I've loved Pokemon since I was 5, when my bro first got Pokemon Red and saw him play it for a while, I was determined to get Pokemon Bluel; I did and the game had me hooked. I'd always take it on holiday and I still do today. Taking pokemon games on holiday has become a tradition between me and my bro, along with listening to Guns and Roses too.
I don't hide it, but I don't show it either. You could say that I'm a casual pokemon fan. I'll admit that I still love playing the games, some people will agree too, but I don't go overboard with my fandom. I still like the original first season of the pokemon anime, but I don't watch it anymore nor do I play in the metagame - although this is probably because my Wi-fi refuses to co-operate with me. I can play any Pokemon game in public and not care, the games are just fun. Noone can deny that.
