So /vp/ I got an apartment with a buddy of mine recently and was setting up my room where i had a set of shelves. On one of the shelves I put up all of my pokemon games, (red, gold, silver, ruby, sapphire, emerald, pearl, diamond, platinum, heartgold, black and white 2 for those of you who are curious) when my roomates friend comes in and goes "Holy shit, I love pokemon!"

Now, don't worry. At first I was skeptical. I asked him which game he had played last and he did say pokemon black, so it was off to a good start. Then things took a turn for the casul. I asked him how excited he was gen 6. He gave me a look of somewhat confusion and quickly said he was busy, couldn't keep up with everything. Understandable.

Then I asked him what he thought of fairy type. He didn't even know that had fucking happened. But that's okay, I told myself, he just hasn't kept up with news. So then he told me he could kick my ass in a battle, I laughed and said "Sure, which tier do you want to battle in?". He went silent. His face looked puzzled. I realized my mistake a second too late. He had no idea what I was talking about and asked "Tiers?".


Fuck me, /vp/. I hate how every person i meet in real life who "loves" pokemon doesn't know fuck all about it. Anyone else have similar stories and experiences?
