So, just as the title asks, do people in real life know you play Pokemon? Some people like to keep it a secret because of their age, or because they think they will be picked on, or because it's not seen as the 'done thing' where they live.

I don't tell anyone I play Pokemon, mainly because of my age and because of where I live. But I'm not afraid to tell anyone the truth if they ask.

People know I play, but I wish they didn't, I get picked on because of it. I don't care though, I play anyway.

Wow! That's great! I hate it when people bully others just because they like something others don't like/understand. It's awesome that you still do what you enjoy! *high fives*

That's just about the same as me, I don't randomly burst into song and dance about it in front of everyone. Only a VERY few amount of my friends know I play.

Most of my friends know, although I don't really talk about it a lot. They probably think I'm a nerd but they don't make fun of me.

Most of my friends, or should I say all of them, know it. However, people who aren't my friend I usually don't tell unless I think they like it to.

I dont really tell people, some know I play because they have been to my house, but they are cool with it, turns out they play it to. The only other people who know wanted to play, they didnt know what it was. I wished my bro didnt know for a while, he wouldnt let me hear the end of it, until I let him play my Soul Silver, then he went and bought Black version.
But yeah, I dont tell people, but I dont hide it

One time I told a very close friend in 8th grade that I play pokemon two or three days later all my other friend knew and I didn't hear the end of it till I went to high school it sucked.

I don't (generally) actively tell people that I play any game but I never hide it. If it comes up I'll openly tell them. Most of my friends know I run PokeBay so they obviously know I'm into Pokemon :p

Well I was at lunch and a bunch of my friends were talkin' 'bout Jailbreaking their Ipod Touch and since they figured out hiw, they put Pokémon on it so now I know they like it. They were actually the last people I expected to like it.

Some friends know I do. One friend of mine will sing the song with me. And I have a couple Pokémon tracks/movies on my Ipod so they figure it out. :3

Everyone knows I play it. Or at least draw it, when I don't have my game with me. I used to be kind of shy about it, but I kind of grew to not care~ ^w^

My classmates would probably pick on me everyday I go to school if I tell them. But like my 2 friends, one friend, I told him if he knows pokemon, then he said yes, and he said why, and I said: Oh. Cause I play it. My friend says okay, I play it too.

NExt friend: I saw his profile picture in facebook is Scizor, then i told him if he plays pokemon, and he said yes. So i also said that i also plays it. Then he said about his Victini being Beast.

I neither hide or broadcast it so some people know and some don't. My mother doesn't like it though and threw out my old video's I was devastated.

My family knows and my closest friends do. I do not advertise that I have been playing pokemon for 14 years but if someone brings it up I don't hide it. My mom thinks its cool actually. She likes the shinys like I do lol especially my shiny shuppet haha she said it was adorable!

Some of my friends know. But if I told this group of friends at my school, I would be DEAD. But, still I would play anyways. I could just say I'm not playing while still playing.

I love Pokemon, but only 2 people know I play it. They don't care, but other kids in my class would use it against me. I'd be so embarrassed!

Not many people besides my friends know I play pokemon. It's not something I'd blurt out randomly but if they wanted to know I wouldn't be afraid to tell them. I mean most teens and adults still watch cartoons and all that so why wouldn't it be okay for me to play pokemon?
