My folks always try to be supportive and stuff, they think Im their 'creative video gamer' while my other two siblings are scholorship winning atheletes. They try to act like it doesnt bother them but I can tell they don't really understand. Every now and then I'll try to show them a game Im excited about or try to convey how cool something is and they just pat me on the back and say 'thats nice'.

Both my parents have always tried to take an active interest in my Pokémon hobby, even if they don't understand it or why I like it so much. If my mom catches me playing it when I'm at her house, she'll ask me all sorts of questions like, "What Pokémon is that? What does it do?" Sometimes I'll just hand her my DS and tell her to play while I go do something like get food and she'll get really flustered and be all, "No, please! I... I don't understand how to play and I don't want to break it and I don't want to ruin your game, please anon!" My mom is super cute. Reddit and he'll send me "funny" Pokémon-related pictures he finds there. He'll also sometimes look stuff up on like Wikipedia or something and then the next time we talk, he'll be like, "Hey, anon, did you know that you could use your fishing pole on the statues in Red and Blue version?"

David 1075-1526-5452 Grass, Ivysaur, Sunkern Mon 28 Oct 2013 19:02:50 No. 15314231 Report Quoted By:
My dad's kinda cool I guess. Family was going through some shit last two years with both my parents being hospitalized and now they're divorcing. So I dropped out of college, but now I'm going back. Dad thought it was a good idea to go to Full Sail University for video game design. The lady on the phone from the University was like, "What vidya games are you playing?" And I'm like "Um...Pokemon?" She's all, "Well how would you like to make games like Pokemon?" Well obs she's in salesman mode because they're Japanese games. So I tell my dad that mixing work and play doesn't make work more fun, but play less fun. I'm going for History. Anyway, dad's pretty modern, using tablet computer and saying how futuristic it all is. So he was asking me about playing X with people in Germany and thought that was pretty cool.

In the mid/late 90s right into the early 2000s Pokemon was massively popular in the UK. Kids got stabbed over cards and our school banned it along with other schools in the area (Left high school in 2000).
It was massively big, and everywhere. Probably the biggest craze we've ever seen actually. Nothing really topped it.

>>15314870 In middle school everyone around me was obessed with appearing mature and I was still 100% about pokemon. I had pokemon folders and a pokemon backpack and brought the game with me to school all the time. I did not give a fuck about being a social outcast as if people weren't into the things I was, they didn't interest me at all.
I probably would have been bullied more for it except I had gone to grade school with all these kids and I was a little hardass in grade school who had a reputation for beating the fuck out of people. Not because I was some kind of super toddler but just because I never cried when I got into fights and grade school perception of winning a fight was making the other guy cry, so everyone pretty much left me alone.

When I was a kid my sister and I always watched the Pokemon anime together, and we'd sing the theme song. So to this day both my parents can sing the entire theme song to Pokemon, since my sister and I sang it all the time.

I'm sorry, Luke.
I still have the gameboy, if that helps.

With women it's the opposite. They can fuck whoever they want and not feel bad or feel like it's cheating because they still emotionally love whoever. They even tolerate men fucking other women because "B-but he still LOVES me."
You should have let her know that the game wasn't a threat to your emotional love for her.

Most people who were following the story up to that point didnt like it that much and they had the context and all the opportunity to empathize with Tide
Show it to someone with little to no context and you realize that it was just executed very badly.
There were tons of better ways to convey their relationship than with banshee screeching. Shit, them talking about their dads was ten times more meaningful than HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Once time I was home alone using my PC and got up to take a shower, mom comes home early and yells at me for not having gone to something I was supposed to be at, after she leaves I check my PC to see that I had left up a /vp/ thread discussing how much people probably have sex with their Pokemon in the Pokemon universe, I'm not sure if she looked at it.

That was not a good scene for conveying an awkward romantic bonding. The fact that the type of NOISE that comes out of their mouth is enough to derail the point of the scene for most people shows a failure in execution.
The intent doesnt matter

I had a similar situation, though. I used to get really excited when I caught a new Pokémon and would show my dad. He'd be all, "That's nice, kiddo." He got more excited when I learned how to spell 'Jerry' from the title card on "Tom and Jerry."
