Your parents reaction?

[Captain Fabio]

I don't watch Pokemon anymore really, but I do play sometimes. My parents know I do and they aren't that bothered really; they just see it as another game.​

[AshKetchumFromPalletTown]

I haven't told my parents but they know because Im always watching/playing and making Youtube videos on Pokemon and there fine with it! :D

 

[Zephele]

My parents know that I play the games, but they don't mind. My mum even goes as far as to point out any sort of Pokemon-esque things in the mall when we happen to pass by a toy shop, saying stuff like, "Hey, isn't that your Pikachu-Pikachu thing?" Then again, my mum does like to baby me and my brother ._.

 

[coolcatkim22]

You know, it's funny. My parents have always known I like Pokemon. From time I started playing to the present, and they have never once told me to stop. Then again, my parents never make me feel bad for having an interest in something.

They know I still play the games, they don't mind it. They do say "It's weird" to my brother who somehow still watches the anime (I don't; it's not that I think it's childlish, just that the anime is pure torture) but honestly I don't think they really care what we're into, lol. Pokemon or otherwise.

 

[Moltres Rider]

my mom doesn't really care...

 

[北海道]

They try to make me stop because I spend a big part of my day on forums, playing the videogame, etc. but not because it's Pokemon
On their minds it's just another silly video game, like every other else

I'm 22 and my parents couldn't care less that I'm into pokemon. As long as it's not drugs or something like an unplanned pregnancy then why would they have a problem with it? It's just a hobby. :3

 

[droomph]

OH MAH GAWD My parents couldn't care less as long as I'm having a good time and not depressed. So PC helps me play Pokémon. THANKS GUIZE

Well everybody at my school wears Pikachu clothes and stuff, so I'm not really sure if they're so interested in Pokémon. To be honest I really wish they wore Grovyle paraphernalia :'(

Except for these kids kmrn who love to play Pokémon in Japanese class all the time, those people LOVE Pokémon for sure.

 

[Legobricks]

They care as much as they understand, which is to say they do neither.
I only play the games, by the way; seems quite a healthy interest to me, really.

 

[Asuf]

My parents don't know, they wouldn't really care i guess. However I have three brothers, one gives me a hard time about it, the other really coudn't care less and the last one dosen't know and I'll keep it like that lol.

 

[ThatsWhiteBro]

i dont watch pokemon anymore because i think it got kind of ruined when they added all the new pokemon. From the start to Johto was about Pokemons best. But i still watch a couple of anime One Piece, Naruto Shippuden and Prince of Tennis and my parents have seen me watching it. All they say it why do you watch it? i allways answerer because i like it and i like reading subtitles. (I usualy watch in Japanese with English subtitles).
I suppose i would say the same thing if i still watched pokemon but i dont anymore so yeah.

My dad used to laugh at Brock's eyes: he never used to open his eyes.

He would make impressions about him bumping into things...

 

[Palamon]

My parents know about Pokemon. And here's what they think about it: they hate it. Every single thing about it. Whenever I buy a game that has Pokemon on the title they say: "Of course you bought another Pokemon game!" And when I read the manga it's the same thing. As for the anime they don't care about it at all. The regular chapter books they also have no opinion on. Finally the trading card game...they get all nasty when I want to get the cards they say: "you have enough Pokemon cards!" or... "No more Pokemon cards!!" And stuff like that.

....So basically my parents hate all forms of Pokemon except the anime and books.

 

[pokemaster0823]

My parents really don't care. Heck, my dad's the one who introduced me to Pokemon when I was six. Whenever a new game comes out and I buy it, he usually says something along the lines of "You know, you've always loved those games." In almost every other aspect of my life, I've grown up really fast, so I think it just makes him happy to see that I still love Pokemon and all the other games we played together when I was little, especially with me leaving for college soon. In his mind, it's probably his reassurance that I'm still his "little girl".

My mom doesn't understand a lot about video games, so she just really doesn't care. In fact, she probably doesn't even know what Pokemon is. :p

For everyone's parents who make fun of them or don't like them playing Pokemon, I wish I could share mine with you! I feel really bad whenever I hear about people's parents disapproving of them. :(

 

[★Midnight★]

My mom doesn't care about that, she even likes me telling her about the newest games coming out.
She always does her best at encouraging me with things. She lets me be.

 

[Murdock 1869]

Great topic! My wife hates my Anime addiction but she just laughs and doesn't judge. I usually make her drive so I can play my SS for a tid bit. My parents know i'm a nerd and there cool with it. My gram still knows she usually gets me the newest versions for Christmas when there available.

 

[miju-kun]

My parents don't really mind, they even buy me Pokémon stuff even now. And my aunt gave me the Pokémon manga as a Christmas gift~ x3

 

[Zapperz]

she still thinks im cute when i love it at 17.
love ma moma!
