Today, while waiting in line at Gamestop, another customer and the cashier started chatting about how Pokémon is for kids, and anyone over 10 who's into it is weird. Embarrassed, I put the new Pokémon game back on the shelf and snuck out of the store. FML

Today, I babysat a 10-year-old and we played Pokémon. It was my first time playing, so he showed me. I ended up winning and the kid started crying and told his parents he hated me. They decided not to pay me for the night, and now I'm out of a job. FML

Today, at work, my buddy pulled up in his car. I handed him $40, and he handed me a bag. It must have looked like a drug deal, but he was actually just smuggling in the new Pokémon game for me. I'm 22, and a drug deal would probably have been less embarrassing to explain. FML

Today, I was at a gas station when the cash register made a sound effect similar to one from Sonic the Hedgehog, and I pointed this out. The cashier then saw fit to go on a rant about how I need to stop focusing on video games, and get a life and a girlfriend. FML

Today, my mom and I somehow got into a serious argument over the ethics of capturing and training Pokémon. FML

Today, I bought How To Train Your Dragon and the cashier started complaining how her kids keep demanding dragon stuff and that mine will start after they see the movie. I don't have any kids, and I didn't have the courage to tell her I was buying it for myself. FML

Today, working my job, I had to explain to a kid that Pokemon is owned by Nintendo and they don't make it for the Xbox. Upset by this, he took hold of my leg and started biting. I'm also suspended, because his mother complained when I kicked him off me. FML

Today, I tried buying a video game that was rated "M - for mature". The Cashier told me "you have to be 17 to buy this game". I didn't have any ID on me. I'm 25. FML

Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML

Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML

Today, as I walked into my class, someone shouted at me, "Wild Snorlax Appeared! Use Your Ultra Balls!", since I am overweight and everyone in class laughed at me. I got made fun of by Pokémon nerds. FML

It's not true. I'm 13 and am a girl and I love Pokemon. And who care if your weird; I'm weird, it's who I am. Don't be embarrassed and get the game.

Had a similar thing happen to me with some guys at a local indie game store. They were talking about how Legend of Zelda was for nerds. I quite kindly informed them that the card game they were playing happened to be considered even nerdier. That game? Magic the Gathering.

LoZ has gotten worse. Twilight Princess was pretty awesome though. If you like games like that, play Alice: Madness Returns. It is incredibly "M", but fun.

I'm in high school and every person in my marching band absolutely loves Pokemon. We grew up with pokemon, its something you don't grow out of.

Same here. I feel Marching Band people are a bit strange. But we have more success at our school than the football team (I'm american), so we can't be laughed at. Some other freshman was laughing because we got 5th against bands 3x our size. I promptly pointed out our soccer team got their asses kicked 12-0.

If you are over 7 and type like an idiot, you are proof that the education system failed you. Also, getting laid doesn't automatically fix all your problems. You never hear "Oh, I used to be 350 pounds, working as a janitor for company was going under and living in a rat infested house until I got laid. Now I'm 190 pounds of muscle, the CEO of a Fortune 500 company and living in a thousand room mansion.

Oh OP...sadly I know exactly how you feel. If someone makes fun of something I like I always feel embarrassed to like it, but you shouldn't. And they don't know what they're talking about! Lots of people over ten are into Pokemon.
