I was just reading a thread I found interesting and decided to make my own. I'd like to post more on here anyway, I'm still fairly new =]
I've been a Pokemon fan for a long, long time. I'm 21 years old and in no way am I ashamed to say I still watch and play Pokemon. I might not be as seriously into it as some people (I don't go to events, I play VBA cause I don't have a DS, I don't EV train, etc.) Anyway..
I remember when Pokemon was HUGE a couple years back. Everyone liked it, and if you didn't, you probably never played or watched it. About when I was in high school Pokemon dwindled away. I still played my games but no one ever talked about it. If Pokemon was brought up it was only about how lame and childish it was. I pretty much kept my Pokemon habit to myself for the next couple of years. No one knew I still liked it. And then a couple months ago I was letting a friend of mine use my computer..
While I was watching TV I heard my friend laughing. When I came over he was going through my internet favorites and pulling up the Pokemon sites I had. He'd also found my games and episodes. I tried to play it off (not possible for me) but he was like dude..I still play Pokemon too. I was like huh? You make fun of it all the time! Turns out more than half of my friends ended up getting back into Pokemon haha. They've since fallen of the bandwagon again but hey, I still love Pokemon. No one should be feel embarrassed for what they enjoy.
I'm sure a thread like this has been around before, but what's your IRL Pokemon story?
