10 Video Games That Were Ruined By Their Own Fanbases

3. Pokémon

Perhaps the most disagreeable entry on this list, Pokémon has an absolutely terrible fanbase of annoying, fanatical fans. Like Minecraft, the series is principally aimed at children, but that hasn€™t stopped fully-grown adults from dressing up, trading Pokémon cards with their friends and acting like complete morons at tournaments and public events.

The only reason Pokémon isn€™t higher on this list is because of how universally revered the series has become, with millions of diverse fans across the globe taking part.

Relatively speaking, the absolute worst Pokémon fans are a staggering minority compared to the rest, but they€™re still out there, defending the fact that the series hasn€™t developed in any meaningful way in over twenty years, and complaining about the various versions of the games, arguing over whether over which generation was the superior.
