Do you still get judged for playing Pokemon?

Title.

In Elmentary it's fine, in middle school everything is lame. In senior high and college it's cool 'cause it's retro.
 
Not really because I don't let anyone know. I'm not in high school anymore and I haven't started college yet, so I don't play it in public.. I used to take my DS to school when I was still in high school and play it on the bus (since that was the only time I could play it), no one ever paid attention to me anyway. I really wouldn't have cared, people teased me enough for other things, playing Pokemon still would not have made it any worse!
 
I tell no one.

*hides bulbagarden, smogon, pokemon online, and serebii.*
 
Only one person judges me for still playing Pokémon, and goes on about how stupid it is whenever we're talking (although we hardly ever talk, and when we do it's only on Facebook). I basically just tell him he's an idiot for not liking it.
 
It's funny, really. I used to be completely in the closet about it, but after I graduated high school, I just stopped caring. I used to do things like minimizing Pokemon related windows when others walked in, hiding game cases, etc. Now I'm more or less ok with people knowing, though I am still quite selective about who I tell.
 
I don't get what's so bad about playing Pokemon. Maybe it's because it teaches good values. Not many kids in high school want to play games without an M rating for gore and explicit language.
 
Yes. That's why I defend the honor of Pokemon and it should be appreciated with great respect.
 
I get teased by some of my friends, but it isn't malicious teasing, because my friends and I tend to make fun of each other for a lot of things. Other than that, nobody really pays attention at my school.
I even have a couple of friends that play Pokemon as well.
 
Our dorm hall decided to decorate with drawings of Pokemon. I have a picture of a Cubone riding a Rapidash on my door.

So yeah, no problems here.
 
Never have been. At my Uni I hang out with a group of nerds who happen to play Pokemon and are bronies.

Life is good.
 
Nah. I don't really ever recall that being a problem, I guess I've just lucked out in living in places where it's popular.

It's pretty popular in college though. Honestly, to the people in High School or whatever that feel bullied or whatever, wait until college, tons of people are more open with it.
 
Possibly, I don't give a fuck. I'm not going to feel bad about something I enjoy.
 
Yup, apparently its retarded. This is coming from 12 year olds who play COD all the time...
 
Luckily, no, all my family know how much I love the series. They also appreciate how in-depth the games are, especially when I explain the mechanics to them.
 
When you get to college, all of the Pokémon fans come back out of the closet.

I've met more open-and-proud Pokémon fans at university than I did in elementary school during the peak of American Poké-mania.
 
My whole class secretly love Pokemon but wont admit it. :D Me and my friend are only ones I know from my school that I know that plays Pokemon. And I'm in Elementary.
