Do you still bring your Pokemon game to school with you?

Not since 5th grade. It's the kiss of death in High School, unless you are unafraid of the consequences... like the one varsity football linebacker who brought his DS and diamond, and played them in spanish class every day my sophmore year.

Moved over to Pokémon General, seeing as this doesn't actually target older generation games. o/

And yes, I bring mine with me on occasion. Since I have a free hour in the morning with no-one around, but I've stopped due to the increasing locker searches and theft during gym classes.

Yes but there is a small percentage of other popular people who also play.

Well, I'm homeschooled, but we do a co-op (basically school with just a few people), and I bring it to that. I'll only pull it out when asked, or when in the middle of a Frontier Facility. Otherwise I use my phone emulator to play crystal or yellow or something. I've gotten looks for that, some condescending, some very "Sweet, how the heck did you do that, show me how to get it!" It's kinda awesome like that.

Lots of people I know bring their GBCs to school.

I left school 4 years ago so no i don't, but back in the days of Red, Blue and Yellow, and later Gold Silver and Crystal, i always had my Game Boy with me in School, but at that time EVERYONE had a Game Boy and Pokémon with them in school, in fact it got so bad in my school that they didn't have the power to confiscate them all so instead the teachers actually set up break time tournaments for us and gave out prizes (usually just points to which of the 4 school houses you where in, but we where all very competitive about that so it was a good prize) but you where disqualified if you where caught playing in class, it was fun too i remember winning quite a few times, but when we moved up to high school most people just stopped playing Pokémon, i too stopped too but when Ruby and Sapphire came out i decided to give in and start playing again, none of my friends found out but i wouldn't have cared if they had, but now I'm in collage i would never take a DS or anything in with me (at least not to play in class) my lesions are too important to me and beside 90% are practical anyway so there would be no time to play games, but i do sometimes take it on the Bus/Train with me to play.

A few years a go I used to take my DS (Original) in, but never any Pokémon games. We'd spend lunch on Bomberman and Mario Kart in the winter or rainy days. But I left school May last year, so I guess I have to play it at home :P. Can't take it to work, I'll get the sack!

I always did in high school and people would poke fun at me but by the end of the class we'd be talking about Pokémon and they'd be watching me play, etc. XD; With my grade it was okay because even if someone made fun of you for liking Pokémon, it was a sure bet that when they were younger, they loved the series when it was a fad and then you get into all sorts of nostalgia topics. Actually in grade 12, my senior year, a friend and I basically spent all of homeroom playing Diamond and Pearl when it came out. We ended up getting most of our friends back into Pokemon (we all had a DS or a GBC or a GBA out playing) and a few other people in the school got back into it too. I've never had a problem with it. :>

I played Platinum through some of my classes last term and on my first day back at work on Monday, I was playing Platinum on my lunch break. 8)

I've been bringing Platinum to school since I got it XD; I don't play it during the school day because my school has a strict no-electronic-devices-rawr! policy. :< I play it on the bus and after school if I have club. My friend brings hers occasionally as well, so we've been working on the National Dex together. :>

Actually, I brought it today and played it while I was waiting for my ride home :'D I don't really care what people say about me playin' it (which is usually nothing anyway) since I've heard worse.

oh that jerk! emil, set it on fire.
