Do people make fun of you because you play Pokemon?

[SurfMasta]

Honestly, I accept it proud-fully, knowing that I have a kid fun life while others want to talk and play crappy stuff. But I want to hear your guys opinion.

 

[Moneyy]

No, but mostly because I don't tell anyone. I doubt they would even if I did, however.

 

[#chelloressurection]

Well, some of my friends think im nerdy, but l havent been tortured by that as much as pretty much everything else

 

[manaphy72]

yes but I really dont tell them, Reason being they call it "Gay" but let them think what they want, they're missing out on the fun adventures that we are gettin in on. and when we stop playing them, we have something to turn around and sell, while they have nothing

 

[Draceram]

Yep, I get made fun of because I'm a young adult playing Pokemon, but I just think that it's their loss.

 

[crystalzapdos]

I said I played Pokemon once in 3rd grade and that didn't end so well. I've never said anything about Pokemon since.

And this was in third grade! Before everybody in 3rd grade loved COD and Halo.

Occasionaly

 

[Randomness]

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! XD JK, JK.

Even if I do tell someone (normally I don't), they don't say anything, we just move onto another topic.

 

[hyperion33]

Many of my friends do play Pokemon, and I don't tell the ones that don't.

 

[Rey Alejandro]

it's the only thing people don't make fun of me for. lol

 

[Game Maker]

They do, but I make fun of them back by pointing out the fact that they watch My Little Pony.

 

[rocky505]

Anyone who tells me I should play Halo instead I tell them that Halo is a heck of a lot nerdier than Pokemon ever will be.

 

[manaphee]

They would if I told.
This year, I was thinking about being more open about it, because, well, I'm moving onto High School next year and it wouldn't affect me too much. /:
Until today, when the topic of Pokemon was brought up, and I heard someone say "Pokemon is for losers!"
some people laughed.
the others just didn't hear him. P:

 

[Pokemon Whisperer Natural Harmonia Gropius]

Some people do but Heck I love the game so I just try to ignore it! >_<
DEOXYS POWER FOOLS! ><

 

[Tyranitarquake]

not really, no.

 

[ashhleeyy]

Very rarely. Everyone that actually pays attention to what I post on Facebook should have noticed one of my Pokemon-related status updates by now and I've yet to get any negativity on there. My good friends all know and think it's hilarious and awesome, play with me, or genuinely don't care (my friends and I were between 6-10 when Pokemon was introduced in the U.S.; they've all been through the craze). I've gotten a few of my friends back into it, even. When I'm on the bus home from work and playing I get strangers all the damn time talking to me about it. To the point where I always wear my headphones so I can justify ignoring them.

Lolno, Halo's a mainstream game and will never be seen as nerdy except by the people on sites like this who shun fps games.

 

[Treecko's Awesomeness]

Nope. I'm completely open about it, and I get respect because I'm not afraid to admit it. A few people laughed at me a bit, but they got over it, and nobody else really cared in the first place. The kind of people who would hate you just because of your choice in video games probably aren't the people you really want to be friends with anyway.

I'm sorry but you honestly know nothing about this. Let's see. Futuristic weapons and crap like that makes a nerd go through puberty again. Being a little boy/girl going around a region with 8 gyms and beating some random gang is no where near as nerdy.

 

[MechaDrago]

Not really, I'm at college so it's sort of rolled back around to being socially acceptable. Plus, most of my friends are play it.
(I'm still pretty much the only one who plays competitively though.)
