I bring it up all the time at parties


one time i brought in my little actions figure to a party

they love it


srs

Hey, I'll put it this way, my girlfriend is far more tolerant of me liking Pokemon than she is of me posting for hours a day on HFBoards.

How is it Bryzgalov can't find a job, yet Thomas signed a few million and MacDonald won't clear waivers?! Bryz is a former vezina candidate!

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I'm not sure how this is so funny.

I bring Pokemon up all the time at parties and it seems to get the ladies

like all the ladies

ask them what their favorite pokemon is and they'll flock to you

Do they have Pokemon in Kirby's Dream Land?

The man is insane and had a terrible tenure in Philly. He will prove he can still play and he back.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

It's funny cause you're all so defensive about it automatically. I never once insulted any pokemon fans. I said it creeps me out and IMO it's immature. Thats my opinion. You chimed in with yours, and were the first to take shots at me. It is what it is.

I like nostalgia as much as the next guy, but I grew out of things like Ninja Turtle action figures and super nintendo. We can TALK about it, but we don't still ****ing PLAY with them! The only video game I play now is NHL, and now GTA V. You can make fun of that and I'm not going to go into a massive defensive diatribe about it. You don't like it? Cool. I do.

And lol @ Pokemon being dark.

When you say an activity "creeps [you] out and is immature" you're implicitly insulting the people who engage in that activity.

And Jim "Net Detective" Carey was a Vezina winner. What's your point?

I think it's his (perceived) personality in the locker room that plays into it. I've heard that his eccentricities just don't quite match up well with some players on the teams he's been on, and that he's been a bit of a diva.

I'm not stating that as a fact, but coupled with the tumultuous past couple of seasons he's had in Philadelphia, I can see how some teams would be reluctant to sign him if it's true. But I will say I'm surprised that he didn't even get a tryout - I thought he'd at least get that.

Well for one you have to be 17 or older to play GTAV, and I wasn't playing GTAV when I was a child. If I grew up playing GTAV, and was still playing it 15 years later, yes then something is wrong. That's how I feel about pokemon. But hey, go hard. Just don't know why all you pokemen have to flip out everytime someone speaks ill of your beloved.

I think I started this lol. I play Pokemon every couple/Few weeks. I just wanted to know why you thought what you thought. Didn't think it would into a big discussion. Oh well.

I'm gonna go ahead and reinforce this.

I'm a 23 year old university student with a girlfriend who plays Pokemon in his spare time. Deal with it.

Yeah, I read that in Professor Farnsworth's voice.

My girlfriend would probably way prefer me playing Pokemon instead of the combination of watching hockey, playing NHL 14 and posting on here. At least if I did that, she'd probably enjoy playing along with me. I just never got into it, personally. I've been playing NHL since the pre-Playstation PC titles.

 

[MarkGio]

The biggest thing I remember about Pokémon was that nobody EVER played the card game, yet they all bought the cards!?

LOL pretty much

The TCG is pretty big nowadays I guess... I wouldn't know, I don't play, but I guess the tournaments always have good turnouts (from what I've heard)

 

[tmurfin]

Hey hey hey.. Slow down with the Poke-hate.. I don't play on the daily but I did go out and buy a ds just to play, every once in a while I whip it out. I don't think that makes me immature, I work around 120 hours every two weeks, and IMO, I can do whatever the **** I want to pass my time and still be a man (don't go there )

Also, GTA V Online is ****in bomb!

 

[Beats By CoRD]

GTA online still isn't working for me. ****.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I'm not going to bother with online as I'll probably be ganked by a bunch of 8 year olds within 5 minutes.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

I'm probably going to wait until after my mid-terms to go online, because I know if I go online/try to get online before the exams, I'm going to fail my exams.

I know no one cares but Cervenka is ripping up the KHL behind only Dawes in ppg

I'm telling you, we should never have let go of Dawes.

Yea that was the strangest buyout.

I really wish that "perfect storm" hadn't happened when he came over last year, between the freak injuries, lockout and team crumbling he never had a chance to establish himself.

I still think he could have been a successful NHL player.

Only way it would make sense would be if he asked to go to Europe or something.

He went to Atlanta the season after...then the Wolves, Bulldogs and Canadiens, and finally KHL.

Yea I honestly think without the blood clot he would have been an successful 2nd line winger. Its to bad but now he is playing with Kovy so I am sure he will come back with him.

This is why researching is a good idea before posting on a topic.
