>>14505891> it's not socially acceptable to play Pokemon.Even if that WERE true, what does that matter when buying the game? You're either buying it in a game store where people are more inclined to share or understand your interest, or you're buying it at a general store where literally no one aorund you gives a shit what you're doing. The cashier sees hundreds of faces each day, and today in particular, there will be dozens of faces bringing Pokemon to the counter. He or she won't remember yours. The people in line aren't going to remember you five seconds you walk away from the cash register.
When you're in a department store and you see somebody buy a fishing rod, do you think "goddamn what a fucking redneck loser, read a book?"
When you're at the grocery store and the person in front of you buys soy milk, do you think "fucking faggot crybaby vegan, we're fucking omnivores?"
If you DO think those things, do you hold it against that stranger you'll never see again for all time?
We're talking about purchasing a video game. If you're concerned about appearances you're reading way too much into this, and that suggests insecurity.
