Xkcd provides the perfect rhetorical technique for condescendingly dismissing anything you don't understand, "I'm sorry, I'm not that into pokemon". It implies the other person is unhealthy obsessed with wasting their mind on something bizarre and inconsequential.

I think I've seen it someone use it just once, but to devastating effect :)

However, I've discovered there is exactly one topic of conversation for which, when you become baffled, the come-back is entirely toothless: when you're friends are ACTUALLY talking about pokemon :)
