Back when I first got into pokemon 4 years ago in the 6th grade, I made the mistake of talking about it and I got mercilessly persecuted the entire grade...but now, people just don't care and I can talk about it and nothing happens (but I'm like the only fan in the school nowadays -.- )
I doubt your the only fan in shcool people have just learned to hide it really well, i know tons of people that like pokemon at school and try to hide it but they can't hide it from me, well i was teased about once but no one remembers it anymore, for some reason people think they have to hide it but they don't. I try to hide it but somtimes when people ask me if i like pokemon i tell them that i hate it and err i hate doing that..

Actually, come to think of it, there used to be a lot of pokemon fans at my school...the thing is in the past year they were all converted to Yu-Gi-Oh fans...well I became a YGO fan but I also retained my love for pokemon...I know two or three people who own R/S but I don't know anyone who collects the TCG or watches the Anime anymore...but I'm sure there are others like me who watch it and just hide it. I'm actually sort of open about liking pokemon, and people don't mind since I've sort of been labled a gamer at school. I would have no reason to hide it now mainly because if anyone gave me flack about it they would surely have to be incredibly ignorant to tease someone for so petty a thing...that's what fifth graders do, not sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

I'm actually not criticized for liking pokmon too much. Just today, I was talking to my friend and looking up video games on eBay, and he saw me bidding on Pokmon Colosseum and said, "so, you're one of those teenage pokmon fans I hear about all the time? It's really no surprise, you seem like that kind of guy."
My school may be very materialistic, but the students there are not very judgemental.

come to think of it, I'm a lot like Taera. I'm not necessarily the most popular person in my school, but I am pretty well-reputed among the people my grade as "that smart, artistic, funny, anim-fan, gamer kind of guy." I'm actually pretty well-respected as one of the top 100 students as far as class rank and I'm sort of a mentor to those who do not understand what is being taught in their classes, so people don't really care what my personal interests are...If I like pokmon so what?

now I know if I go around school talking about how cool the pokmon games are all day, then I'd find myself headfirst in a trashcan come dismissal time. XD

People will be people and jerks will be jerks, but thats life. If its not "cool" the mojority of the people will despise it to fit in, but really fit in with who if there all the same.
Stariotypes will always say stuff like pokemon is gay.

My mother went me to 4 psychologists and 2 psichiatrists, I think was'coz all ones at my school'n my friends laughed to me'n said somethings that I can't say'coz some words are censored... I think... I standed all time alone, being anti-social, and sometimes crying and thinking, 'coz they think this'bout all I believe??? But I'm trying to make a religion'bout pokmon and, someday, see some people following it and, then, I'll can say: I AM NORMAL! I'm sad... I am...

When I first learned about pokemon it was only me and my friends that did anything with it but we didn't hide the fact we liked pokemon because Pokemon was new and no one knew what it was. Then people started to know and find out and stuff and I think the entire school had at least one pokemon card (I was a grade 5 then and the part of the school I was in only went to grade 6). Then like almost every school in my state banned pokemon cards because they were afraid people would pay lots of money for a 'rare' card. Then pokemon died practically in my state (I'm serious). I know of four people now that have any pokemon stuff; my friend, his cousin, a guy who owned my pokemon sapphire before me (I'm cheap so I got it pre-played) and someone who he traded with. I don't collect the cards anymore but I own red, yellow, silver, crystal and sapphire for real but I have every single game in roms. I am fairly popular and could be the smartest guy in school if I wasn't a lazy bum but I don't talk about pokemon at school. I don't have any pokemon games outside of the gameboy because I like the range of games the PS2 offers.

Well, I Can Tell, I'm NOT Populair At School.. I'm Probably One Of The Most Un-Populair Kids..
isnt people knowing your name kind of a popularity? right, in that case like everyone knows my name at school, so i gueess im kind of popular? :\
anyways, even if you are popular they would still torment pople for liking pokemon...the best way is just ignore them while they talk, itll make them look like idiots... :P

There's a difference between being known and being popular...everyone's always known my name since grade school, but that's only because of the nasty rumors people would spread about me...

But if I told anyone I like to play pokemon games, I'd be disowned on the spot.. My friends wouldnt go for that and I'd have to walk amongst the other kids. :(

Actually it is true friendship, I could never accept myself, nor could they theirselves, But we all know that if someone breaks the rules then there out. And I change for the good of them and me, And We all change together.. If someone does something we all do it. We're down for one and one for all and all for one.

People always make fun of me for liking Pokemon at school. They always call me a nerd and everything.
This happened last week:

Total popular girl: Hey you retarded Pokemon fan. You finished you Ruby game yet?

Me: I'm not retarded and leave me the **** alone.

Total popular girl: Hey everyone, the pokemon nerd's here!
*everyone in cafeteria turns toward me*

Me: One day, you will pay. Until then, just leave me alone. Go off in you own little preppy and popular world. *I walk away*
I've lost my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

If you need any help with the gym leaders in R/S/E, let me know. I'm always happy to help!

I never talk about pokemon at school. No one ever seems to mention it, and if they do, i just kinda remain neutral, i don't say anything on the subject. But maybe that's because i try to avoid 95% of the people at my school.
I too... But now I'm trying to talk someone to be not the non-normal... When I said something'bout pokmon the normal ones called me the retarded... they called...

What are you all talking about??? In my school, everyone loves Pokemon!
We are friends,
Forever.
We will be trusting,
Forever.
Our world will be apart,
Never.
My, it is a beautiful night,
My shares delight.
Always will we cast the light
Of friendship alight.
Good night, my friend.
May the stars
Move us to sleep.
