Pokémon/Drinking Game

All The Tropes and Miraheze are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
including but not limited to damages to your liver and other people's cars.

Drinking game for Pokémon (the TV show):

Take a sip when:

• Misty mentions her bike. You will die in the first season.
• Someone utters, whether intentionally/unintentionally, a rather painful Incredibly Lame Pun (Dub only).
  • If there's any noticeable Lip Lock.
• Someone/something facefaults.
• Ash says a Pokemon's name and then whips out his Pokedex to check its data.
• Ash gets another badge.
• Ash comments on how Gary is always one step ahead of him. Take two if Gary appears.
• Ash explains to the person that he just met that he wants to become a Pokemon Master.
• Brock hits on a pretty girl, only to be dragged away by Misty/Max/Bonsly/Croagunk.
• Ash uses Pikachu in battle, even when the type is a disadvantage, and the other Pokemon is stronger then Pikachu.
  • Two if Pikachu uses Thunderbolt
  • Take a drink if Ash wins with a Pokémon with type disadvantage, or if he loses with a Pokémon with type advantage. Especially potent as of Black and White.
• Team Rocket shows up to steal Pikachu using some crazy machine.
  • Take another if Pikachu is the first one to attack, only for Team Rocket's machine to turn out to be lightningproof this week. (What? Too specific to happen that often? Oh if you only knew)
  • Take another if they say their motto right in front of Ash and friends, no matter how many times Ash has heard it already.
  • Finish your drink if they are "blasted off again!"
    • Are you sure you're not trying to kill us!?
• Whoever answers correctly first on "Who's that Pokemon" or "Pokémon Trainer's Choice" doesn't have to drink. Everyone else has to take a sip. Whoever gets it wrong has to take two.
  • If the Pokémon Trainer's Choice answer is incorrect, everyone takes two sips. If it's the "Arbok evolves into Seviper" one, everyone finishes their drink.
• Hell, just drink whenever someone says the name of the Pokemon of the day. If it's a plot important episode, take a shot whenever Ash yells Pikachu's name or if Dawn yells Piplup's.
• When Ash's Gym battle is interrupted by Team Rocket
  • Chug if the gym leader gives Ash the badge right after
• Take a shot every time the type matchups are mentioned. (Did you know Grass is weak to Fire? Grass is weak to Fire! Fire-types have an advantage over Grass-types!)
  • Additionally, take a shot every time they still get it wrong, whether getting the matchup itself wrong or ignoring secondary types (or Levitate in AG and after.) Seriously, even if the Pokémon that are used by whoever's supposed to win were 10 levels higher, some of the outcomes would be incredibly unlikely.
• Take a shot each time Meowth falls in love with someone. Take another if he only knows them for one episode and then never mentions them again.
• Take two shots when a Pokémon is hit by an attack it is supposed to be immune to. Three shots if it's a poison attack on a Steel-type or an electric attack on a Ground-type. Levitate and similar abilities are ignored pre-AG and the Magnemite family is considered pure Electric in Season 1 for the purposes of this.
• If an rival appears and for every douche action he/she does, drink.
  • Drink 5 bottles if it's Paul, and don't count every action he does. Your kidneys would hate you if you counted them.
• When someone makes a blantantly bad move just so that the writers can let the other person win, take a shot.
  • Two is its during a gym battle or league match.

Drinking game for Pokémon (the games):

Take a sip when:

• Every time you run into a Rattata or one of the other Com Mons.
• Every time you face a Mook from that region's team using one of the Com Mons.
  • Take two sips if they mention how badly they are going to defeat you.
• Take a shot every time a Mook tells you that "it's hopeless to try and stop us!" or calls your character a little boy/girl.
• Take a shot every time someone mentions shorts.
• Finish your drink if the game freezes or crashes.
• If you encounter a shiny, only for it to flee or faint before you can catch it, take 2 shots. The plot-relevant Gyarados doesn't count.
• Take a shot for every reference to Something Awful and/or Internet memes.
• Take a drink if your Pokemon hurts itself in confusion (finish your drink if it KO's itself from confusion damage.)
