Thread: What do your parents/siblings think about Pokemon?

My parents really dont think anything about it. They know I play it so they respect that.

My sister probably loves it more then I do.

My parents hate it, especially my Dad. They don't really care that I still like it, though.
My little brother likes it to. He's grown out of the anime, but still loves the games.

My younger sister loves it just as much as I do. I got her hooked onto it. :3

My parents are pretty much indifferent. They think Pokemon's cute and all, but sometimes I wonder if they think it's weird that their 17-year-old daughter loves Pokemon as much as she does.

My parents let me do my own thing in the entertainment department. :P Hell, my dad used to buy me TCG boosters for a while a few years back. I may direct my teen angst towards them for other reasons, but they don't try to get in my way of being an individual.

My younger sister... whoo boy. When she was younger she was into it, but now not so much. She despises it. So I throw it in her face every single opportunity I can get. :3 Often results in her screaming and leaving the room like a small child. It's awesome.

...I would absolutely flip out if someone did that to me. ZOMG. XD

Haha, I'm at an age where my parents don't really have any direct impact on my day to day life (college life ) They do mock me about it though, but more in a playful way than anything else. My dad was just as into it as I was back durring gen 1, but he kind of lost interest now.

my sister is somewhat into it, my brothers like it but not as much as me, and my dad doesn't care. My mom considered herself a "Poke-Mom" once upon a time but I don't talk about Pokemon around her anymore. She'll give me the obsession lecture again.

little sister: WOOO POKEMON YAY hey kasey what move should i put on this eevee? and do you want a clone of my friend's event shaymin i swear it's legit!

dad: oh yeah? well it's cute :B what are we talking about again?

i've been hooked on pokemon since i was three years old or so, i think around four for my sister. i remember playing silver like there was no tomorrow while she played yellow, haha.

when we go on walks with our dog, we always have long discussions about pokemon. especially hgss right now, for obvious reasons ;p

My dog doesn't want to listen... EDIT: OH, you talk with your FAMILY MEMBERS while walking the dog. I was just rambling to my dog =D

You're weird.

Anyway,

Little Sister: YYYYEEEEEAH! POKEEMON!
Dad: Eh, okay... I'm getting a headache now.
Mom: Whatever.

My mom doesn't say anything, but I can tell she respects me less for playing it. I tried to explain that I do competitive battling which requires strategy and dedication, but I really didn't get much more then a "that's nice dear."

My sister is indifferent. I got her playing Sapphire at one point, but she gave it up after a pretty short time. Who could blame her anyway, Sapphire isn't exactly the greatest game ever made.

My mom just sees me playing the games and a few other people know that too. No one knows I'm into it as much as I am, but the previously mentioned people don't really care.

I used to hide it all, but now I don't really give a fuck if anyone knows.

My mom loves the games as much as I do. We always trade together to get complete dexes (well, as much as we can without the unavailable events anyway), and we even make Poffins together! We're both getting HGSS when it comes out so we can play it. XD We live in different states now, so wi-fi is a blessing.

My sister just accepts it. She neither dislikes or likes it. She played Blue with me when we were kids, but it wasn't her style, I suppose. I guess I have a uh, special family!

Sister: Pokemon is shit and for babies.
Dad: LOL THAT ONE LOOKS HILARIOUS
Mom: wat

But a ton of my irl friends actually play too now, so of course my sister is changing her views to fit in. >:|

Okay, I tried this on my mother today to see if she was still somewhat into it.

Me: Pikachu
Mom: Yeah, Pikachu. What's your point
Me: Togepi
Mom: Um... the egg?
Me: Torchic
Mom: What's that?
Me: Piplup
Mom: Austin, stop making up pokemon.

Sister - I don't play those types of games.
Dad - Doesn't get it. (He's 54)
Mom - I'm more into puzzle games.
Stepdad - I don't really play video games.

My sisters still like the games, but hey, they're still kids. I kinda enjoy it, and am waiting patiently for HGSS to come out...

My parents seem to think I'm obsessed.
