Here In Israel, it never really caught on, most players are kids, and I have to take the one-hour drive to Tel-Aviv just to buy the games (alot of thing too actually, Jerusalem is undergoing a process for retardasation).
 
...sort of? I mean I don't know very many people who play, but TCG cards seem to sell well, as well as the video games.
 
I live in an Adirondack summer tourist trap, er, town, meaning that it's only really active in the summertime (though we do get the ski crowds during the winter, but that's substantially less regardless, like compared to Gore Mountain). This area, along with being a tourist trap, has mostly older folk here, the younger people are only summer residents. I'm a year-round resident, so it can get pretty quiet around here during the colder months. There are very few kids/teens even during the school year, and the area is largely spaced out, meaning its 10 miles at least to the next town. Only once did I notice another player within range of me, and that was, again, during the summer, and I just happened to be playing while going for a drive with the family. Meaning it was just a random passerby that I just managed to notice by chance. But other than that, finding ANYONE with a 3DS AND a Pokemon game is rarer than finding a long out-of-print DVD that isn't $100+. So, yeah, it's pretty nonexistent here.
 
Here in Murica there's the hipster fans (who know pikachu and that's it) and the real fans. All together there's quite a few of us
 
There's a few, but mainly fans of the older games. I love all the games, and there's a few of us who love them all.
 
Here in the Philippines, Pokemon are just another game. In my list, I think, Pokemon Games are rank 4th overall(No. 1 is Heroes of Newearth). But most of Pokemon players were discouraged since most event are not being organized here considering Japan are just 3hours away from us(by plane of course).

Also, US is our main distributor here in the Philippines, therefore, events in the US is also being participated here, but not all the times.

We also have our own version of VGC but that is not really officially acknowledged by Pokemon Company, both US and Japan. But we're not losing our hope.
 
A bunch of my friends are into the TCG, but only a few actually own the video games sadly. Most of the TCG fans didn't even know what Zygarde was until I showed it to them :p
 
If there are many fans where I live, they aren't too vocal about it. I know one or two people in my school who seem to be fans, but otherwise, it's not a big thing anymore.
 
Pokemon has been pretty popular everywhere I've lived (I've moved about the country a fair amount but really only in the south).
Currently, here it's pretty popular (I live in a certain city in the South East (may be South West but the official divisions say my city's in the South East). Certainly a fair amount of people at my college play Pokemon and I sometimes see kids carrying around Pokemon plushies.
 
Pretty Popular, but not till the top. The online games here are more dominant than console offline games
 
Kinda sorta popular around here...well, not at HOME home, but at school. Considering I live in the boonies in the hills of south-east Ohio. There are some that ironically like it (ie. wearing pikachu shirts, but not much else, I'm tempted to get a haunter shirt myself for HABIT reasons but that's it for poke wear) and a good couple that actually play the games in their free time when they aren't busy with school work.
 
As far as I'm concerned, there aren't too many people around where I live (Northern Delaware, US) that are into it, barring my friends. I have yet to meet more than my lab partner here at my college who likes it, let alone anyone even wearing any sort of paraphernalia. But to be honest, I think there are a lot of closet pokemon lovers around here who are just afraid to admit it.
 
I feel uncomfortable when I have to tell other people in what country I live, so I won't tell it if that's ok ^^'

Well, here most pokemon players are 16-22 years old, but most of us keep it in secret. Basically because children and adults always laugh if they see you with a Nintendo console. They say is it so childish and blah blah, and you will get bad reputation if you play in public.
So, we live in the risk :'p
 
I can't say I know many Pokemon fans here, though outside of myself people were basically secret about it. I saw a few people suddenly go on about Pokemon and other stuff on Social Media after finishing schooling. I suppose the bullying is an aspect.
