I know, but people foreign to pokemon would automatically assume that it's a children's game and that I am playing something childish.

This is my issue 19 and playing games I played many years ago! I can't let go of my ps2! Oh well ^.^
Sometimes it does, I only talk about stuff like that when its around people I feel comfortable with ...not people I don't know very well.......I especially feel awkward playing when Im at Uni because everyone else is studying or something and Im there playing AC..........But it's not like it's my only interest so I don't really care too much but I just rather people get to know me better before I start feeling comfortable playing around them or idk.......

idk man
It's not that I play video games, which everybody at my school does, it's the games that I play that I keep quiet about. About a month ago, I was talking about AC:NL with my friend, and this one girl overheard us and just freaked, "Oh my Gawd, you play ANIMAL CROSSING?!?" People like that keep me quiet about my obsession.
High five!
I used to be embarrased about it a lot, but not that much anymore. Saying something like Pokemon or Mario is childish is like saying Facebook, Minecraft, or COD is childish. They're all hobbies, so if you say one is childish, you're basically saying what someone likes to do in general is childish. This is what I like to call Electronical Segregation. Technology is only bad when people use it to separate their selves from each other. What annoys me are people that let popular trends dictate their life, and then when someone talks about something that person doesn't like around them, they and their friends claim its childish without even trying it. If someone has the arrogance to say something is childish then they should at least respect it and keep their opinions to their selves. A really common saying is if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all. Things like this may seem silly, but they're true. I don't think someone was joking when they said people should work together and respect each other's opinions. Sadly there are people in this world with pack mentalities that create fads and drama to try and dictate other people's lives. All you can do is let your own choices and opinions dictate your life, and definitely not change them because some arrogant snob says it's 'childish' before even trying it. And if they do try it and still think it's childish, then they should keep it in their head and change the subject so that both sides can agree on something.

i think it's ridiculous to be embarrassed of playing video games. :\ not only that, i notice that my friends and i get weird looks when we play on our 3ds on buses and the underground, but everyone else who plays on their phones, ipads, or whatever get a free pass. please!
