You Know You're a Big Pokémon Fan When...

You stay up until 1:30am on Monday morning, watching Pokémon Sunday and reporting news for a Pokémon fansite. (Guilty).
When a Wi-Fi Event starts, you go into town the day it starts to download it because you don't have Wi-Fi (Guilty).
 
... When asked what kind of animal ears you would wear, you blurt out Eevee to a group of non-pokemon fans

... When you spend all night planning a stratergy to defeat the Battle Frontier.

... When you wear your PokeWalker to work and try to pass it off as a normal pedometer.

... When you place a plushie Darkrai next to your lazy sibling who is napping at 3PM hoping it will give them a nightmare.

... When you find yourself in a dilemma over which plushie you want to sleep with tonight ... then deciding to screw the rules and dump the whole lot on your bed.
 
...when you refer to a gym leader as if it's some guy you are going to get into a fist fight with later.

I got one better.

Going to so much trouble in importing a Japanese Pikachu Nintendo 64 and buying the very 1st Japanese stadium that never got outside japan which doesn't accept even half the Pokemon from your japanese green version for battling due to it being not 100% complete model wise (there's only a small selection of rentals aswell) and knowing all this while buying because you want it as part of your collection.

I actually did this just so I can say I have all 3 stadiums finally but the true first game is rediculously limited compared to the 2 that did make it out.XD

Also just to add on top of that.
Buy Pokemon games just because they're dissappearing. Did that back when the 3rd gen games were being pulled off shelf here and to makes matters worse I already had the games so I ended up buying a spare Emerald and a spare sapphire.o_O

Naming your animal crossing town after Pokemon.

Naming toon link in windwaker after Ash from the anime.

I'm actually kind of guilty on those things.^-^;;;;;;

- When you spend all day writing a combination of posts to Role Plays and a URPG capture story.
- When you own some form of 13 of the 16 games in the main portable series that have English translations.
- When you have a notepad devoted to sketches and doodles of trainers you created yourself.
- When you reply to a list like this.


Guilty of all.
 
When you have over 100 splices
When you have a drawer dedicated to them
Have almost every single game
 
...You not only collect the plushies and figurines, you also create backstories for each one.

I always throw stones at dogs and see if they will evolve.
Dog owners don't really like me. :I
 
Here's a new one for me:

When you spend $12 (about P1000) at the Wonderland carnival games to get a Shaymin plushie because the other ones just aren't cute enough.

Coincidentally, most dolls also cost P1000 in the Pokemon games.
