Do your friends know you play Pokemon?

No one knows I play except for my family. And I would like to keep it that way. People at my school always make jokes about playing Pokemon, and if they found out I played, I don't know what would happen. My close friends wouldn't care, but other friends would, and other people.
 
All my friends and family like Pokemon.And no one has maked fun of me....But since im going to Junior High School maybe people will start making fun of me if I tell someone,and goes to say to the entire class >_>
 
Why would people quit spanish club because their leader plays pokemon, they aren't even related, unless of course you start to bring in imported pokemon goods into spanish club...

If they started doing it in German club maybe I would get the slightest bit interested in the language beyond needing an A in it.....

THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!

But no, I wouldn't do that. They would quit, because it would go how that blue and red conversation went, only I studder a little so I wouldn't be able to say all that stuff.

You and me both... But don't look at it that way. Stuttering is a sign of intelligence. Your brain computes the words faster than your mouth can keep up. Other than the fact that everyone looks at you funny when you talk, it's actually a g-g-good th-th-thing.:D
 
Yep. I brag about it - even though I am still not that good at it, my kids both rock at the game. Their friends know too. Why wouldn't they?

Look, being cool is not being what everyone else is. Being cool is being who you are. If everyone is wearing the in thing and doing the in stuff, they are by definition no different from everyone else and that makes them common and ordinary and nothing special.

If you are different, you are by definition unique. You are beyond ordinary and you are irreplaceable.

Listen, in chess you have a grid 8 squares by 8 squares and you are limited to only 6 unique characters that you must play and you only get 16 of them. In Pokemon you have about 500 characters, plus energy, trainers, supporters, tools and machines and you have to pick 60 that work well together as a team. You have to do math. You have to plan strategies several moves ahead using math. You have to be brilliant.

I've been around a long time and I have found that the in crowd kids might have been all that in school, but in the long run they ended up being the employees of the kids that played games like Pokemon.

Don't ever be embarrassed by who you are and what you do as long as it is legal, ethical and moral - it is right, and so are you.

You play Pokemon. Be proud. You rock.

Well said, you should be an inspirational speaker :p.
 
They aren't really your friends if they can't accept who you are...

Yeah, it might be a little embarrassing, but people only make fun of you becuase they want to see you react. It's ammusing to them, but without a reactions there's no fun. It's like giving them the option of a movie over a boring book. Lend them nothing but action packed movies and they'll keep returning for more; lend them a boring book about seashells and they'll never come back. If they still continue bothering you, then they're probably just jerks. They most likely have issues and feel the need for attention. lol.

It took me a while to find this out, but once one I stopped caring... so did everybody else. Now new people finding out isn't a problem. They don't even bother saying anything and move on to something else ;)
 
Why would someone quit a club because the leader plays Pokemon. My boss plays Dungeons and Dragons. Nobody quits their job because their boss is a complete nerd.
 
All of my friends know that I play Pokemon. At first, only a couple of my friends played it. Now most of my friends play it :).

Don't nock it till you try it. D&D can be fun when done right..... Not that I am saying I am not a complete nerd because I definitely am.
 
Umm, everyone in my grade knows, and they would laugh, but I keep telling them I've made over $6000 from playing Pokemon so it's all good =P
 
They are people at my schools who play pokemon openly. I don't look like I play pokemon or hang out with the people who do.My best friend just thinks I dabble with it. The only reason Im not goin public is because the people that are open about it get made fun of all the time it bugs me but I go to a Country style school so this is what I have to live with....
 
No one at work knows it, but it doesn't come up in conversation. There's a small group of us outside of work (fiancee, myself, 4 good friends) who know how to play and have gotten back into it, so it's always easy to organise a skill sharpening match, but a few of them are more into the collecting side of it (much like myself, to be honest).
 
I've been a little shy about my Pokemon playing. I only tell people I trust, but I've found that a lot of people don't care. Some of them even like it themselves. I guess I should say that the nice people I tell, the meanies I don't.
