I'm slightly embarrassed to be a Pokemon fan

I really like what AnimalCrossingExpert has posted!! Says a lot and better than I could for sure!

But I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm 27, have Pokemon, AC, all the typically "childish" games (In inverted commas to highlight how ridiculous I think that description is) and don't care too much for the CODs, GTAs and Battlefields out there. I'll play those if I feel like it but not fangirl over them like the midnight release people. That's reserved for the Pokemons and Laytons and ACs lol. It's not what most people consider normal or whatever but it's their loss and doesn't affect who I am as a person or how I do my job so let them think what they want, they're wasting their time obsessing over and talking about it, not me!

But at the end of the day we all have different interests and all like different things. It's like opinions, everyone has them and not everyone agrees, but it's not really a big deal. Disagreements happen all the time and it's how we learn, how we see things differently and most importantly how we cope that wins.

Don't be ashamed, anyone ever making fun of you for anything is the one with the problem, and you'll know who to pay no attention to in future. Don't be bashed for your opinion or for your beliefs and hobbies, stand up for yourself and who you are and you'll always come out as the better person as long as you're not nasty or putting someone else down in the process. But tbh standing up for yourself doesn't need to involve any nastiness as you're simply saying "this is me and who I am, take it or leave it". Then even if someoe leaves it (so to speak), you'll have gained respect even if they never admit it. Jealousy.

So yeah, lots to read, but I've been bullied and on the receiving end of the "You're not cool" blah blah blah rubbish and so have a stronger view than most and I will stand up for myself (who else will if not me?) so you can like me or not, I'm not bowing down and taking it anymore. At the same time, I always like to help and still try to be . No names, no bullying, facts and nothing more. Then you can never be accused of being horrible! They won't like it, but outsiders see no bullying from you and you win.

OK, I'mma shut up now, byeee!
 
You don't really have to be embarrassed. I don't really have a choice though, because my family hates gaming, lol.
 
I'm in my 20s and love Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and anime, anime figures, cute things, etc. Some people think it's a childish hobby but some people (many older than me) think it's cool and interesting. I would rather buy a new game console and games or anime figures than one designer purse. That's just my interest! My friends love games of all types and my fiance is supportive of me no matter what I like so that's all that matters to me!

After all, my mom is in her 60s and still loves making and collecting dolls and teddy bears. It's been her hobby for her entire life and no one gives her a hard time about it being childish or silly. It's just what she likes and enjoys.

If you enjoy it then just keep doing what you love and don't worry about people being mean or critical.
