Does anyone still give you shit for playing Pokemon even though you're an adult? Stories welcome.

It's the 21st century.

Adults can get away with liking "childish" things. No one cares anymore.

You DO realize, that you are the only one over the age of 16 here on /vp/, right?
You surely dont want to imply, that any grown-up would actually still play these children games.

I dont usually openly tell people my lust for pokemon, but when it does come out, i usually gotta defend myself when they question why by explaining the amount of depth the game has, how meta is a totally different experiance

It actually depends on my location, believe it or not. I used to live in a small town in North Carolina, and whenever I go over there I still get shit for mentioning it. In larger cities, I can freely share this information without any worry of being judged.

Basically, don't talk about it if you live in Hickville.

Don't go out of your way to talk about pokemon in polite company. COD is much more suitable and likely to succeed amongst the masses.

People sometimes give me shit, but then again, my salary's still higher than theirs. I remember that and then I smile.

COD is beginning to lose popularity little by little though. I'd argue that games like Battlefield or Gears of War are more likely to succeed as of this year.

I would've reacted the same as yourself around two years ago. Now that I'm more socially confident, I probably would've retorted if nowadays if it happened to me.

If your peers still have the time and energy to give a shit about that then you aren't an adult yet.

The only ones who bug me about it is my nostalgiafag sister who never actually played the games outside of the few times I lended her my crystal version and a friend who's a genwunner.

Other than that, people just don't give a fuck, and that's fine.

I only get shit from my parents, but about videogames in general. It's their "to blame" object for everything that happens

Not anymore, for the most part. A few family members would bring it up to try to embarrass me around other people but it never worked. I always ignored them but they kept on and on everytime I saw them to where I finally ignored them completely when I saw them at family events. They stopped after that. My stepdad started because of a fight we had last year. I completely ignore him yet he still does it even though no one cares when he mentions it. I have to go to the library or starbucks when I want to trade with someone over WiFi or to get online for that matter, and I'll occasionally hear some idiot whisper as loud as they can to their friends " Look he's playing Pokemon. Pokemon is so stupid ". Only a handful have ever tried to come up and start shit with me.

I've been lucky the few times I've played my DS in public that nobody's been rude to me. My dad still teases me now but I don't care.

>Actually agree with him, but don't say anything

>Still play it regardless, no one in my family gives a shit about anything I play, and anyone in public probably thinks it's some kind of newfangled computer

I dunno, I think I got off pretty easy.
