The pokemon fandom has to be one of the biggest sources of fanboyism I've ever had the displeasure of coming across on the internet. All the fans ever care about is more pokemon getting a mega evolution (a horrible god-awful cash-grab gimmick thats being milked into oblivion), and stats. The worst part is that anyone who disagrees with a pokemon fan(boy/girl)'s opinion about newer pokemon related things (such as mega evolutions) is almost always dismissed and labeled as a "genwunner". It's a stupid name for somebody that is "blinded by nostalgia" and does nothing but bash anything after the first 3 pokemon games, which were released in the nineties.
FYI, in case you haven't noticed from my avatar, I'm also a fan of pokemon.
I appreciate this. I used to be a HUGE Pokemon fan back in elementary school. Rocked the gameboy and fire red all the time. However as time continued, I found that the fanbase started degrading into a pile of rubbish. I'm glad you said this.

Agreed, Pokemon was the best up to the 3rd generation. When it reached the 4th then 5th generation, things started to fall. And it seemed like Pokemon started running out of ideas.
So what do you do to earn more money and sell more products? They improvised.
And thus, Mega Evolution was made and all these stranger types of Pokemon with stranger evolutions, and I stopped with everything Pokemon from there.
And Pokemon is pretty overrated if you ask me. But not the retro ones, those have a special place in our hearts.
Edit> I've realized how many times I've said Pokemon, now you try saying Pokemon 5 times fast...

The truth in this is... very truthful. I remember dropping Pokemon for Yu-Gi-Oh somehow and never really went back. I actually was digging around for my gameboy... turns out it did not have the strength of a Nokia phone and was crushed under the awesome wait of my X-Box 360 games... I cri errytim

Holy God almighty you're right... QUICK! GRAB A PIECE OF PAPER! DRAW SOMETHING Before this comment string get's forgotten in the depth of time.
Edit: In all honesty though I just saw this. Evolution always seems to find a way to null out the past which is very saddening at times. And it isn't just for games. Take a look at all types of stuff. Especially art. The so called "evolution" of music is nothing more than a constant changing of sound (for bettter and for worse) which can lead to people forgetting to remember the art that was originally inspiration. Sure there will always remain those fanbases of certain genres but a majority of them will find a cave where they can stay in and remain quiet until ultimately they become extinct.
A really amazing TV Channel that is somehow still existent is TCM. I am in no way a huge fan of very old movies but I do have massive respect for Ted Turner who took all of the old films and preserved them for future generations. And keep in mind that this is coming from a 16 year old kid who has grown up in the world of Mission Impossible, Transformers and some good ole 80's Schwarzenegger, and Stallone flicks.

And when my dad wants to watch entertainment, he only watches TCM...
So , you think people should use guns for fun just to take away lives of 1000nd's of innocent people?
not sure what your talking about? to start off with what when did i say to kill people for fun? you think are military should just stand by while other country's are at war and innocent people are being killed or rather just give those country food and water...
next my guess is your anti-gun right? when did i say that we are going to use are guns to kill people for fun? logic none... but to say why can we not own guns for fun your saying it should be illegal for me to go out to the my range behind my house and shoot my .22 all day long for fun at targets or i can not go hunting birds with my shot gun which i bought it plus the bird tags to go hunt them which is 100% legal right now. question for you a man tells you he is going to kill and hurt you and your family don't you have the right to protect them? he comes at you with a sword what would you use
a. your fists
b. a base ball bat
c. a 20 ga shot gun
4. your phone to call the cops to come hopefully in the next few seconds

i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed
I have no idea have you Americans do it ,but I detect something quite CoDdy about you...
am Canadian... are gun laws are very different i mean we can not even shoot a hand gun on are own land it has to be an official range to shoot them. so cause some one likes guns means they like cod... god your logic is bad

I don't even remember there being a story. I mean unless you want to count Super Mario Bros. as a story cause that's what Wind Waker was. Going from island to island and killing some bad guys whilst trying to defeat Ganondorg for the Triforce. Basically he's trying to go He-Man in saying "I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!".
To say that the gameplay was attrocious then I highly reccomend you play Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. They have the exact same controls. Granted, Wind Waker to focus A LOT on the WIND WAKER aspect but I didn't find it too bad at all. IN fact it made the game overall feel like it was set in a big world. Graphics were gorgeous and the new Wii U HD remake looks fantastic.
List how console is superior to PC and I will list how PC is superior to console.
I'm not sure others would consider MLG a fandom though, but I think so.
Anyways, I seriously dislike people thinking (specifically in this fandom) that they are "superior" to others through the use of shooting and possibly even hacking (I hear and see a lot of complaints from hackers in CoD). Not to mention the ridiculous lines they use.

I Am fine with most fandoms, It's the members that try to stick it in your face like it's Some evangelical religion that annoy me.
There seems to be a large amount of these with furry's, Bronies, And some homestuck fans. But overall All fandoms are not bad. Some in them can be annoying though.

Minecraft is a spicy meme

I don't actually dislike any fanbase, I just hate it when they say that "their fanbase is superior."
I'm actually surprised no one has started a flame war yet...

I cry for you... my apologies

In all honesty however, Windwaker is up there with Ocarina of Time.

Sky army and windwaker haters are up there.
