Chloe Bennet Reveals Love for Pokemon and Why She's Not Playing Pokemon GO

The Pokémon GO craze continues to sweep the world, but one place it's not showing up right now is the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. set - or at least not in the hands of star Chloe Bennet, who plays Daisy "Quake" Johnson on the series. That's not because she doesn't want to play it, though, but rather because she's concerned about how addicted she'd get to it in short fashion.

"I can't even get into it, honestly because I've been S.H.I.E.L.D. training, and really trying to focus on the season," Bennet told Comicbook.com during an interview at San Diego Comic-Con. "Honestly, I know that if I start, I will lose my sh*t, no training will get done, I won't know any of my lines, and no one will have a show. Because I'm obsessed, I used to be obsessed with Pokémon!"

Bennet also schooled us when we made a "be the very best" comment, saying, "Ash is the very best. No one is better than Ash." However, her loyalties lie elsewhere. "I had the biggest crush on Brock when I was a kid. I've seen every episode of Pokémon."

Her first ever card? A "Ninetales," or more specifically, a "holographic Ninetales." Unfortunately, her brother, Steve stole it. "Steve, I remember this," she said, hamming it up for the camera.

The actress said she does hear there are a lot of the adorable monsters to catch on the S.H.I.E.L.D. lot, and joked that if she'd started playing, she wouldn't have shown up for interviews. Maybe during the next hiatus, Ms. Bennet.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns to ABC this September in a new, later timeslot.
