Top 10 Worst Types of Pokemon Fans
Every single fan base has this, including TheTopTens. I hate it when people rabidly and forcefully hate things because they are from a new generation, not theirs. Sorry fans, the old Disney cannot and probably never will come back, like Nintendo, metal bands, the Internet, and fan bases. They all can't accept the fact that new things can be good. The people like that will grow up playing the Wii U, meanwhile, us (in the far, far future) will be playing with Nintendo JoyToys or whatever.
While I have nostalgic moments with earlier games but not with newer games, I honestly don't see anything wrong with newer games. I've played some newer games, and I know that newer games have their own charm to them. If I were to be handed any game, I'd play it and enjoy it.
But I do have a problem with insane fans of Generation 1 that don't respect opinions and hate anything that isn't Gen 1. All of them are enjoyable.
Amourshippers are some of the most toxic shippers I have ever seen. They like to bash other ships. They are worse than Pokeshippers. Just because Serena and Ash kissed doesn't mean it is canon. They haven't even dated, and Ash is totally oblivious to the fact that Serena likes him.
Also, many of them went so far as to say rudely that the yaoi and yuri shippings suck. They like to "prove" the fact that amour is the best. I know that our own shipping is the best, but it has gone too far when you are forcing people to like your own ship. I think that is being selfish.
I like Pokeshipping, but I also like Advanceshipping. However, I am primarily a Pearlshipper! Does that make me a bad person? No! It doesn't! Pokeshippers are so annoying and obnoxious and don't respect other people's opinions!
They bash fans of shippings that involve Ash but don't involve Misty, especially if they are fans of shippings that involve Ash but don't involve Misty, but involve the main characters who are girls but not Misty! This is probably because Misty is a main character who is a girl! I like some Pokeshippers, but most Pokeshippers are obnoxious and rude!
Personally, I love Charizard. He's not exactly my favorite Pokémon, but he's quite up there. Not only is he simply classic, but he's also a fire-breathing dragon (yes, dragon, not lizard). A simple yet badass concept.
Also, I loved Ash's Charizard from the anime. But if someone is so crazy about Charizard that they spit on the other Pokémon without giving them a chance, then that's when it becomes a problem.
Honestly, the most annoying of the entire fanbase are those guys who relentlessly defend newer games and completely disregard any of the games from older generations. I have no problem with liking the newest game, but don't just instantly call the older games irrelevant.
Ok, I am okay with Serena, but I don't really like her character. She is really soft when she sees Ash and is just... just... weird! Sorry if this is mean to any of you fans, but I don't really like her.
Again, I think Pokémon made this character to get girls' attention. Not many girls liked Pokémon before XY came out.
I hate Serena! She is nothing more than a Mary Sue who has a stupid crush on Ash, and her character is just pointless!
AmourShipping was cringe. Why not make it actually natural like other characters had?
So my friend plays Pokemon Go more than I do because she, for one, actually enjoyed it and I don't (I'm lazy, so what). What annoys me to no end is how she acts all proud and mighty because of this. I've been a Pokemon fan my entire life (literally my parents raised me on it), and it hurts when she acts like she's the bigger and better fan because she plays the game more.
I have nothing against people enjoying the game as their first introduction to the series, but I don't like it at all when this friend starts questioning that I'm a fan. Honestly, she asked me to name six legendaries, and because I didn't mention any from Gen 1, she said I didn't know Pokemon. It's okay if you're new and enjoy the game, even if you're someone just following a trend, but I draw a line when they think they actually know more than I do.
This Gen mainly gets hated because of designs, so here goes:
Each generation has its "ups" and "downs" on designs. This is because Ken Sugimori changes up the style each Gen. (Take Gen 3 and 2 designs, for example.) If you can't consider Unova Pokemon as "Pokemon," then what even is a "Pokemon?" Yeah, yeah, there's the "ice cream" that's more of a glacier, Vanillite, and the Pokemon with repetitive evolutions, Klink, but they're both just like Muk, Electrode, and Weezing's situation, but with a more complex design. Besides, there are Pokemon like Zoroark, Bisharp, and Hydreigon, so Unova is not totally bad.
They're always in it for the money. I wish the community was like it was in Gen 5/Early Gen 6, and when Patreon wasn't a thing.
They're ALWAYS comparing the games and starting generation wars. Some of them are okay, though...
The only ones I know that are generally terrible are DistantKingdom and Verlisify. Anybody who knows them can probably guess why they suck.
The Newcomers
These losers are also known for harassing fans of the new voice actors. Then you have unemployed, lazy losers like Noah Bors or Jordan Eschelman spewing lies and pushing a selfish agenda - even saying the actor recasting is worse than the developers of the games being harassed on social media.
SOVA is truly just as bad as Genwunners and Natdexers.
A toxic group of losers who refuse to move on with their lives after Veronica Taylor was recast as Ash from Pokémon. They harass the new voice actors on Twitter.
Okay, I have to apologize. There are some comments here that seem a bit toxic, and I am guilty of them myself on this segment. I was a teenager back then, so, again, I apologize.
That said, I do think that there is a problem with Red's fanbase. They beat dead horses, try to defend their arguments by saying that the leagues Ash did win "don't count," and use video game physics to say that Ash's strategies are stupid.
But Red actually became a champion, whereas Ash never became a champion despite his attempts. Red is also more powerful. Personally, I just prefer people who have a better reputation. Red uses logic, a key element in battle, while Ash lacks that and basically stumbles his way through. That said, Ash is more entertaining.
They put the Original Series of the Pokemon Anime on a huge, golden, platinum pedestal and say that it is perfect. Meanwhile, they criticize all the other series and their fans because "they don't have Misty! LOL!"
Ugh. These might be worse than Genwunners.
I don't CARE about the original show. I hate the Pokémon anime so much.
What pisses me off about them is not that they try to make Eevee a celebrity, as a guy before said, but that they use it to make edgy animations and ruin it. They add blood, gore, and sad things just to make their animation edgy.
I like Eevee, but I only think it's cute and fluffy. Nothing else. If they added a ghost-type Eeveelution called Souleon, with the Pokémon from my profile picture, I'd be one of those fans. I love ghost types a lot.
I'll admit... I defend them religiously. Now, can I have a fun argument with a hater? I love arguing.
I presume it's about the Coomer kind. The worst kind of them all. Really. They'll try to pry in their sexual fantasies about how they "impregnate and breed them" each day and every day. Yet they don't realize that it has a 1:1 gender ratio, meaning males exist, but some don't care and will go that "extra mile." Sick, puke, disgusting.
As for the edgy fans, I'll pass. If you pollute the internet with the atrocity you call "thirty-fourth rule," then you're a miserable degenerate and belong on a cross. Get an actual job and stop taking commissions from various thirsty, horny troglodytes who only know how to pleasure themselves. If you are that kind of person too, then control yourself and your "feelings," and self-improve instead of cranking that Johnson. I'm out. *Drops mic*
Let's see:
"Pokemon look weird."
All Pokemon look weird the first time you see them. Ken Sugimori always changes up the style each generation.
"Too many Pokemon."
Did anyone complain about this during Hoenn or Johto? Face it, Pokemon will obviously continue to grow. What makes the franchise unique is that it doesn't remove old characters.
"Physical/Special split sucks."
I'm not too sure about this one, but more Pokemon benefit from this than suffer. Psychic types are now balanced better with physical dark-type moves, especially since they have a really low defense stat.
"Burmy, Turtwig, Magmortar, etc., look stupid."
So you're telling me Gorebyss, Exeggutor, Snubbull, or Voltorb didn't look stupid? Each generation has its ups and downs. Besides, Gen 4 also has great Pokemon like Electivire, Luxray, or Floatzel.
My problem with Iris haters isn't their opinion of her. It's that they are hypocrites. They hate Iris, yet enjoy female characters who are just as condescending, childish, and bratty as Iris is. I even saw a few of them saying that they wish she was seriously hurt or killed. Wishing harm on a 10-year-old girl sounds creepy, and I hope they never have kids.
People would really find a way to complain about anything.
Why did Ash's Pikachu refuse to evolve in the first place? I mean seriously, Raichu would be famous for everything Pikachu is now if he chose to touch the bloody Thunderstone. But nope, they were afraid of changing their mascot because of fanboys like these. People who think that Pikachu is a fantastic battler just because of the anime, or because he has the Light Ball equipped, bug the crap out of me! Not to mention that Cosplay Pikachu is pretty stupid.
I get it, this little Pokemon is adorable. I love him too! But enough already - stop shoving Pikachu down our throats!
They're terrible. Every Pokémon game deserves love! They bash the games for absolutely stupid reasons and always act like the other games were flawless.
"The characters are bad." Oh yeah? Sure, Diantha sucked, but what about Emma, Lysandre, AZ, and all the others?! And the older characters aren't better at all, you're just nostalgic! Every game has its good and bad characters.
They say the OST sucks, but they didn't even try to listen to it!
I'm going to stop here. Those people make me crazy. How can you be so disrespectful? Be nice, and everything is nice.
I swear, if someone hears you say you love Charizard, they won't shut up about how "overrated" he is. It pisses me off. I should know how it feels. It's happened to me.
These guys can be just as bad as Charizard fanboys.
Lame reasons to hate Charizard they have.
How can I say this? They're mostly a bunch of 7-year-olds who never watched more anime, and Pokemon is the only thing they watched. And don't get me started on them saying Digimon ripped off Pokemon, even though ironically, it is a way better anime than this garbage. Haters at least have good reasons to dislike the anime. And sure, I understand kids enjoy this, but the way I see it, I don't get why even adults still watch it other than nostalgia.
Ok. So now I have a huge list of haters, I guess... so beware of the Pokémon anime fan haters. Sure, Pokémon is a good anime, but there are also tons of other good anime.
But I don't like Digimon. It confused the hell out of me. But Naruto, Soul Eater, Death Note, and Noragami are good.
Come ON! Dexit's a bad move. If someone's favorite Pokémon isn't in the game, there's a lower chance of them buying the game.
Sorry guys, but Greninja will never be in SWSH thanks to an orange dragon that gets everything served on a silver platter.
I love Hoenn, and it's my third favorite region, but the water. Oh, the water!
My favorite region. I love Team Magma and Groudon.
They are some of the most blind Pokemon fans. They get so attached to XYZ that they ignore its flaws and can even send death threats to anyone who criticizes it.
They hate the old seasons and the current one, thinking that XYZ is superior to the other seasons. That is a narrow-minded opinion and totally simplistic.
