    It seems to me that most of the time many people and their friends play pokemon together and were once obsessed. But it also seems that there is that one person that stops playing and soon you are left alone out of your friends. So are you keeping pokemon a secret? Or do they know? My point is that most people that don't play pokemon think it is stupid. Talk....

    Most of my friends play Pokémon too, so yes. When I was still at school, if I were to play in the building people would often say that pokemon was stupid, and that I was stupid for playing it- in so many words, at least. :3
    Why would I be ashamed because I play a video game? I'm not going to keep something as mundane as that completely secret. If people don't like the game, that's their problem, but I for one enjoy playing it, and I'm going to keep doing so.
     
    Yes, I'm 16, and I must say that about 90% of the people in my high school play the pokemon game series.
     
    I wouldn't say I keep it a secret... I had a couple friends who played Pokemon, but eventually, one of them started turning more towards the First-Person Shooters and Third-Person Shooters, while the other remained with RPGs and Pokemon. Suffice it to say, though I still have one person I could play Pokemon with, in my little group of friends, I rarely get to do so; even with the WiFi Connection.

    I could go on a full-scale rant about FPS games, but I'll spare your eyes the lengthy wall of pink text, since I can't really be bothered and it isn't really the section to be doing it, lol

    Anyway,another contributing factor to why its not that I'm keeping it a secret; no one else knows because no one else asks if I play Pokemon. I just kind of go by the idea that if they don't ask, I won't tell them because they probably don't want to know.
     
    I don't keep it a secret, no. I have two other freinds who are into it(formerly three, but he moved to new zeland), one freind who's mildly into it, one who was into it but isn't now, a couple who are just getting into it, and a couple who just aren't, and don't care that I am.
     
    Yeah, and they make fun of me, but it isn't like I care when they do. I take comfort in the thought that I am the bigger person. :D

    But honestly, most people don't really care one way or the other at my school.
     
    Only some of mine know that I play it, but it is like a secret between us because we all where pokemon fans.
    Though I am the only one out of our group that still likes it. V_V
     
    Yes I do hide it because certain people keep on telling me that it's stupid, I don't care but it's annoying. Very annoying. And to the question, yes my friends know it's just the other people that don't.
     
    Um, no? I love Pokémon a lot, but I'm not willing to lose my reputation for it. I'm in high school; kids will exploit whatever weakness you show. I'm pretty sure that playing a game designed for five year olds counts as weakness.
     
    I know my friends from uni do because in our ridiculously long lunchbreak I try and fit a few rounds in the Elite Four or Battle Tower into the time. I guess my friends from home (mainly ones from school) do - at least the ones I am still in contact with do.
     
    I moved, and for a while i kept the fact that I play pokémon quiet. Then I invited a friend round from school and he saw my DS sat there with pokémon emerald in the bottom. Had no problem with it whatsoever. Infact, all my friends started playing pokémon again because I was playing it.
    :D.
     
    Only one of my friends. I won't tell anyone because at my old school I told some kids, and they literally wouldn't stop bothering me about it. I've learned my lesson: Kids are pricks.
     
    I told my friends and they keep telling me that's it silly and stupid ><
    I don't really care cuz I think what they do it stupid xD
    but I don't hate them for that ^^ .. that's their opinion ^^
     
    Only my two best friends. And they think it's just Mystery Dungeon. They have no clue I play all the others. I remember Pokemon used to be the coolest thing in Elementary. Now it's "Ewww. Nerd! You play pokemon?"
     
    Only a few of my friends play Pokémon; however, only one of them actually knows how to do it. Still, he's always asking me which level a Pokémon evolves and where to catch it, blah, blah, blah. And then he complains that I act like a know-it-all when it comes to Pokémon. =(
     
    Only some of my friends know.. Not all do though because they think its dumb, and idiotic because they think they'res no purpose, But I begg to differ, lol, I still like to play it no matter what they say,, woot wosh lol
     
    My friends know, and actually a lot of people know I play Pokemon. They don't care, and actually, my two friends and I are doing a Pokemon themed Regatta boat this year ^^. They don't play/aren't into it, but they think it'll be fun. There really isn't that much discrimination towards those people still playing, and I know quite a few people who still play.
    In high school, it's tough cuz people are like "Ewwww nerd" and I'm like "Woooww get a life, don't diss me you butt munch" lol. And my friends stand up for me so, hey, I don't care who knows I play, but to answer the original question, yes my friends know I play.
     
    All my friends like Pokemon so yes they know I play it because I play it with them in link battles all the time. Some of my non friends in middle school know too. A couple of people have called me a Pokemon expert I'm proud of it =D.
