Mocked for your love of Pokémon?

[YoshiRiRu]

Well sweeties, I go to a ghetto school, and I was never mocked for my love of Pokémon. I remember I brang a GameBoy Color, and Pokémon Yellow, took them out and started playing it in front of everybody in class. The reactions I got were: "Hey look! Jeremy is playing Pokémon!" "Say, Pokémon went hard back in the day." "I be playing Pokémon back in the day." Ect. I guess there wasn't any mockery because they must have grew up in the Pokéra, sweeties. =p </lamepun>
XD

The same thing with me. I recently started playing the actual games again, and everyone's like "Pokemon, man thats so oldschool." All my friends know it, and basically anyone who ever played secretly still likes it. I don't hide it, but I know some d00dz who still 'mon and try to keep it low. I think it's stupid to hide it - I support my fandom 100% :D

Some of the laugh, som doesn't....mwhy can't people just respect us!

 

[The Fallen]

Um, no. I don't actually love pokemon, I like to play the games and watch the show sometimes. Most of my friends play the games when they are bored too, so it's not a big deal.

 

[Sakura Sandhu]

Yeah I get mocked...but personally I couldnt give a ****....I'm 21 ans like pokemon...so what...If I respect that other people have their interests...then they could respect that I have mine. and If they dont they meet my not so cheery side >3

 

[Toothache]

I just find it funny now that some people don't like Pokemon. I'm so used to it.

Heh, I brought my GBA into work cos I was bored, and on a break I whipped it out and started playing.

"Whatcha playing?"

"Pokemon"

"Heh, you coulda lied about it."

I'm not fussed though. I kind of take the same mentality as Akidatheart, have me a battle or two and we'll see if it's a kids game or not.

 

[~Ozy~]

Eh, not since middle school. Back then, yeah, it was a social popular/unpopular issue, but since high school, folk have mellowed out about it and tend not to care.

 

[Muse]

Mocked? Understatement. Big one.

At my elementary school, we went to war about it. (Mini-war, mind you!) Seriously, I could tell rather interesting stories about the whole ordeal. But I'm going to keep it at the short version so I don't warp your mind or something like that.

-Kid moves in with Pokemon cards
-Shiny cards draw in a small group of 'outsiders'
-Unofficial Pokemon Club is formed.
-Jerkizoids (Yes, that's what we called the mocking people. We were young and silly) declare war against Pokemon Club, deeming us geeks that must be eliminated.
-Pokemon Club > Jerkizoids for five long years. Xp

 

[Haruka]

None of my friends know, so I was never mocked because I like Pokemon...

Pokemon is not actually a childish game like because it requires strategy.

 

[Chiru]

Everyone that I hang out with knows I like Pokemon. They're cool with it, as long as I'm not majorly obsessive over it. They all agree that Pokemon owns Yu-Gi-Oh, and that you're never too old to play Pokemon XD.

I don't really scream that I like Pokemon from the tops of buildings, so it doesn't really get out much that I like it. When someone finds out, I usually get the typical "Blah blah that automatically makes you a loser blah blah I'm a redneck blah blah", but I don't let it bother me much. It's just a game that I like to play - not a representation of my social rank.

 

[Yugioh is b3tt3r]

Mocked?!!? OMG, NEVER! All My friends LOOOOVE It!!!

 

[~Alakazam~]

My friends are cool with the video games (GBA) and that's all I like, so I never get teased for it. I actually draw out closet pokemaniacs in my school.

 

[DR.MUNCHLAX]

Many people where I live know about my love of Pokemon and I am teased all the time, but it dosn't matter to me as long as I have Pokemon I will always remain happy ^_^

 

[mew_rocks]

Well at my old school my best friend liked it, and all the girls in my class thought it was cute that I liked it. (HELL YEAH!) Most people just laughed and said pikachu in a weird voice but it wasnt exactly a pay out. Now at my new school I dont think i'd reveal that I like it so meh I dont care I guess. Except one friend I had that was 2 years above me. He hated pokemon so I never metioned it around him though he did pay me out occasionally.

 

[Ati]

Has anyone else been mocked/ridculed by their freinds/peirs for their love of Pokémon? I know I have :p I had a Pikachu Plushe in my bag (don't askl why)
and someone found it. I havent heard the end of it since ¬_¬

I have my Latias everytime in my bag and doesnt matter for me if someone saw or will see it...:\

 

[Neosplash]

Me too...

When my friend, who will remain unamed (CoughPAULcough), looked over my shoulder at the computer I was at, he said "you like Pooky man" and now he won't leave me alone about it. He pokes me and says "hey look, I'm a Poky man!" =S

Don't ask me why he does that... I don't get it either.

 

[AAMLrox]

My friends think I'm crazy for still liking pokemon (they think it is for kids -_-) but they don't tease me about it...anymore...but they used to called me a 'pokedope' which wasn't very funny -_- The thing is though, they all used to love pokemon too.

I haven't told them about me liking Beyblade yet (eek!) I actually borrowed Pokemon movies 1&2 of off my friend and my other friend found me some Pikachu emoticons for Msn Messenger. ^_^

Some poeple find it funny though, I just give them evil looks ¬_¬
I think it is stupid when people tease me about it because obviously they have nothing better to do than wonder about what I do in my spare time -_-

Wow...and he thinks you're immature for liking pokemon?
No offense to him, but I think acting like that is more immature than liking pokemon. -_-
I think most people who tease other people are immature though. The mature people would leave you alone about it because it's none of their business. ^^

You have Pikachu emotions?? you are awsome...I want marill ones :3

 

[Astinus]

When I was in high school...yeah. There was one kid who wouldn't leave me alone...until I threw a burrito at his head!

Now I can wear my shirts and wander around with my plushies in peace. The students at my college don't care; and the people at my place of work just think it's cute! They smile at my childish acts.

 

[Cheeky Typhlosion]

My close friends don't care (they actually like Pokemon as well), but my other friends I don't tell em bout it. I just dont wanna find out wot their reaction will be.
