I'm not really ashamed of it either, it's just that I don't care much for everyone in my school to know that I play Pokemon still. I know many people who play, and I talk to them about the finer aspects of the game, but I try to hide it from those who think it's childish to play it. I mean, seriously, what elementary school child is going to know anything about IV's or EV's?

I'm 16, and I have friends that accept me for who I am. So, I never am made fun of.
Everyone knows I love pokemon, and it's never been a problem for me.
I can say the same.
Even if some of my friends don't really like Pokemon anymore, they don't look down on me for liking it.

That goes for the anime, as well as the games.

I'm 20, by the way.

I'm 13 and I'm not ashamed of my Pokemon addictiveness my friends hate Pokemon except for abut 5 but I'm the one who's the Pokemon nerd at my school anyway my other friends don't care they accept me for who I am and that's all i need for example they play sports I hate sports I'd rather be doing science and stuff like that. So yeah and I've been a fan ever since I was born my family says the first teddy bear I got was a pikachu plushie doll. And my cousin back then used to dub Japanese Pokemon Episodes and he said he'd sit me on his lap and I'd clap ever since I heard the word Pokemon or even saw one.

I'm 18.. Started playing when I was nine, back in the day. Sold all my Nintendo stuff sometime around 2002 / 2003, just gotten back into it with my shiny new DS and a copy of Diamond :)

I only know about maybe three people in my peer group who play Pokemon, tops. No-one else really cares an awful lot though! I was sitting in maths this morning for example, and heard "Whats that you're playing, wow they still make Pokemon games?! I'll have to buy that :)"

I'm 16. I have all of the (official) American-released games aside from Leaf Green and Diamond, and I play about none of them. However, I just got back into Blue Version and I'm going to be training occasionally in there to up my team for the Elite Four (Blastoise, Zapdos, Magmar, Gyarados, Tauros, Machoke). I also think I'm at a reasonably good point in my Red Version (which I restarted as a result of my Charizard hitting lv. 70 and fearing that I couldn't control it)... probably halfway through Silph Co.

I don't so much play the GBA games unless it's to prepare for migration into Pearl.

I don't flaunt it, but I don't deny that I still play the games, and the people I hang out with either play it already, got back into it as a result of me reminding them about it, or don't care.

I'm nineteen. I've been off and on with Pokemon since I was 12. I started out just a regular fan. But now the nostalgia has kicked in, and I'm addicted to the remakes, I own all the versions, haha, and I've been watching the Original seasons lately. I know I'm an addict because I have the need to "catch them all". Of everything I've liked in my life, this is the one that has stuck, like cement.
Glad to be apart of this community and discuss topics with people I am in some ways a lot alike.

Well my minions, I have like Pokemon since I was like five, and I am now 13. I don't tell anyone I like Pokemon because then I would be unpopular!!!! In fact I am one of the most popular people in my school, but not for who I am. I would much rather be friends with the anime nerds then with the ones I have now. As you can guess I don't believe in the whole "You'll make more friends if you are yourself." crap. I've tried, so now my philosophy is "Do what everyone else is doing."

My Pokemon fetish has been tuned down though. I find the games to be rather monotonous and the anime, well, have you seen it? I spend my time on Pokemon role-plays.

16, my friends. 1997 is my year of beginning. 11 later, here I am.

I don't give a (insert swear word here) about what my friends say. In fact, some of them call me "Da Poké-man".

I'm 15 and it's still a part of my life. My friends don't care much. Some of them have played pokemon before or still watch the anime. To think..it all started with a yellow version, and now I'm here .^^
