I live in the #1 best voted city to live in and I am embarrassed that I play. So I guess that feeling is everywhere.

My school is one of those that is based like that, and I really hate it. Just because you like something different gives no reason to be made fun of.
Right on...exactly the same in my school...
And mine.

But other then that, I hide all my pokemon stuff, and say its my brothers. What about you guys? Are any of you guys embarrassed like me?

I don't think you should. Your friends need to accept you for who you are and I'm sure they will based on expirience. I've had several friends who I befriended for reasons other than Pokemon. They found out and thought it was cool. Now you don't have to be wild about it, telling everyone because you think you have to. You just tell them if they ask or find out. You'll find a huge load is off you when you do. =D
Sometimes, I do get embarrassed, but if 10,000 members can gather on a forum to discuss Pokemon, it shouldn't be that strange, haha. :3

While this wasn't something I hide, we were asked to say something about ourselves that might make other people laugh at us or mock us. Of course, I said even though I don't hide it, people would mock me if they knew I played Pokemon. Now, here's the more interesting part. A good amount of students in the class said that they play Pokemon and are fans of it.
