  • Nah, not at all. I'm guilty of geeking out whenever Pokémon games are released, for BW2 and XY's release dates, I painted my nails as Poké Balls like this lol (not my nails, but the exact same design. I sometimes flip it, though). One of the employees at GameStop freaked out and took pictures of them and everything when I picked up White 2 on the release date. It's all good fun.

    Just wanted to quote this, I have never seen nails painted like that and I think I will try it.

    Now on topic, I never hide it, I have a blastoise and a pikachu key chain that hang on both sides of my purse, I talk about it with any one that will listen.

    I don't hide it, but the fact that I'm a fan doesn't always come up.

    Though, sometimes if someone asks me what video games I play, or what I do during down time, I will literally just respond with a "Aah you know, sit at home and play Pokemon like the nerd that I am. -w-". That gets some laughs, and no one really seems to judge when it's worded in such a way. /shrugs

  • I definitely don't hide it! I play it in public and will openly talk about it with anyone willing to talk about it with me. I still casually collect the cards off and on also and I get the occasional weird look at Walmart when I'm only buying Pokemon cards, but it doesn't bother me at all.

  • It was weird, I always hid it in Highschool. It didnt stop me playing, but going to an all girls school was full of girls who cared about their appearance/boyfriend status more than their hobbies, and criticized anyone who didn't. But once I hit uni, suddenly it was cool again and I have not held back. I'm pretty much well known for loving pokemon the most out of everyone forever.

    Except my relatives. They're too wrapped up in being srs bizne$$ adultz to remember what fun is
