Yup! I knew loads of people who had an extensive Pokemon knowledge. We even did pretend sort of games, such as being Pokemon or academies. It was really fun. We'd also make jokes from time to time or discuss aspects of the series. Eventually we all just went our separate ways to different groups, but I still talk to them today. Just not about the gotta catch em all series. None of my current friends actually know anything outside of Pikachu though, which I find hilarious. XD

I enjoy talking to adults, teens and kids about it at work i get away with it more because we sell collectibles but nothing Pokemon related however we do stock the official Pokemon Magazine which i buy but i should just borrow it off the shelf and read it out the back it's aimed at kids so the text content is rather light. We also sell another magazine called Pocket Monsters which covers more then just Pokemon too. The general trend i find is that a lot of people are closed mind on the subject of Pokemon and most people think it's nothing more then a child's craze not suitable for teens let alone adults but few crazes last well past a decade Pokemon isn't a craze if you ask me it's a hobby :)

Growing up I had no friends who were interested in Pokémon, yet I still talked about it a lot and they probably really didn't care but tolerated me anyway. Then in high school I became close friends with people who liked Pokémon so we'd battle each other and discuss Pokémon and whatnot. That was great.

A shop that i liked relocated and now they have way more rspace to play card games, warhammer and other games this is good news for me because i can turn up and play others who are into the game turns out they have various ages there so i won't be hanging out with a bunch of kids xD

in the early days of my history with Pokemon i knew 2 or 3 people that i could talk Pokemon with, but since i have started high school i have met a few upper graders who still follow the stuff. its always fun debating about Pokemon, the idea of mega evos split the lunch table in half XD. sadly, where literally 1% of our school we kinda stick out a bit :P

I've always known at least one person in the form of my brother, but that rapidly expanded after middle school as people became more nostalgic about the games and less inhibited by peer pressure about whether or not they still liked it. Now I know probably a good 7 or 8 people I regularly communicate with that play, and I got a coworker into it as well because of how simple and fun the games can be.

I spent around 7-8 hours today playing the card game with the only friend i know who collects and plays the card game but sadly for him right his collections is a little out of deck and i won 9-0 we both used 6 decks and used 3 of them twice his luck sure did suck but my newer cards didn't help his cause but it was fun to play for so long :)

I actually do have a few friends who are still somewhat still interested in Pokemon and even want to get X&Y themselves, and others who at least appreciate mild references I make at times. I don't talk much about Pokemon with them (hence why I'm in PC really) but we do have a few discussions now and then.

I live in a college dorm, and there are a handful of people here that bought 2DSes just to get X or Y. My roommate knocks on my door at least eight times a day asking me to hang out and play pokemon, and some of my best friends I've met through Pokemon. All things considered I guess I do know a few people that play.

I have a friend who adores pokemon, her first game was diamond but unfortunately her brother stole the game and deleted her save file. Plus she really wanted X and Y but she doesn't have a 3ds or a 2ds to play it on. I'm trying to get here some of the ds titles though.

None of my friends were ever into Pokémon so I just kept my obsession to myself. Then I met my boyfriend and he noticed all my cards and said how he liked it too. The only reason we are together is that he knew the answer to 'what Pokémon is number 123?' straight away. I knew then that he was a keeper :P
He buys cards for me now plays the games alongside me as well as watches the anime and helps me out when I'm trying to hunt for more memorabilia to collect. It's nice having someone IRL I can actually share my Pokémon obsession with and not have to hide it ^^
*For those who think it really is the only reason, it's not, it's a running joke between us now...*

I mostly enjoy Pokemon alone, which is why I decided to come on here. I'm sick of it. :P Haha.

Although I did force my friend who's not into Pokemon (or video games at all, for that matter), to start a game on Soul Silver once. It was pretty funny while it lasted...

I don't know any pokemon fans in real life, at least not current up to date ones. I have a couple "suspicions" but nothing I'd take a chance on.

My best friend isn't a gamer (he's more into music) but I can talk to him about anything, he's by far the least judgemental person I know.

It's interesting how the vast majority of members on this site appear to be 20+

At least ten of my friends in my bus know pokemon. But they are simply not as addicted as me. Other than that I do have a cousin who used to play pokemon when he was 10 or something and he eventually started hating it at the age of 20.

I have a few friends who like/liked Pokemon, and since they're in my core group of friends no-one else really have the need to mock us.

None of them have X actually, or a 3DS, but one of them knows a lot and so basically helps me along the way. =P

There is actually a Pokemon Society here at my University, which is fairly popular, but I decided not to join as I was seen as a weird geek at school and wanted to reinvent myself. =P
