou

I don't think it's worth it though. They swear like sailors for one! And it's always seems so disgusting.......
not my type of show!

That was the first episode you saw? That's already a good way into the series! I hated when they showed those new ones on weekdays. I had to rush home everyday to watch them! I watched Pocket Rancher one, and it's......uh.......a little stange hehe..
I had no idea that pokemon was an anime either. (in fact, I don't think I knew what an anime was) My friends didn't have cable, so it was the only cartoon that they were able to watch that wasn't anything like Arthur or something. *shudders*
I remember that the first one I watched was "Charmander! The stray pokemon!". It was already about halfway into the show, but I was still really interested. For my first impression, I was really confused, because I didn't know a thing about what pokemon were, I didn't know they battled, and I thought it was strange they stayed in little red and white balls.
Funny hehe....

My first episode was when Ash caught Bulbasaur.
Then the second was when Ash caught Charmander
and the third was when Ash caught Squirtle.
When I saw it on tape first.
I was sort of dazed at pokeballs also.
I thought they were some kind of storage for jewleries or something. :P
 
The first one I ever saw was the first one... n_n; Well, I never really hated pokemon, but I did have a past where I got bored with it. o_o' After that, I played Silver, and I got interested in it again. ^_^
 
The part where I got bored of it was the year after g/s version came out.
At that time, there wasn't any new episodes nor games.
 
I don't remember what my first episode was. I want to say "The Problem with Paras" but I' not really sure! That one seems kinda far in though. My cousins get me hooked on these things. They had the cards and then they got the GBC games too. So my first video game was yellow. (BTW Jordan, my sister used to call yellow 'lellow' too!) I don't remember when I started watching the show tough. I remember rushing home from school so I could see a new episode though. I also remember bringing my binder of TCG cards to school with me to trade... even though I didn't really like trading my cards away! But then they got banned from school! That was one of the things that made people stop liking it as much I think. Not being able to bring it to school. Maybe. But now that binder is way to heavy and overflowing to bring anywhere!

Yeah, about a year after G/S came out I started not liking pok?mon anymore. The Johto series started boring me and I lost all interest in it. But then last year I pretty randomly got back into it! It was really weird though!
 
My first episode was Hypno's Naptime, and back then I hated pokemon...it creeped me out, especially Drowzee...I used to insult it everywhere I went at school (I was in the fifth grade back then when it was still on at 6AM) But over the summer of 1999, I began to watch the reruns when they began to air them on Kids WB (when the cartoons were on sunday instead of saturday...boy that feels like so long ago :P ) I got hooked on the anime and shortly after, hooked on the TCG, and now I'm a maniac :P But right after I became a fan, boy did I get persecuted at school by the haters...I even got so mad once over pokemon I went at a kid with a hockey stick in gym o_o But yes, I did hate pokemon when I first saw it.
 
No i dont think I ever hated pokemon.
 
*looks at post above*

I find a female named Cosmo and a male named Wanda to be rather amusing... I like the show Cosmo...

Anyway, I never had a dislike for Pokemon. When I first saw the pics in Nintendo Power I thought it looked annoying though. I am spiteful to the anime and a few fans though, heh.
 
Heh, the fist episode I saw was the one with the exsecutor and that magician guy and...yeah...I think I was about 7. I lived in Kodiak (like anyone cares about that XD) and I was flipping thrugh the channels, and I saw three different colored creatures in a box (It was the part where Ash had Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in that box, and was acting like he was doing a magic trick), and the only anime I had seen before pokemon was Speed Racer, and I noticed Ash's eyes, and I thought, 'This must be from the same people that made Speed Racer.' and then I changed the channel because I didn't want my mom to ask what I was watching ^_^;; Then, after I moved to Washington (same year) I entered 2nd grade, and had forgotten all about pokemon. Then, when I was in 3rd grade, kids kept bringing cards and plushies and magazines of pokemon to school. My first favorite was Mew ^_^ I was highly unpopular that year... *imagines how she got chased and beat up all the time* Those were the days... XD I gained a teeny bit of respect when I started wearing pokemon shirts and bringing cards to school...I traded a hitmonlee for a kabutops card with some kid, and he said, 'Hey, everybody! Lindsey's got pokemon!' And people started coming over to look at my card and stuff. And later, I started handing out little pokemon images I made on the computer to people and stuff XD I was also known as being the only kid in the class who could draw jigglypuff XD About a year later, I saw the episode I had seen when I was seven. I had no idea that pokemon had exsisted waaaay back in 1998! I was kind of excited. And yeah folks, that's the story of how I came to like pokemon so much. Meep, and good night. (actually it's morning, but whatever....)
