Do IRL people know you go on PC?

This is my only way of escaping irl problems so no. Also, both parties will most likely humiliate me.

A few do, but it doesn't come up much in conversation, so most don't.

I'd have no problem telling people about it though. If I knew anybody IRL who was as into Pokemon as I am, I'd actually invite them to join :)

Yeah my sister...but the topic hasn't really come up anywhere. I don't actively spread the word of my forum presence here. It's just if the topic comes up, sweet. If not, meh.

I don't think anyone really knows. My parents might have an idea? One of ym friends from high school used to come on here with me and we RP'd, but we don't talk to each other anymore. :P

Some people do, but I think it's a factoid that's easily forgotten. Like most people have said, it just really doesn't come up in conversation.

But then again, I'm not so prideful that I'd go and hide the fact that I'm here- if someone asks what I'm doing online, I'll tell them. If they ask further questions, then I'll delve a little deeper into it. More often than not, they just say "ah cool" and go about their business |D

Yeah, one of my old flatmates saw me on here a while ago. Here's how the conversation went:
Him: "Is that Pokemon?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Him: "Ok."

And it was never mentioned again.

I don't try to hide it. Most people just don't care and if they ask about it then usually conversations about it go like "Oh you're on a pokemon forum? Good for you" or "Omg that's where I get my hacks from." My parents know and most of my friends do too as well. It doesn't bother me and it's really not something to be ashamed of or anything :T

I'm sure my dad at least knows I'm on A Pokemon forum. and A Sonic forum, and Skype...

I may or may not have told my irl best friend about this place once or twice? she probably forgot though. Other than that.... I don't think anyone knows. I think I prefer it that way too ^.^

My parents know and that's it. They're really the only ones who need to so they know why I'm on the computer so much :P

I don't hide it. But I don't advertise it. But deep down I'd love to sometimes ask people I see day to day if they visit PC. But I honestly have never met anybody I know from PC in person. I sure wish I could though. But then again I am a shy person.

But I'd probably willingly meet someone if they came to visit me and I knew them well enough.

I have only told one person irl about this place cause he was interested in competitive battling as well, but I generally keep it a secret from almost everyone else, my mom once saw me playing a match but I told her that it was a video by one of my friend :| anyway I stay alone now so yh
