one question: what is flaming? I know I might sound stupid saying that, but...I seriously don't know what flaming is

[White-Feather]

Yah me too what the heck is flaming I used to be a pokemon fan and I don't see how flaming has to do with pokemon

[Fairy Friend]

Flaming is like... okay, say you have a fanfic submitted. Flaming that fanfic would be like saying, "YOU SUCK QUIT WRITING NOW THIS PIECE OF CRAP IS HORRIBLE". Stuff like that. Most of the flames are horribly written.

[♥ Coheo[may] ♥]

Sounds interesting, I'll think about it.

[Candyapple]

[White-Feather]

Yep, that's pretty much it. Here's the definition of flame. I'm posting it mostly because I'm bored, but also because I'm still amazed that "flame" is actually in the dictionary. So, from the Oxford Canadian Dictionary, year 2004:

an angry message of censure or disparagement sent by one user of a computer network to another.

I can't stand when people flame Pokemon as well as the people who play it. I don't see what's so bad about it; it's just a game. At first it was a fad, but now it's become an a series that's not going anywhere. If it was a fad it would have died our years ago, such as the case with Tickle Me Elmos and Furbies. To summarize what was written on Gamedaily:

-Nintendo shipped more than 1.72 million copies of Pokemon Emerald before it was released in North America.
-In its American release, Pokemon Emerald sold more than 882,000 copies.

I LOVE Pokemon and stinkin' proud of it. I'd join the site, but I can't go onto places hosted by hostultra.com.

Yeah and I heard they sold over two million copies of Ruby and Sapphire about a year ago... who says it's going out of business now?

I've never been made fun of for Pokemon, that I can remember, anyway. Everyone who has remember that they probably doesn't even know what their making fun of. I was sitting in homeroom one day reading D N Angel and this idiot started making fun of it just because of the "Angel" part. Didn't even have a clue of what it was about. Pretty pathetic...

Don't ppl have something worthwhile to do? Obviously not...

[DetectiveOcelot]

I loved pokemon, and still do. Problem is, if i told anyone other than my friends, I'd be laughed at by people from across the state... knowing my crappy classmates... bunch of jerks and complete idiots is all they are... My friends and i are the only decent people... oops.. off topic... Anyway, I still buy and play the games... and I know a couple other people that do, too... Don't watch the show too much.. I hate it when they take a good show and change it to a little kid's show... did the same thing with Mew Mew Power...

[farmergal]

Yeah, I only like to watch when Ash battles the gym leaders for whatever reason. I watch it on Saturday anyway 'cause Saturday mornings I'm with my mom and she doesn't have cable, so I'm stuck with news, toddler shows, Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles or Pokemon at 10:00. So Pokemon wins. It's turned really kiddy...and after 600+ episodes you can't really expect anything else.
