I've never thought I'd see that much people saying that they are easily accepted in their community as Pokemon players.
I must say people tend to be very judging, but I couldn't really give less of a damn, if someone gives me a remark I usually give a witty trashy response to put him back where he belongs >:) or maybe just ignore him...
I could only wish for an understanding society, not just for Pokemon, but for every other arguable thing in life...
