Ok, so all of my friends have grown out of Pokemon. So I try to keep the fact that I still like it a secret. So whenever I have a friend over, I kick my Pokemon stuff under my bed or sumwhere. Then, someone finds out and tells everyone, and your stuck with the reputation of Pokemon geek. Yes... this topic came out of personal experiences... joy for me!

But has this or something like it ever happened to you?

No! Because all my friends are Pokemon fans. I either got them interested, or they just came that way. n.n() I have nothing to hide from them, really.

Yes and No. Some of my friends love Pokemon like me and some of them don't. Every time one of my friends, that is not into Pokemon over comes over I hide all my Pokemon stuff. But I LOVE POKEMON and no one can change that!!

Doesn't matter to me. My friends respect me. None of them likes pokemon except Daniel but they never make fun of me. I mean, pokemon's not the only thing i like, just the best thing!
When you look up in the sky at night, you see stars. One of them might be Jirachi. Either that or a normal star. You can never be too sure.
When you are in Ilex forest, look for Celebi. It's really easy to spot Celebi. The hard part is to find Ilex forest on Earth! You'll never find me! HAHAHAHAHA! How'd you get here?

Um, yes. But I don't hide my things. You should be proud and have pride in pokemon. I know I do.

Honestly you shouldn't have to keep what you like to watch a secret, if your friends found out and tease you about it then they're not your real friends, real friends would respect the fact you watch it.

Personally I have gone through something similar at school but not with pokmon as I was lucky enough to get into that when I left school at 16, but it's terrible how people will just tease other people just cos they like something different than what they're into...everyone should just respect what other people like that's why if I ever meet someone new I try to show them I'm a complete pokemon/anime nut first off to get it over with and see their reaction....most of the time, people couldn't care less and get used to it but all the people I meet tend to be my age anyway ^_^;;

Most of the friends that I've made in my school's drama club love anime and manga so I have no problem talking about it with them. I don't really tell them I like Pokemon, though, lol. Although, there is this one boy I talked to that said he liked to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! a lot...that's more than good enough for me...^_^ However, the friends I've known since middle school and such would think of me as "the freak that likes all that Japanese animation stuff"; so I don't bother even mentioning anime, or better yet Pokemon, to them since I'm stuck in their clique. I know they'd probably keep up a friendship with me but it wouldn't be the same...>_< Either way, I don't really care because I have you guys at PC! Yay, lol.

i have a lot of friends that like anime... but not pokmon. they think it's stupid and don't even consider it anime. but in school pokmon doesn't ever come up and there are plenty of other things to talk about.

as for hiding my stuff, i don't. no one really comes over my house anymore anyways so i don't have a need to hide anything. not that i care that they see my stuff or anything. honestly i don't care whether or not my friends know that i still like pokmon. they don't only cause it never comes up.

I keep my liking Pokmon an absolute secret. I don't watch the show when someone might see me, I don't allow people to see me on Pokmon websites, I mean, really only my brother knows I still like Pokmon, and he hasn't even seen me watching the show anymore, just playing the ROM.

I like pokemon and i don't have to keep it a secret. My friend likes yu-gi-oh and it's mostly the girls who tease him. None of the boys. So the reason the girls don't tease me is becuase a friend that's a girl of mine also likes pokemon and she's really popular so yay! :P

Well this is an interesting topic for me since I have no friends here...I have some friends in Japan and on the Internet, but ever since I started liking pocket monsters i lost all my American friends... haha maybe its NOT a coincidence?!?!?

:cheeky:

I remember long ago in high school when I would draw satoshi or something my "friends" would laugh at me and if i started singing some song (like one of the really annoying ones like natsuyasumi fanklub) they would walk away. haha theyre so lame ;D i think watching pocket monsters is definetly a sign of coolness. ;)

Around here, the usual stereotypes have been strengthened quite a bit by some unknown force before I came. Pokemaniacs are supposed to be eight or nine. I'm thirteen, but around here, that's considered a great, big difference. I'm already an outcast, though, so it just might be that it couldn't get any worse.

I agree with you on the fact hat you shouldn't tease people because they like something. Hey I hate classical ,music, and my best friend's into it and I don't say anything bad about it to her...(Just an exsample don't mind me XD)

My geography teacher calls pokemon pokyman...He says there are poky men, and poky women, LOL. He thinks pokemon is for little kids, but he doen't even know that I like it. I'm always called his "best and brightest student, Haley Wall." Darnnit...I just said my name...I he say my notebook (my notebook is flooding with pokemon pictures), I'd be the laughing-stock of the school. At the first day of 6th grade, I had a pokemon back pack that was really neat. The "not neat" part about it is that every time I passed an 8th or 7th grader, they'd comment and say, "Look! The ickle 6th grader still likes pokemon!" or "Ooh...Pokemon: how popular..." I didn't take the backpack off, bravely, but unfortunately, a gigantuan hole ripped in it...I would of worn it the rest of my life, but...
*snort* I still have it in the closet!
<_<
>_>
Anyways, in 5th grade, I seem to be telling an autobiography of myself, this kid litterally came up to Clappyseel and I and commented, "You still like pokemon?"
"Yes..."
"I thought that was old, and people started liking Yu-Gi-Oh, and DragonballZ and stuff."
I like neither, so don't kill me.
Phew...so, uh...don't let the people get you down! Be proud that your a fan! Everyone on this site is brave for liking pokemon still!

Some people at my school know that I like Pokemon, and I don't care. None of my friends act like they like Pokemon (except for one who doesn't go to my school), but when I start playing Ruby or Sapphire on my GBASP, they want to play it badly. :P

Yaaay free thinkers! ^_^ :P I'm in seventh grade now but when I was in 5th grade people would tease me about liking pokemon, like one time, some kid in my class said 'Hey Lindsey! Are you a pokemon master???" I just looked away, but he started telling his friends that I said yes and....ooh I didn't do anything about it, but it's always made me sooo mad... I mean, he was the most pokemon obsessed boy in class back in 3rd grade. Gosh, how could someone be sooo fickle?! Rar! *bites evil kid's head off* I switched schools because of stuff like that...recently I saw him in the bus line, and kicked him in the shins for being such a jerk a couple years ago ^_^ I didn't tell him why though, so I feel fine about it ^_^ It was nothing compared to all the times he tortured me before.... He and his friends took turns stepping on my head just because I liked pokemon!!! ._.;;

Bleh..I don't care what anyone else thinks.My whole household knows about Pokemon,my mom knows just a few of them like Pikachu and Charmander.She even sells Pokemon videos on ebay,so I know my family doesn't care if I still like it.But I guess if I still went to school (i'm now homeschooled,nyah),people would probably tease me,but their opinions couldn't do anything to me.In truth,I never had anything at school really Pokemon-ish,but in elementary,people knew I drew pokemon all the time.So..hehe,in short..WHO CARES what others think!It's what you think that matters to you. :D
