Yes, it's true. My friends are usually not like that. I'm very selective about friends and most of them are pretty serious, but yesterday was, well, strange I guess. And I just had to go with the flow or else I would seem like an alien (or at least I feared so).
Anyway, your in class IX, right? You should take your studies really seriously in these years. What stream are you in?
And how did you get into Pokemon? I've never had any friends as much interested in this as I was. Then in my early teens I kinda let it go. But then I discovered competitive battling and have hung on to Pokemon ever since. But what about you? Did you import some Pokemon games to play?
