I know, I.m guessing ther may be 1 or 2 kids at my school who play, but I am pretty sure they are noobs.

I will try with my life to not let my secret get out :F

People these days are just VERY narrow-minded.

Dudeman1993: For me, Pokemon still doesn't keep me out of major trouble(I'm not talking crimes or anything :F)
Yeah, Pokemon doesn't really keep you out of minor trouble, but it usuallly ocuppies you so you don't turn to something like violence or smoking.
^Exactly, I have never done a single crime in my life, I haven't even been grounded.
hmm odd, i think alot of us here can say weve been grounded once, coming home from somewhere late, doing something i cant remember
But ya for most of us what would we rather spend $3.99 on. A pack of cigerretes or a pack of pokemon cards

ME votes cigarettes....
No, just kidding. I would pick the cards. The cards won't end up killing me...
I mostly keep it a secret from my friends except some that i find out play pokemon and also my best friends because i know they wouldn't go telling everyone i play pokemon to make me embarrested and also i told my parents so for christmas or my birthday i can at least get one thing pokemonish
I really want to tell my parents! I have been hiding it for over a year and I'm just sick of it!! But then again I don't know how I would tell them, and I don't want to do something I regret. I was just at target today and I was discreatly looking at these cards and there was a little kid, maybe 5 looking at them too and I felt a little crazy looking at the same deck he was. But then I come here and know that I'm not alone
5 year old kids only look at a deck because it has a funny picture of a pokémon it has seen on TV on it, I'm pretty sure a 5-year-old can not understand the rules of the TCG.

Well maybe he was 6
I played when I was young, then I took a huge break and I got back into it about a year ago. Well theres my story
I'm telling you guys, there's no need in hiding it. People make fun of you not because you play pokemon itself, but because when they mention it it makes you feel shameful and hurt. If you openly express your liking of Pokémon and, they wont make fun of you because you won't have any hurt reaction. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If your already popular, it wont affect your status because you are already into popular stuff. If you aren't popular, then their not gonna care if you like Pokémon along with the other unpopular stuff you do. Even if you are made fun of for liking Pokémon, just grin and bear it and eventually they'll stop because it has no effect. You have to at least tell your parents. WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL YOUR PARENTS? They have no clue whats popular and whats not, they just want you to be happy. If you live far away from a league, just beg your parents or make some type of deal with them so you can go to a league where you can meet more Pokémon fans! SO STOP HIDING IT ALREADY!
I think of one of my fears of not telling anyone is this. I dont really have a best friend, I have 25 or so just good friends. So of course I'm afraid if they find out I like Pokemon they are going to think I'm a total loser and then be done with me. Boom no friends! That can't be fun! But then there not my friends in the first place. But thats just a theory, theres a kid that I'm pretty good freinds with, more recently, and I think he could keep a secret but like I said, I dont want to rush into anything and do something I will regret
I also have no Best best friend, but I used to have one. Once we got into Middle School we've had no classes together since. Anyways, I have three really good friends who are all COMPLETELY different types of people. One of them is a baseball fanatic(As am I), one is a crazy asian who would do anything(Snorted sugar once), and one is kinda a guy who likes to be really creative and always likes to invent games(Me too). If I told any of these three(Especially the third one) they would tell everybody about me playing and my Reputation would go down the drains. Well, the the Asian probably wouldn't tell, just the second I told him he'd say I was a loser and leave me. The first one would probably give me a pep talk on Pokemon and convince me to stop playing(Which sadly, I am kinda-sorta thinking of doing). I know, sad right.
I had 2 best friends once, One was a year younger then me so I didnt see him often in school, but we would always be at eachothers house on the weekend. The other one was in my grade and just went to a different middle school then me and I dont see him as much. I have freinds everywhere, my parents made me go to a private school so I have friends from public school, and friends from private school (thing is its an all boys school) lets see what I have friend wise, 2 jump out at me right now, both good friends. 1 I was in the play with and hang out alot at school with, hes cool, if I told him he would just give me a "Wow Matt, pokemon? really?" i dont think he would stop hanging out with me though, he probably wouldnt tell anyone, but im not 100 percent sure. The other is really athletic, which is good, We play soccer together. If were in a group he would do anything to make himself look cool even if it means teasing me about something. (Nothing bad of course) But then he would always be "I'm just kiddin!" We get along better when its a smaller group! If i told him I liked pokemon I'm not sure what he would say, I dont really want to test it either.
Lt. Empoleon I wouldn't quit unless you just dont like pokemon any more. I know your a big TCG person, do you have fun playing? If you dont anymore and have no real desire to burden yourself with it anymore then quit. But if you still enjoy playing and still like it then I see no reason to stop doing what makes you happy?
