I’ve hooked up with a guy who is 21 and plays pokemon. But not this much. If he ever went to a championship, I would set fire to something. Probably his deck. This game is beyond my mental capacity. I just can’t take in all the loser aspects of it at once, and simultaneously try to understand how the game is played.
In the winners’ photo up there: one of these things is not like the others. What does this tell you about this man’s sad, sad life? Big ups for accuracy in the tags.
Yeah, he’s fat, he never had sex and he’s a fucking nerd, but at least he’s been somewhere, you know, and for fucks sake, although he’s big and shit, he still is just a kid.
And at least he’s happy, that’s good for him. Maybe, being pokemon world champion, he’ll achieve more than me in my whole life, who the fuck knows.
Admittedly, this is a little lame. But is it any worse than playing any other (mental, not sports) game for competition?
The fact is, there is a card game with skill involved and this boy loves it and is good at it. It warms my heart that is dad is so happy for him and willing to travel around with him. There are many parents who wouldn’t do that for their child even if it were a sport. I’m glad this kid found something that makes him happy, and I can’t understand all the hate.
lol, playing pokemon IS lame at his age, look at how he dwarfs those little kids.
it is SUCH a simplistic game, and i would know because when my bro got into it, i learnt how to play so he’d have someone to play with. it is seriously made for kids under 12 and no older.
26 countries… and out of all of them he gets to represent America. That’s just fucking exciting. The Dad goes, “I can’t be more proud of this kid.” REALLY?
Leave this guy alone. You don’t know the back story. He and his dad just moved to a new town on the other side of the country where he doesn’t fit in. He’s nice and all, but this gang of Asian kids (their leader, Jan Ni, is pictured in the middle) keep making his life hell.
Things started looking up for him when he met this popular girl that seems to like him, but she just happened to be the gang leader’s ex-girlfriend. Every time he’s out with her the damn kids force him into a Pokebattle where he loses and is humiliated in front of her. Jan Ni reminds him by yelling in his face “You’re Pokedeck Sucks, Stevie!”
The kid met an old Pokechamp, 15 years, who agreed to teach him how to play proper Pokemon. Though the tasks seemed pointless at first, they were actually vital techniques to build his understanding of the Pokeworld. (known as Clean the Gameboy, Sort my cards, Tickle the feet, and Write the /slash fiction)
After the basic training was complete, Stevie’s teacher took him to the Arbok-Kai elementary school, where the kids practiced Pokemon. The kids there played cutthroat elimination as taught by the school hall monitor. A truce between the two teachers insured that Stevie and Jan Ni’s gang would not Pokebattle until the tournament.
One day he saw his trainer on the beach performing the Midoro technique by himself. The scenery was beautiful and he would always remember it.
At the tournament, Stevie beat opponent after opponent. Things looked good until one of Jan Ni’s gang was instructed to tear Stevie’s Mewtwo in their match. The kid didn’t want to do it, because he would get disqualified, but felt too much peer pressure to refuse the order.
It looked like Stevie couldn’t continue, but, after begging his teacher to help him, his trainer took the torn Mewtwo and rubbed his hands over it until it fused together to make the card complete.
Stevie faced Jan Ni in the finals and remembered the Midoro technique his master had used. On his first attempt, he beat the 9 year old with it and won the championship in a huge upset.
The crowd lifte, err…, tried to lift him on their shoulders in victory. Jan Ni forced his way through the crowd and even handed him the Poketrophy, stating, “You’re all right, Silverstrom.” Victory was his.
In two years, he will go to his master’s hometown in Japan to play Pokemon for real.
You fuckers are COLD. The kid found something that he truly enjoys doing and his father is right there alongside him, doing whatever he can to support him. His social awkwardness, weight issues or dogged pursuit of a juvenile hobby cannot overshadow the sheer beauty in hearing his father tell him that he is proud of him.

September 7th, 2009 - 12:12
he cheats by hiding several thousand cards under his shirt
September 7th, 2009 - 12:23
@drunkula he cheats by eating his opponents
September 7th, 2009 - 13:16
This is America at it’s finest.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
Alternate comment: I may not be able to beat him at pokemon but at least I can find my penis.

I like how his dad’s inner loser has surfaced, and he’s trying to get a word in edgewise so he can try to sound ‘cool’ too.
I really hope there’s some sort of money involved in this and his dad is getting some sort of kickback in exchange for the public humiliation.
September 7th, 2009 - 13:39
“I have come all but twice”…. and never with a woman

At least he’s doing something with his life. At least he has ambition!
Meanwhile, I sit here and quietly sob.

Hey dude poogers this looks like a friend of ours from school.
September 9th, 2009 - 03:56
Being world champ in Pokemon is like being world champ for shoving marbles up your ass. Equally worthless.
September 9th, 2009 - 09:33
when his father is describing the distances they have traveled he keeps shaking his head. in a sort of… “what have I done with my life” kind of way.
