Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML

Today, I babysat a 10-year-old and we played Pokémon. It was my first time playing, so he showed me. I ended up winning and the kid started crying and told his parents he hated me. They decided not to pay me for the night, and now I'm out of a job. FML

Today, at work, my buddy pulled up in his car. I handed him $40, and he handed me a bag. It must have looked like a drug deal, but he was actually just smuggling in the new Pokémon game for me. I'm 22, and a drug deal would probably have been less embarrassing to explain. FML

Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML

Today, my mom and I somehow got into a serious argument over the ethics of capturing and training Pokémon. FML

Today, I bought How To Train Your Dragon and the cashier started complaining how her kids keep demanding dragon stuff and that mine will start after they see the movie. I don't have any kids, and I didn't have the courage to tell her I was buying it for myself. FML

Today, working my job, I had to explain to a kid that Pokemon is owned by Nintendo and they don't make it for the Xbox. Upset by this, he took hold of my leg and started biting. I'm also suspended, because his mother complained when I kicked him off me. FML

Today, I tried buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. FML

Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML

Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML

Today, as I walked into my class, someone shouted at me, "Wild Snorlax Appeared! Use Your Ultra Balls!", since I am overweight and everyone in class laughed at me. I got made fun of by Pokémon nerds. FML

Tch, I would have walked over, smiled and asked how much it was. Then promptly told them I'm 18 years old and have been playing pokemon games all my life, payed, left the store, then screamed Team Rocket's blasting off again.

My sister's 30 has a child of her own (2 months), her boyfriend is only a few years older than her and he has two kids (ages 11 and 2), my brother is 28 as of yesterday and he has a kid of his own (1 yr), my friends are all 22, and I'm 23 and we STILL play pokemon. Hell my sister and her boyfriend have the new black versions (of which I am VERY jealous about) and she likes to talk to me about which pokemon she has caught recently every time she skype or calls me. It's like what #598 said it's just like Disney movies you are never too old for them.

Was it the latest one? My niece wants it for her birthday. Oh wait. I can't buy it for her because I am over thirty. --- Or I could grow a pair and buy it because why should I care what two geeks at the cash register think?

Well, this is a controversial concept. I'm 23, I have pokemon : white in my room. It sucks that the guy was like that, but you deserved to not get it if you value the opinions of some low-life at the register over your own personal pleasures.
