Now at my school, olny the 12th and 11th grade Know I play pokemon. So all my friends (freshmen) are gonna find out that I play pokemon. And there was this one kid that 5 other people made fun of for like ever. For playing pokemon. So I'm afriad that this is gonna happen to me. Any good come backs I can say to them when they call me *** for playing *** pokemon?

Phazon Elite · 10/27/2007, 11:17 PM

Well, are you kinda tall and/or threatening-looking?

Adam Garcia · 10/28/2007, 05:16 AM

does it really matter?They will nag you about it a couple of times=/.

homeofmew · 10/28/2007, 07:03 AM

I play pokemon and I am a 22 female and no one makes fun of me :0

*bullados* · 10/28/2007, 07:27 AM

Middle school is the worst for this kind of thing. HS is better, cuz there are more ppl and less time. Still, it's FAR worse than college or life. It's kool to be open, really kool. Just ignore the idiots who might want to mock you cuz of it.

moza · 10/28/2007, 08:05 AM

IT'S A FREAKIN NEWS PAPER. WHO THE **** READS THOSE NOWADAYS?!?!?!?!

Unless your "friends" read newspapers, you don't have anything to worry about :x

Shadow Zangoose · 10/28/2007, 10:19 AM

Just give me their names and addresses. You won't have to worry about it. *shifty eyes*

Sure why not >_>

Gengar · 10/28/2007, 02:06 PM

just quit the game

cloud9 · 10/28/2007, 02:10 PM

I'm sticking with moza. Dont be afraid, your friends wouldn't read the newspaper anyway ;)

Charizardian · 10/28/2007, 02:36 PM

Your afraid of 5 people making fun of you? Out of hundreds?

ZAKtheGeek · 10/28/2007, 03:15 PM

Point out that they play it over at Penny Arcade. Problem eradicated.

There always that "Oh yeah well I get trips/scholarships/etc." post. It's nice to know that Pokemon is only socially acceptable if you're good at it.

Zapditto · 10/28/2007, 03:47 PM

I'm in college now but also played when I was in HS. I openly told people about it. In fact, most people think its really neat. Then again, I was popular so nothing really mattered. I sell Pokemon and everyone would always be jealous of the amount of money I made from it. I think I only ran into one person who thought it was weird. After telling them that I bought my new fully loaded BMW with a sound system worth more than their whole car with money from Pokemon they quickly became interested and asked how they can do it lol. Girls thought it was cute too. Or maybe its just that I'm so cute that it doesn't matter.

moza · 10/28/2007, 03:49 PM

A NEWSPAPER?!?!?! SERIOUSLY...

Just say that you won worlds a few times. They won't look it up :P

CyberManectric · 10/28/2007, 11:04 PM

Here's a real life story for you. I was afraid of everyone finding out I play pokemon when I was in HS. Then thanks to my gf the whole school eventually knew. Suprisingly, a ton of people thought it was cool that I played pokemon and that I was a league leader. Just goes to show you that you never know. Things won't turn out as bad as you imagine.
The whole school thinking it's cool > a few people making fun of it.

Just don't point out that Mike showed up at a prerelease and got his 6 packs. Decided he didn't like what he pulled and didn't want to play, so he and 2 of his friends left.

Worked out well, we didn't give them their extra packs and got to give them away as door prizes.

**Regis_Neo** · 10/29/2007, 12:08 AM

For some reason, I highly doubt Freshmen read the newspaper.

Mew* · 10/29/2007, 03:14 AM

I someone picks on you for playing Pokemon, just ask them why they enjoy reading the newspaper so much. That will stop them dead in their tracks. ;)

Or you could say the classic, "It wasn't me..."
