That's what pretty much all of us face...although, I know some people that play. (Most of them are n00bs.)

I know if people found out i like pokemon they would think i was stupid or weird or need a life or all this stuff they make up but i care what people think about me. Thats not a good thing they say you should just be yourself but do you know how hard that is in this completely matieralistic world!! Thats why i have chosen to keep it a secret that no one knows but me! When i go into target to buy pokemon cards i make a quick sweep of the store make sure no one i know is there, make sure i have money on me and ready so i can get through the line quickly and then run outside to a trash can wear i can throw away the wrappers and put the cards safely in my pocket. Just be yourself. Easier said then done!!

riskbreakers said:It's weird here in the Philippines.. Most people in my school just keep on saying that pokemon is for kids.. When i told them tht i played pokemon.. Man i got a load of teasing.. But they just don't know that pokemon MIGHT look like a child's game but as one of my leaguemates told me "they just cant see the deep strategy in pokemon" And by the way.. I'm a sophomore in my school and yet i'm like the 3rd youngest member in our local league.

riskbreakers said:I'm already used to getting ROFLed in school whenever anyhting about pokemon is mentioned.. Maybe if they put something deeper in the extremely redundant anime then they wouldn't call pokemon as a "child's game".
