Second Sage of Water
All of my (possibly former) best friends have played Pokemon, are good fans of Pokemon, and have a basic idea of competitive battling, although they are not into it. Some of my other classmates play it, too.
I feel you. Several of my old Pokebuddies think I'm gay because I'm still playing Pokemon. Bear in mind that these are my rivals from only a year ago, and they consider me a homo for liking Pokemon and not CoD. Ah, hypocrisy.
If you need another friend to trade or talk to feel free to ask me, i find it hard to find people my age that play pkmn most think im weird or dont expect me to play cause i am physically activeMy brother-in-law plays Pokemon when new games come out, but usually doesn't go back to them much.
I have to rely on online friends who play Pokemon for trades and such, otherwise I just try and have two DS's and trade between my own games.

I have one friend that's into Pokémon, but he doesn't understand the more complicated concepts such as EV training or IV breeding or even natures. The one thing I hate about him is his 'My Pokémon can kick your Pokémon's a**es without breaking a sweat' attitude he always has.
