Finally got my girlfriend to play Pokemon

>Calls Bug Types "Bee Types"
>Calls Grass Types "Root Types"
>Calls Water Types "Swimming Types"

Her favorite Pokemon is Gardevoir.

Will she ever be good in this or should I give up teaching her?

Yeah guess it is. I showed her an image with all the Pokemon up till Kalos and got her to pick a team out of her favorites. She picked:

-Gardevoir
-Mantine
-Klefki
-Breloom
-Mega Ampharos
-Mamoswine

Put it together for her and played with it on Showdown. Surprisingly, it won a couple of games. So that got her interested in playing. Still its hard to teach her type advantages and disadvantages. She got confused once I put in Dual Types in the mix.

She sounds like a lost cause, leave her.

She most definitely sounds like she's not genuinely interested in the game and just does it to please you or in order to not be close-minded, rude or whatever. Give up or wait until she shows initiative and seems to actively seek out the game.

Good luck and congratulations because I know that in some level, you're proud of yourself.

That's really cool. I once told a girl I liked that I was into pokemon, and she just made fun of me for it.

I understand wanting to share interests with your significant other, but you guys act like it's the end of the world if yours doesn't play Pokémon to the same extent as you. There are more real hobbies to build your relationship around, and honestly relationships are stronger if there are a few interests that you don't share.

But maybe I'm just a grouchy old curmudgeon who's been in my relationship for long enough to occasionally get sick of my fiancé.

OP here. Yeah, I kind of get that feeling too. Maybe because whenever she visits my apartment she'd find me hatching eggs or battling or something. But there's a chance I can turn her into a decent trainer right?

She says she'll buy a 3DS on her next salary so we can play together. I feel bad because instead of first thinking how nice she is I immediately thought how convenient that is for me since I can now have a consistent trading-evo partner.

If you see things with her staying long-term, then yeah, of course she can be on par with you one day, just don't make it a priority. Patience is a must in relationships and seeing in a large scale can lead to maturity, so imagine being challenged by her around the Ninth Gen.

Also, be honest about how you're happy for yourself that she's finding ways to share more with you. If you share selfishness, it's not as selfish, at least "less wrong".

Then she's never going back

But seriously OP, how old are you? I had the same problem two years ago when I started college with my girlfriend. I think it's best to keep some interests seperate, honestly. I had her breeding and playing Diablo 2 with my and my best friends, and I know she wasn't 100% interested but she definitely pretended to be.

Of course, that was a one-sided relationship and I never really loved her, and eventually it ended. I didn't even want to have sex with her most of the time. But yeah OP, if there is any doubt that she's not 100% interested in what you're doing, leave it and do something else. She's great though, so maybe do something that SHE wants to do, even if you hate it...?

OP here. I'm 23 and I actually met her in college. She did play some Pokemon when she was a kid, but all she remembers from then was Bulbasaur, Pikachu and Raticate. So I guess she's a little interested? The overall number of new Pokemon intimidated her though.

So I got her to hatch some of my eggs though and she got a shiny Klefki on her 2nd batch of eggs. She looked genuinely happy and wanted to know if I would give it to her when she starts up X. Does this mean she really IS interested?

You should be happy you even got her to play, I'm a girl and my friends think im a geek when i play it. If it doesn't involve eye lashes or makeup then they aren't interested. Be grateful!!
