A lot of people are sticking up for their beliefs in Pokémon, and I don't see anyone saying "Because you tell everybody you like Pokémon, you're a loser!" etc. It's stayed very clean.

Well, I guess I am reading between the lines and I am just seeing what I want to see I guess. BUt it just seems that there is an underlying hint of shame coming from some, but that may jsut be me.

Dizzy September 16th, 2003 3:13 PM

I am ashamed of liking pokemon sometimes.
Like i said the game is a different Story.
Its not like anyone worships pokemon like gods , that would be just unhealthy

then that means the US must be doing a lot better in terms of manner... if you dare to say that in a Canadian high school... i'll pick you up from the hospital after school then. If you didn't end up in the hospital, then you can live your life in isolation until they forget that you like Pokemon... that's how sad things are. If there's no group projection, i won't mind but right now i'll still have to rely on these "lovely" classmates of mine to get a good mark.

and Dizzy if what you described really is the case, then tell them that you like Pokemon. I'm sure they won't leave you.

Kairi September 16th, 2003 3:35 PM

I wear my Mew pin on my shirt all the time...maybe I said that already, but yeah. I want people to know I like it and flaunt it in public when possible. People don't dislike me for it, I'm talented etc. so they have to respect me. However, they don't mind it either.

Dizzy September 16th, 2003 5:33 PM

I want to tell them , but maybe i shouldnt , maybe when im a senior .....

Timbjerr September 16th, 2003 5:54 PM

stangely at my school, all pokéfans have this aura around them that only other pokéfans detect...maybe it's in the way they walk or in the way they talk, or it could be the fact that almost all of them have a Pikachu keychain hooked onto their backpack zipper...(not me, mine is a Golbat...lol ^.^)

I think that most kids at my school are indifferent towards pokémon, no one is judgemental. I even overheard two of my friends talking about the pokémon anime in the art room (if I wasn't so preoccupied with my own artwork, I would've gone over and talked with them...)

Dizzy September 16th, 2003 5:56 PM

its something when i draw pokemon because my friends think they are mythical beasts , unless i draw like pikachu or sumthin , i really dont wanna tell them

Frostweaver September 16th, 2003 11:58 PM

maybe Dizzy you can test them out kind of thing... draw a Pikachu (obvious "pokemon" figure) and see what they say. If they act positively against it, then good for you. Tell them you like Pokemon now and nothing bad will go on.

If they act negatively against it, you can always defend yourself by saying it's just a drawing nothing wrong with it kind of thing. Or say that you're drawing this for a little cousin or something... just find alternative methods to test out what they feel about Pokemon first then.

G-LANCE September 17th, 2003 12:04 AM

iv always luved pkmn. even though i recently joined (well not really but look at my post count, not bad eh?) iv probably liked pkmn as long as any of u. i remember my firsts, first pkmn card, first fav, blah blah blah...
anyway i think pokemon is a work of art and will probably have a legacy, like gundam and robotech. besides, "it took the world by storm", did ya hear that? STORM!

John Denver September 17th, 2003 1:32 PM

Everyone in my school likes pokemon, and some little 8th graders in the middle school make fun of me for liking pokemon when in my mind I KNOW they like pokemon as well...yes they do...

BOO ya!

No prob, hun. ^^

I hope I didn't sound mean.. O.o;;;;

Dizzy September 17th, 2003 1:53 PM

actully it sounded sincere and caring , weird huh lol , i dunno , i might have to fight them to get them to realize that i can liek wut i wanna like ^^

Greed September 17th, 2003 1:54 PM

*hugs teh Wataru avatar aka G-LANCE's avatar* Mesa luuuvs Wataru.. =^^=

Hey! That's a gweat idea, frostweaver! Dizzy, u should really try it! Who knows? Perhaps they won't be mean about it! Good going, frostweaver! (uh oh...)

*Pats Frostweaver so heard that accidentaly sends frosty on the floor* Uhhh.. oops, my bad.. ^^;; *picks up frostweaver and tidies frosty up looking apologitecaly* Right.. Umm.. sowwy about that, frosty! I just do that whenever I'm weid.. O.o;; He he.. sowwy!

*backs away ten feet*

Anyways, frosty's right. You could just defend yourself like she said so that not all hope is lost. ^^ Good going! *gets ready to pat frostweaver but backs off* Umm.. right.. the hard-pat thing, I forgot! ^.^;;;

Dizzy September 17th, 2003 1:57 PM

lol she's funny , we should make a joke thread lol !

Frostweaver September 17th, 2003 2:17 PM

first of all "he" not "she"... ahem...

secondly, that isn't the only way to "sound" them out. There are always alternatives that won't embarrass yourself if your friends don't like it but you can bring up the Pokemon topic safely.

Another way is to just talk about "oh did you know that they made a Pokemon game on graphing calculator?" go from there. If they just shrug it off and say whatever kind of thing, that means they don't hold much of a negative image for POkemon. If they starts insulting it, then you know it's not the safest thing to do then...

(btw do not play that game on the calculator... first of all calculator is a calculator not a gameboy, and second of all it's screwed up)

Dizzy September 17th, 2003 2:38 PM

silly , i was talkin about cartoon ....................

GOSH! If I was a super moderator you would lose about half your post count, you don't have to repeat everything you say over and over again.

Frostweaver September 17th, 2003 4:37 PM

no not you... it's the "she" inside cartoon's post that i'm referring to...

either way, i still think that they'll accept you dizzy even if you like Pokemon and they don't

ash_misty4ever September 17th, 2003 5:32 PM

Dizzy, if popularity is so important to u let it go because in the end u lose it all! when ur an adult u dont be cool be being popular. now i wear pokemon shirts everyday because i have pver 50 sirts... heck im wearing my pokemon ruby shirt right now!!(got it for my b-day at targetÜ) i know alot of people who love pokemon as much as i do but a little more less cause i am the ultimate pokemon trainer!!! :classic: ok anyway i am glad alot of u show that u like Pokemon and if ur TRUE friends dont like it maybe they just arent the TRUE type.


dang alls u are in high school and im in the 6th grade!!!
*dreams* hey wanna battle 3 on 3? *looks up at high schooler* AHHHHH a giant!!!!!!!! :laugh:

Greed September 18th, 2003 9:36 AM

Great thinking dude! ^^ *once again I do teh Pat of Doom, which once again, send frosty down* Whoops... O.O;;;;;;; SOWWY AGAIN! @[email protected] Someone ought to do that to me so that I can learn how poor frosty feels.. :(

*Hint: I'm now nicknaming Frostweaver frosty! Yay! If this offends u, frosty-boi, please tell me. *.*

(police pikachu arrive and take away CaRtOON, in the kickin' and screamin' thing.)

Miyu-chan September 19th, 2003 3:42 AM

Stop it Dizzy and Docter Itsy. :/ I don't want to see this turn ugly. T.T

Ahem....
I first saw the pokemon dub, and I liked it. I never really played the games until recently. (I'm playing silver and sapphire) I love the games. *_* But I don't really research them, or something... x_x; I love the kawaii little pokemon, I used to have a Polywhirl (sp?) keychain on my bookbag. XD

I can't really say that I love pokemon, I just like it. n_n But the games are addicting. *_*

G-LANCE September 19th, 2003 4:42 AM

ve..ry s..o
ve..ry addic...tive
AAAAAHHHHH
