I am with you there only a couple of my closest friends know though.None of my current friends have played pokemon for a very long time (as far as I know) if they did I would be happy to play with them, but generally it's looked down upon so I don't tell most people. Most of my closest friends know, as well as anyone who sees my playing my DS during Pre-Calculus. :P
We have a game club at our school, one of the teachers is a serious gamer so she started it. It's every lunch, and half the people there play Pokemon and don't have to hide it because everyone else does. At least everyone in that room lol.None of my friends know that I play Pokémon. I used to play with a couple old buddies, but I haven't seen them in like forever. I was even thinking about bringing my DS to school today and playing Diamond on the bus, but I knew I people would laugh at me, so I didn't. :cer_shifty:
Uh, they do know, but they don't make a big deal of it. If people have a problem with it, it's theirs to deal with. I mean, you can't wear a shirt that says "I play pokemon" when you're 16, but if people find out, they don't seem to care.
