I’m 15 & 1/2 and when i was like 4-5 I got a game boy and pokemon silver for my birthday or Christmas I don’t really remember. Any ways I would play constantly and as soon as I could I would get the new pokemon games and I was into collecting pokemon cards. On my first pokemon game I had a lot of high lvls and my cousin reset my game and we didn’t talk for like a month I was 5. And in every game since I would always get like 200+ hours. When I was in elementary school I had friends who liked it but my middle school I expected most people to have grown out of it so I keep my obsession a secrete. I would watch pokemon on Saturday mornings and I watched all the pokemon movies up to rise of darkrai. Around the time the sino region season started I stoped watching but in the game i got 200 hours I collected every single last rare pokemon from all the regions and I have like 20 100 lvls and a whole box with Lvl 70’s which I breeded. The cards were the first to I stoped caring about actually a long time now my oldest is from 2004, then I watching the anime i almost stoped in hoen. And I finally gave up the games but now that I want to sell my cards I started watching booster box openings and I see all the awesome holos and reverse holos and It’s drawing me back in. I don’t want to though I have always had a lot of friends and make them easily and from all different social classes but I always wanted to play pokemon games instead so infill middle school my social skills suck. Now there good I’m ok I know everything people talk about so I’m not lost and I fit in perfectly but as it is stereotyped gamers are fat and I was I’m skinny now but because of that I never built my self confidence or self esteem not to mention I was always arguing with my dad. So now I resent pokemon because it did this to me but it’s drawing me back in.
SORRY THIS IS LONG


You need to admit you like Pokemon. I know a 17 year old who LOVES, and I mean LOVES it. I also love it. I even joined a Pokemon Club that meets every Sunday at my local library. Tell people you like it, and hopefully you’ll find friends that like it, and then you’ll have a giant circle of friends that like Pokemon. Don’t stop doing things you love because you’re afraid people will make fun of you.
(I read your question pretty fast, so if my answer doesn’t really match what you’re asking, sorry about that. xD)
