        1. First of all sir/ma’am, everyone is entitled by their own opinion.
          I understand if you don’t like 1D or their music, but if you can’t understand other people’s opinions, then that is just selfish.
          One direction has saved many young girls’ lives by only singing and giving them hope, and what do you do? Your just insulting their heroes.

      1. i was talking to the anonomous guy that says ” who gives a fuck ” if u didnt wana see this then dont go to this site <_<

      1. He appeared advertising the 3DS.

        It pains me this news,

        Worst news articles on this site of all time.

        1) Justin Bieber advertising 3DS

        2) This news on One Direction

  1. Those choices are pretty cliche. It’s like saying Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are their favorite Disney characters.

  2. What the fuck is one direction? o.0 and does anyone actually care?? Why do these companies keep getting the wrong poster people?? does sales really increase when you put people like justin Bieber or These guys in an advert… I kinda doubt it

    1. what is with everyone and hating one direction??????? I dislike anyone who hates one direction i like the people who love one direction

      now what do you have against them they didnt do anything to any of you so shut up

      1. You shut up! You obviously can’t take opinions, as you are an unintelligent 12 year old who like many of your kind, have been brainwashed by the s*** that is One Direction. By the way, One Direction sucks.

    1. Ha, the thing is I get lots of searches on the site for ‘One Direction’. Strange, I know. It would seem there are quite a few One Direction fans out there on My Nintendo News.

      1. Except most of the replies are “who is One Direction?”. This doesn’t really qualify as news. They’re an obscure European band that hardly anyone knows of. Just seems like you’re stretching for news right now. I know you want to keep a good flow of news coming which I greatly respect but sometimes stuff doesn’t really need posted.

          1. I try and cater to everyone who reads the blog. If certain people don’t like what I post then they don’t have to read it. I don’t just cater to the ‘hardcore’ Nintendo fans. As I say I have lots of searches (which I see from the back-end of the site) for One Direction.

            1. Still, I hate it when any X factor related news hit’s any website, this is X factor related news because it’s One Direction.

              I promise you lots of people who follow this blog will hate.

  3. I doubt they actually like Pokemon. Nintendo just knows that if One Direction pretend to like Pokemon and promote it all of their 10 year old fan girls will be like “Well, if they like Pokemon then so do I! And then pester their parents to buy them a 3DS and pokemon games just so they can say they like Pokemon just like One Direction do. The same thing happened in one of Justin Bieber’s videos where you see a 3DS on store shelves breifly.
    I would say it pisses me off, but it doesn’t really. It’s just Nintendo using a clever tactic to get more sales. If stupid, prepubecent fangirls of a boyband are going to buy consoles and software without any actual like for video games and just because they saw their favourite band holding one then they deserve to get treated like a sheep for being a dumb idiot in the first place.

    1. that is sooo true but one thing is one direction makes great songs that few people like and people judge them before they know them. the members are Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall. they are really nice and lov their fans they are british and i think they are cute but thats not the point the point is dont judge someone before you know them im just saying…….. I AM A ONE DIRECTION FAN………… and I AM PROUD TO BE ONE!!!!! so just takes my words and hold them carefully……….

      1. thank you for standing up for them! I am a big time directioner and I hate to see people judging them and calling them “gay” when they don’t even know anything about them.

  4. Who even cares about one Direction, they came famous from Junkfactor.

    We don’t care sickr why did you post this :(

    1. you suck and your rude and hate ful nobody likes you…………………………………………………………………….. BYE……..

      1. Says the 10 year old 1D fangirl who has half a brain cell. By the way, I’m not impressed with your grammar.

      1. I think it’s “bow down”, because of the context of the sentence. The full sentence is “All will bow down before my favourite Pokemon: Heracross.” as oppossed to saying “Everyone bows down before my favourite pokemon: Heracorss.”

        My second favourite is Blaziken. He jut looks so bad ass. He kicks a lot of ass too.

        1. No, it isn’t.
          Example: *walks away*
          I know that you say:
          I walk
          He walks
          etc..

          But when talking about yourself in the 3rd person, this is correct. Besides, even if it wasn’t correct (which it is), why would you bother about that xD?!

          1. You’re the one bothering about it. The full sentence is, “All (as in everyone) will bow dow down before my favourite Pokemon: Heracross!”

            If I was talking to a person, I would say “You know, everyone bows down …..” But because I was making a statement about my Heracross and not the act of what people will do when they see him, It is correct to say “All will bow down….”

            1. No, at first I simply tried to state that I think that’s a nice choice.
              And what’s so hard about getting what talking about yourself in the 3rd person is? Seiously…

                  1. Dragonite kicks ass. A very unique and rare Pokemon for a long time before they decided to expand the draon class.

                    Would be interseting to see who would win between Heracross and Dragonite. I’m voting Heracross :P

    1. * bows* a great and noble pokemon such as this deserves a respect greater than all others!!!………………. I am a worshiper of Heracross ……..

      1. you are boring almost everyone likes one direction will you all JUST SHUTUP i hate when people do this judge BLAH BLAH BLAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH BOOHOO!!!! thats all ya’ll do on this sight what is with you

  5. Ever since I went on this website a long time ago, this is now 2nd on my worst news list, just after Justin Bieber advertising 3DS.

  6. I bet they never played Pokemon.

    Even people who don’t play pokemon know who Pikachu, Charazard and Blastoise.

    Why pick the 3 most popular pokemon?

    Thats one out of many reasons that One Direction is boring.

      1. Ooh big words.. “I hate you” you going to run of screaming and crying now?
        Btw mew, lucario and dragonite FTW!

  7. I can’t believe this is news Sickr, seriously you know they are boring it’s obvious… they picked the 3 best known pokemon and even me who does not play pokemon knows those.

  8. Planets and stars float above me...

  9. If you got all the One Direction fans in a room, you would probably find 99.9% of them fell for the Apple Pokemon App scam this week…

    Not that im suggesting that all One Direction fans are thick, gay or retarded.

    0.01% of them might be normal….

  10. Yeah, I hate these boy bands, but why are people saying the choices are generic and stupid? Even though I don’t play Pokemon anymore, my favorite is Charizard. I liked him since I was very young, not because he was popular, but because he was the coolest one imo. I guess you guys are gonna bash me now for having a generic choice.

    1. @ Mike S

      I wouldnt bash you for liking Charizard or any other Pokemon…

      But if anybody played a One Direction CD outside my house, i would probably punch them in the face.

    2. I’m not going to bash you, but I think the reason we’re all saying that 1D’s choices were generic is because of the fact that they were obviously PAID to do this ad and that they probably watched one minute of the anime. Also, Charizard is pretty cool, but it was given a lot of show time along with Pikachu in the anime. I personally like Lapras, but I guess I’m alone on that..

  11. Have you noticed that the guy in the orange top (second from left) looks like hes whacking-off to that Pokemon?

    Or is it just my corrupt mind working again?

  12. Oh, stereotypical. Oh well, at least the general “popular girl” public could get to try out Pokemon more?

    And to the dude somewhere up there who said they picked the ones everyone knows…Wrong, I know someone who doesn’t know those. XD But she prolly does now…1D fan, after all…

  13. Three things:

    1) What’s a “One Direction”?
    2) Why didn’t any of them pick Mewtwo?
    3) What’s up with that guy on the far-right wearing what looks to me like a pair of slippers?

    1. One direction is the band name, there some british band that failed x-factor uk and became famous… i hate them and my friends love them… why -_-

  14. Had to do a little research when I saw this.
    Apparently the one known as Harry hadn’t even heard of Pokemon until the others introduced it to him.
    (and by the others, I really mean the people who want to use One Direction to advertise.)

    But about their choices.
    Really?
    Pikachu?
    Those are probably the only three Pokemon they’ve ever heard of.
    And even if they did really like Pokemon, I’d find it highly unlikely all five of them would agree on three Pokemon from the first Gen.
    Shit, there’s over 600 Pokemon now.

    But hey, at least they’re trying, I guess.
    Let’s hope the One Direction they’re going is the South.

  16. Just goes to show you how useless the generations coming are. Head over heels for pretty faces with NO TALENT. Scream, cry and pass out as they’re entering a building. YAWN. Get a life. Go on tweens have your little sook about my “judgment” have a little cry. Maybe it will make you feel better. But just remember your wasting your breath crying to me cause I don’t care! HAHAHAHAH!! Btw here’s a tissue!
    Mew

  17. I love one direction (don’t give a fuck if you don’t like them its your opinion) glad to see them taking a really big interest in video gaming :) I always draw their favourite pokemon (harry’s is sawk, liam’s is throh, zayn and niall love all of the pokemon and louis loves pansear)

  18. what is wrong with these people they are like terrible and ther are making pokemon look bad

    1.keldeo
    2.arcanine
    3.dragonite
    4.glaceon
    5.blaziken

      1. @StupidOneDirectionAnonymousFangirl I’m going to tell you that your grammar is incorrect and that I highly disagree with your opinion. By the way, please go back to Preschool, it’s nap time.
