Do you all tell your friends about your love of Pokémon...or is it a deep dark secret that nobody knows?

For me a couple of my friends know from my OLD school. And only one person knows at my new school. I'm very tight lipped.

I tell only my best friends. :33 People I just talk to occasionaly don't know about my love of Pokemon. ^^; But the people I see like everyday - of course they know. ^_~

I told a select group of friends... but now we've all moved on. In other words, none of my current IRL friends know.

Heh...I'd tell everyone around me çause I don't care WHAT they say! They'll especially want to know how I feel about them when if I ever sell my cards, I'll be owning over $1500 worth of bills sitting pretty in my big fat wallet! Plus, everyone I know figured out that I love pokemon as well as a bunch of complete strangers!

Heh..... I'm lucky to have some friends that like or respect my likings, such as pokémon. Anyways, I'm not that open to go and say "I love pokémon!" to everybody, but I don't hide it either. I just don't see a reason to maintain your likings closed to everyone... I don't care if I get bashed or despised because of it. Those that reject are the stupid ones....>>

Most of my friends enjoy playing the games as well as I do, infact, none of my friends have bashed me for liking pokemon as most of them also like it to some degree

Most of the school knows... because I accidentally revealed it, but everyone accepts it, luckily I'm in good shape, so if any teaser comes up I make sure he never does it again, they even nick me "Sargento Pokemon", I am one of the few lucky

Only some of my friends know. No one else knows (i think).

Only two of my friends know. One likes it as well (though not nearly as much) and the other saw my fics on ff.net after I reviewed her Harry Potter stuff, but she never said anything to me about it.

My friends know and the word seemingly spread through the scool, I'm in the popular croud, so no one has got to me for that, they even seeem to be getting used to it

For some odd reason, college people (at least at my college) seem to not care about what I like. I usually don't mention it, they usually notice my doodles of pokemon. I always end up absentmindedly doodling and give myself away. >_< My friends that I still talk to from High School found out and still poke fun at me. However, they got used to it a long while back.

Like Digital Phoenix, my only friend that knew isn't even really my friend anymore XD

Well...another one of my friends went up to my room and probably saw my Colosseum poster and my pokemon mousepad...and....probably my TCG as well 0o;; He didn't mention it though.

And before some of my friends came over I forgot to clean my room and had a BUNCH of pokemon stuff out...and...one of the guys noticed, but he didn't mention it to my at school or anything 0-0;; I was pretty lucky =D

It was funny when I typed it.

my friends know I love Pokemon but theres only one person who would tell almost everybody in the school I was/did/or on something and then she'd just tell everyone she knows then I get humiliated by my best friend! Even if somebody was taunting me to spill the secret out like a paparazzi or a reporter who offered me 1.5 million dollars, I'd still won't gve in.

I only tell my closest friends, and make them swear not to tell anyone. Why? If anyone I don't like at my school found out I liked Pokemon, they'd tell anyone and everyone they could get to.

At my school, Pokemon is considered 'gay', which I find extremely stupid. So...yeah, not many people know of my love for Pokemon.

The subject title is very controversial, I'm boggled why a Mod hasn't changed it yet.

As for the topic, yes, a few people know I like Pokemon. They just strug it off though.

Agreed...I thought that when I first saw it, but then again innuendos make up the backbone of society in my opinion...

lol. It's not bad =P I'm refering to the love of pokemon though, not to the same sex. It's only innuendo if you have your mind in the gutter ^-~

Everyone I know knows I like Pokémon, and I have no ****ing reason to hide that~
If someone gives me a reason of why to hide it, that person gets a prize.

Heh, my annoying friend knows I like Pokemon. He used to constantly make fun of me about liking it but I found a way to make fun of him and his favourite shows XD! He no longer makes fun of my liking for Pokemon anymore for the fear of me bashing his favourite shows XP

As for the rest of my schoolmates, they don't care at all ^_^

Only a few people know that I like Pokémon. Conversely, I know a few other people who like it as well. Nobody really makes a big deal out of it either way.

Almost all my friends know my DevArt account, which is full of Gardevoir, Mawile etc, but they don't seem to notice they are Pokemon (since they only know first-gen). It's wierd... they sort of know but they don't.

One of my best friends know, we both like it. xD My other friends, I never really bother to tell since they don't really like it.

Hmm... my friends in real life see my avatars of May on MSN... they just think I like the character... so they don't actually realize I watch the show.

Though a few people in my class still watch it. ^^

Only about 3 poeple know I like Pokemon, the rest of the people at my school don't know.

I havn't came out of the closet.

Some of my friends know I like pokemon but I didn't really tell them.

Like one time in animation class I was trying to make a 3-D model of Gengar and one of my friends asked me and I just siad yes.

I let my friends find out if I like pokemon. I don't realy want to tell them. But I don't care they know. Let them poke fun at me because I like the mon. I will still love my Charizard.

I'm just afraid of getting teased 0o;; Low self esteem? XD

I dunno why. I could probably deal with it if people found out, but I'd rather not =/

I used to hide it and them some of the boys in my class found out o_O They just said "Oh." So, now everybody knows but nobody really cares that much, suprisingly. I say suprisingly because they all used to think Pokemon is for kids.
...the thing is, that started the Pokemon comeback in our school. But only GBA-wise, though. I'm kinda influency IRL so..it's really like what your mother would say. "Well, if she told you to jump out of a window, would you?" They jumped <3

I get the "I don't want them to know, I'll get poked at" thingy. That's what I thought and than the whole theory kicked me in the head x_x In a very gentle, reassuring way, of course.

i dont tell anyone unless they ask because all my friends were/are into pokemon
also i can whoop on them if they laugh about it

Being someone of m age, it would be very hard to do to admit to what I like playing. My best friends know, and a couple of people at work. But in the place I am, admitting to loving POkemon would be social suicide.

For a while after moving I was quiet about it, nya. Most people consider it "gay" at my school (though I fail to see the connection between Pokémon and homosexuality. o_o;), nya. But after 5th grade, I figured, "Heck, who cares?" XD. So I do keep a little quiet about it, but if someone asks, I'll tell them the truth with pride, nya. :3 I'm like that with all my obsessions. **Hugs them**
