You've probably heard of this concept before, but just in case, I'll explain it.

Basically what you do is post geeky or crazy things you do if you're addicted to Pokemon. They can be anything from doing something that you can do in a video game because you believe you can do due to the video game (i.e. rolling into a complete ball as in Metroid), or just something like knowing or doing something in the game that you have to spend a lot of time on.

Just in case you still don't get it, I have 32 to start us off. Have fun!


1. You can recite each and every Pokémon in order for memory.
2. You began playing Pokémon while there were only 150/151 Pokémon.
3. You like too many Pokémon to have just one favorite.
4. You go inside immense caves looking for items.
5. You know Pokémon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon aren't REAL Pokémon games.
6. You own each and every Pokémon game out so far.
7. You go to a hospital and expect completely free service.
8. You go into a hospital computer and try to put items in it.
9. You take your dog and try to shove it into a half-red, half-white ball.
10. You try to shove your dog into your computer.
11. You think you can ride your bicycle up steps.
12. You enter a city and you look up in the sky, expecting to see a sign saying where you are.
13. You throw a CD with 'Bite' written on it at your dog continuously, saying "LEARN BITE!"
14. After reading that last one, you said, "Bite isn't a TM!"
15. You surf up and down the coastline looking for a MISSINGNO.
16. Someone looks at you and you say "HAH!! YOU MADE EYE CONTACT! NOW WE HAVE TO HAVE A POKÉMON BATTLE!"
17. You know all of your type advantages/disadvantages.
18. You know every Pokémon's type(s).
19. You are really nice to your dog at night, hoping it will evolve into an Umbreon.
20. You demand a fight with the owner of every gym (as in exercising gym) across the country.
21. You demand a badge from every owner of every gym across the country.
22. You ask someone for directions to the Pokémon League.
23. You ask your Mom if you can go on an adventure, expecting her to be calm and say "Sure!"
24. You find a rock in the backyard and throw balls at it, yelling, "I WILL CATCH YOU, GEODUDE!!" even when your neighbors look at you like you're crazy.
25. You grab a bird and command it to fly you home.
26. You know what PP, HP, TM, and HM stand for.
27. You've ever actually trained a Pokémon from a low level all of the way up to level 100.
28. You've ever legitimately filled up your Pokédex completely (aside from maybe Event exclusive ones)
29. You eat many Calcium Supplements, claiming that you need to raise your Special Attack.
30. There is an immense rainstorm and you go out looking for Kyogre.
31. There is an immense heatwave and you go out looking for Groudon.
32. You actually think you can fit a bike, medicines, berries, CDs, balls, and multiple other items into one, small backpack.

When...

You breed your pets for EV's and IV's.

You think using a red stone on your dog will turn it into a Flareon.

You here Brittany Spears singing and you think shes Jigglypuff (they both put you to sleep.)

You refer to Bush, Cheney, Condaleza Rice, and *insert important political person here* as the Elite Four.

You go to the Zoo and pay them some money thinking they will allow you to catch the animals.

You know you've played too much Brawl when Woops, wrong one.

When you have a bad dream, thinking that a wild Darkurai is roaming around your area.
When you memorized the Poke Rap.
When you have played Pokemon Shiny Gold (rom hacked game).
When you think Jotoh is the best region.

I totally used to have that memorized. Not anymore, but I could probably still recite the last verse..

Charmeeeleon!
Wartortle!
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl!
Omanyte!
Slooowpoke!
Pidgeot, Arbok, that's all folks!

Yeah, that's sad. Like, really, really, sad.

When you can name ten Poke'mon from Diamond and Pearl other than Lucario, the starters, the legendaries, and the new EV stages. I can't.
Buneary, Lopunny, Finneon, Pachirisu, Honchkrow, Staravia, Staraptor, Starly, Garchomp, Skuntank. Just random ones, first I could think of.
Yeah, I really have no life...

When you post in this thread.
Or create it. :laugh:

when you put silly putty next to your dog hoping to get an egg
Haha! My Ditto has been in the daycare of my Diamond game since I got it. It started at level 40, and is now level 78. I'm going for 100.

-You ever watched the Anime
-You wish Pokemon were real
-You endlessly exploited the MissingNo/other random lv 100+ Pokemon glitch in Red/Blue
-You've been playing since Red/Blue
-You profess your love for Pokemon publicly
-You read one or more Pokemon comics online (e.g. Pebble Version)
-You will never get rid of your Pokemon cards

That's all I have for now.

You know you're obessed with Pokemon when:

1. Your avatar is a Pokemon.
2. Your sig contains Pokemon
3. You made a request in the custom Pokemon shop.

I don't know anybody like that.
Or you are one of the four owners of said Pokemon shop. :laugh:

Jeez, the geekiness never ends for me, does it? Ah well, I'm proud to be the biggest possible geek I can be.

1. When you think all nurses and police officers look the same
2.When you buy a DS mainly for pokemon
3. When you try and swim back and forth on the same spot, day and night, with the only thing going on in your mind is "if the swimmers in pokemon can do it, so can I"!!!!

When you randomly pick up the words "Jnyx"(you owe me a soda) or "Ditto" (me too) in a conversation and say "My favorite is Magmar!"

When you have two(or more) warstories archived on smogon.

when you hear "Adamant" and think "+Atk, -Sp. Atk".

I'm guilty of the last two.

LOL at Meta-kirby's #1 :)

When your dog is bitten by a poisonous snake, you tell it to stop moving. It will stop the spread of the poison. :)

.
Wait, all these things seem pretty normal to me. I've done all of these several times. Also;

16. Someone looks at you and you say "HAH!! YOU MADE EYE CONTACT! NOW WE HAVE TO HAVE A POKÉMON BATTLE!"
I tried this once, the person just ignored me. :(

And I think you've played pokémon too much when you restart the game, trying to catch every legandary with a normal ball, just for the fun of it. Getting all your boxes filled with Pichus that have volt tackle and are trained to lvl 100 with just exp share would also be pretty insane. I tried but quit after a while knowing it was near impossible.

Inb4 any use of AR or GameShark etc, if you use that you aren't a real trainer.

Edit:

-challenge your dad to a gym battle
I LOL'd at this. Should try it sometime.

7: The doctor was the one who injured me, so I DEMANDED free service. :D
11: I've tried, so I assume I thought it was possible. XD
27: My starters in silver and ruby.
28: Standard pokedex in ruby, everything except for deoxys and jirachi.

I'm not THAT bad. XD
