You Know You Play Too Much Pokemon When...

Honestly, if I was driving by someone's house and saw a massive statue of an Arceus or something, I would immediately pull over, knock on their door, and ask for their autograph. That would be SO COOL.

- You refuse to exercise in any capacity unless you are playing Pokémon Go (If you're going to get fit, you might as well do SOMETHING productive).
- You have a spreadsheet that has the encounter rates of every Pokémon in every single Pokémon game (This is unfortunately NOT a joke).
- You have, on multiple occasions, said "Oh my Arceus" instead of "Oh my God," prompting a TON of confused looks from friends and family members.
- You are now looking to see if there are any artists on Kofi willing to make you a life-sized Arceus statue.

Maybe wait a little. They have lofesozed plushe jolteon vapore9n and flareob... it might be in the cards...

Hmm speaking of cards. You build a 3d holograph device that reads cards, projcts cards as pokemon amies , and take the result for walkies.

Heck you make the results game compatable and take your whole main game team out for walkies!

(Don't get me wrong, the new Mario Kart and Donkey Kong games are plenty fun. They just aren't enough to convince someone to drop $450 JUST so they can play it. I just wanna catch 'em all, dang it!)

- For whatever reason, you "practiced" how to throw a Pokéball as fast as you can to "capture" the neighborhood birds and squirrels (I was a strange child)

--You have learned every aspect of Ash's Poke Ball toss, hat turn and all.
--You wonder why you don't get a colorful background when you do the above
--You have bought an OG Ash hat just to do the full Poke Ball toss

Does that mean eating a rare candy in real life is like eating a Pomeg Berry? You know, because it lowers your overall HP stat... 🤔

It's funny that you mention that, I once briefly considering buying the Hoenn League badges before. I never got them because 11-year-old me was broke, but maybe someday...

- You completed the Pokédex in your favorite Pokémon game, but you don't stop there. You printed out the Pokédex Diploma and framed it on your wall, so EVERYONE knows you're a Pokémon Master. It HAS led to some awkward conversations though...
"Friend: Oh, is that your school diploma? What did you major in?
Me: Catching 'em all."

I honeslty tjink tjat most of us on tje forum would be willong to do both those things.

You comission an artist via kofi to imortalize.your fave mon scene in 3d art format. Life sized 3d art format. Not only will u never forgrt, neitjer will any who get too close yo your lawn!
jokes aside, a life sized 3d statue of my favorite scene from pokemon could actually be kinda dope

You could even go the extra mile and add red LEDs in the eyes so you have a pair of red eyes staring at you at night. Or you could add a motion sensor and speaker that plays Giratina's cry whenever someone walks by it, thoroughly scaring the Arceus out of all of your neighbors.

I want one of these now :(

Or how about instead of just Giratina's cry, how about the "Giratina, strike them down!" quote from Legends Arceus

But I do agree, the red lights would be epic!
