Top 10 Worst Things About Pokemon

People need to quit whining about this. Pokemon is a children's anime. At least in XY, we had Alain as a more mature side character in the specials. He's even shown up in the main series as a nice contrast with Ash. I look forward to seeing them go up against each other in the Team Flare arc.

Ash is what ruined Pokemon for me and is why I don't like it now! New protagonist, please! He gets very boring. Maybe if he got older, he would go away and we'd get a new main character. But he won't. Stupid Ash.

Neither do Bart Simpson or SpongeBob SquarePants. Ash is a timeless character, designed to appeal to children because he is one. Why change him and make him older when the target audience is kids?

Yet in the X & Y series, is it just me, or does he look older? He has teeth, he's taller... I don't know, just a thought.

Their voices don't fit the ages of the characters, their acting is consistently monotone and flat, and they generally have egos large enough that gravity can't bring them down.

They suck so much I can't even fathom it. Do they actually think this is a realistic voice? Nobody would talk like these whiny 5-year-olds in real life.

Horrible for 7+ years and counting: ruined Ash, Brock, TR, and everyone else in the English dub!

Yes, Charizard is just too overrated. People who say he isn't overrated are just proving even more that Charizard is overrated by saying that. See? Plus, now Charizard has TWO megas. That is REALLY unfair.

Charizard already had annoyingly enough attention, and now Charizard fans are going nuts. Bulbasaur needs more attention. Bulbasaur is more helpful than Charmander in the gyms.

Ugh, it's just grinding my gears even more than Klink! Just ONE Stone Edge, and it's goodbye Charizard.

Yes, Charizard is barely overrated. I never tried one, but I tried only once. Also, Pikachu is annoying. His voice makes it hard to evolve overrated Pokemon. But not Lucario. Lucario's already evolved from an underrated Pokemon. So, I think Lucario is the only good overrated Pokemon.

I would shake my head in opposition, but really think about this. If Ash was aware that he had a love-struck stalker traveling with him, how would he react? What would he feel?

The idea, at least to me, would be to ask them to talk. Even if he didn't know, Ash should've been uneasy being around her. She's not well mentally!

This should be higher. I've never wanted to slap anyone like I want to slap her! She is so stupid and just downright pathetic.

Too bad she's not smart enough to figure out Ash cares more about Pikachu than anyone else. I'd love to see her crushed by that revelation. I'm a non-shipper, but I'd love to see Ash get with any other girl just so I could see Serena make a fool out of herself out of jealousy. Stupid, shallow person!

I know this makes no sense. Pokemon existed before people, so how would they be able to evolve ONLY through trading? It makes no sense because the wild Pokemon can't evolve!

If you trade a Pokemon, it's basically never coming back. So, I just wouldn't bother with trade evolution.

"Pokemon existed before people"

What?! So, Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori didn't exist because "Pokemon existed before people"?

This was a major problem in Diamond and Pearl. This was back when crits still did double damage. If you watch any Sinnoh Nuzlocke, about half of the dead Pokemon someone had released died to a critical hit.

When you are:
"I am gonna catch it!
I am gonna catch it!
One more move."
And then critical hit...

Noo

My theory for this happening is that Pikachu's levels reset after every region. Think about it. It was around the end of DP when Pikachu defeated Regice, and around the beginning of the Unova anime when Pikachu lost to Snivy. That's why I think that Pikachu's levels reset after every region.

Another annoying thing is that Pikachu keeps beating overpowered Pokemon but loses to people who have never battled before. Either that's being kind or something's wrong.

Shouldn't Pikachu be at level 100 after 10+ years? But then we watch it lose to Water-Type Pokemon in the first gym. HOW DUMB IS THAT?

This is so annoying! I can't believe that they use full restores in the games, but you can consider yourself lucky if you ever see someone use a full restore (or anything as a matter of fact) in the anime.

The Elite Four isn't really that annoying. I love a good challenge (even though my Mega Charizard X in Let's Go almost one-shots the entirety of Lance's team). The full restores are annoying.

Okay, everyone who thinks this is annoying is full of crap. First off, we use full restores and revives all the time and lots of it. The Elite Four only use 2-3 full restores a battle while we use like 5. Calm down, you people. We heal our Pokémon a lot more.

I can almost guarantee that these things will happen next in the show over time. Pignite is going to evolve into Emboar and not listen to Ash until Ash breaks down, cries, and blames himself. Somehow, they're going to say that the Toxic Badge is not an official Unova Gym Badge and make Ash go get the Legend Badge.

They'll find out that Iris is related to that gym and Ash will have to battle her. Later on, Cilan will go and become a chef. The End.

It's just the same thing. Team Rocket tries to get Pikachu (even though there are literally hundreds of other Pokemon to capture) and then gets wrecked by Pikachu.

They probably kill Miltank and Tepig to make hamburgers. Then, sometimes, you see those Pokemon eat hamburgers. Cannibals.

I think one of the Pokedex entries says that Cherrim, or something like that, has a certain taste. Doesn't that mean that someone had to eat one to find that out?!

This always bothered me. When they say that the winner is Dawn from Twinleaf Town, there could always be two Dawns. How do they know which one is which?!

Hello! There's Todd Snap and Tracey Sketchit... Gary Oak, of course (not a traveling companion, but still an important friend of Ash).

I always thought that Alexander would be a good last name for Clemont.

Me: Yay! You're about to die, yay! (Presses weak move to save PP)

Gym Leader: Sorry. (Uses Hyper Potion)

Me: Nu! (Causes tiny amount of damage)

Gym Leader: (Kills my Pokemon)

Pikachu is the cutest little thing EVER! He is like a little child that learned how to talk. His voice is just cute and adorable.

Just today I forgot to save before capturing Groudon in Pokemon Emerald and I accidentally killed it.

Now THIS annoys the crap out of me. I mean, seriously? Yelling at him for being happy he has six badges? Where're YOUR badges, Iris? In fact, where's that Haxorus? Or Dragonite that listens to you? Or ANYTHING?!

Hey Iris, who's the one who can't evolve Axew?

I've heard that there is only a 6 in 400 chance to evolve Feebas into Milotic. The worst part: Feebas is ugly and knows Splash.

I am so sick of fans that treat anyone who doesn't like all of the same things they do as if they're not human. Grow up already.

Haters of people who have been fans since the '90s when it started.

Nope. When Pokemon Go was released, many said, "The 90s are back."

Before Pokemon Go, it was forgotten except for the internet and video game magazines.

These clowns haven't played a new Pokémon game since Oasis's Wonderwall was relevant, and then they bash the newer gens like they've played them. Losers, right?
