You see kids of all ages like pokemon, and some don't and find it childish, so have you ever been teased by someone for being a pokefan..?

around my area kids are not that interested in pokemon and rather prefer watching DBZ and other idiotic things and tease me for being a pokemon fan because i'm 17 :\

i'll relate it just being plain pokemon fan, so do people around you tease you for being a pokefan..?

I have gotten it from a few friends/ a few people at school when I played my DS afer my finals. I was playing Diamond last year and people were cracking some jokes about it. I was a little embarrassed at first but I really don't care.I really like it, so it doesn't bother me. I have quite the majority of my friends still into it as well which helps.

I got a few sarcastic remarks that they said were serious, so I generally ignored them after that.

Everyone who knows me tease me because of it, but I know they're just playing in the end. :P Some of them actually are proud of me for telling them of my secret. That shows trust and honesty.

I know am going off-topic but what about other animes..?

Some anime fans barely look beyond DBZ; which is an anime full of dumb muscular people ; for pete's sake Krylin could've killed freezer! Solar Flare(freezer blinds out) + Destructo Disk = Freezer Salad (same thing that happened to Freezer wid his own destructo disks) Those guys would've save like 30 episodes if Krylin used his bald stupid head!

Atleast Pokemon is better than that ^ crap.

[ P.S : no offense to people who like DBZ, just my opinion. )

Why can't we pick all three?

People tease me, but I don't give a damn. Then I have my friends who like Pokemon too.
This.

Though I have ONLY one friend who's into Pokemon.

In our place, many adore Pokemon... We even have groups! We share Pokemon Experiences, watch movies and episodes, and Battle with our DS!

If somebody teases us, we just laugh and share what Pokemon is... After some days, they become a Pokemon Fan, too! :)

Life without Pokemon... Is Boring!

And Lame, too! ;)

I got laughed at in middle school, as I was really the only one who still liked it.

Nowadays though I can bring my Gameboy over to a friend's house and hear things like "OH MAN! Is that Pokemon Blue? I loved that game!" Of course, they're still not really into it, but they can appreciate it as something that used to make them happy, and that's good enough for me. :3

mmm... I sort of keep it a secret. I never said anything about it and nobody knows i'm into it. The only reason is that everyone at my school that plays it is a big nerd... except for me of course (jock)

People know I like it and they pretend to like it in a mocking way. I absolutely hate that.

Also, this one time a kid got his cellphone taken away so he brought a GBA and LeafGreen to school instead. Needless to say, it was a laugh fest, although he knew that Pokémon was dorky and he did it just to mock others who like it.

I've been a fan for years and when i was in School I got teased. But in college, no one cares. I actually have friends who come to me for advice. But for the people who think its nerdy, I dont give a ****.

I never really kept it a secret but dont talk about it cuz I know nobody around here is still into it. I really dont care cuz its not like thats all I do. I still go to parties, dates..etc. When some one does find out I simply say "Yea I like pokemon so what" that usually end it. Plus is someone does try to say something im probably gunna end beatin some ass ; )

I agree with you buddy, kids don't like Pokemon anymore here, they watch DBZ or Jonas Brothers instead ¬¬
And I'm often teased 'cause I like Pokemon and I'm turning 19 this year.
And I always say: Would be worse if I'm stealing and using cocaine, right?

Anyway, I usually don't give a damn about what people think, I like Pokemon and that's all that matters.

You speak the truth my friend, well said! :)

I am turning 18 in September, I have a few friends that are interested and all my friends who aren't still know I like it and some rag on me for it. But I personally couldn't give a damn.

I watch the show, I like it, it interests me thats all I care about. And the games always keep me entertained. It is for all ages and can really test anyones thinking because Pokemon takes a lot of strategy in so many different situations.

Actually, a lot of people play it where I live. Now, not the anime, but the game everyone mostly plays for a little. Heck a lot people here also battle competitively, so I guess I am lucky...? =P
