What do you talk about Pokemon with coworkers?
>>58207667I don't. Why the FUCK would I reveal my power level? I don't want to be shunned.
my chad supervisor plays pokemon but only gens 1-3, he only talks about it when its just us, he has a whismur plush in his car lmao
I remember it being brought up at my old job a few years after GO came out, since our workplace was a Gym. A couple of coworkers even played the mainline games too. Good times.
>>58207667Never reveal your power level.>but-Don't.>I was going to say but I already did!It's over.
>>58208145>chad>whismurmany such cases
>>58207667I CAMEINSIDE RALTS
>>58207667Nigger we play pokemon at work
>>58207667One time at lunch, a dickish coworker saw that I was browsing the board and loudly exclaimed "So you like pokemon, eh". As I thought of how of the defend myself, another coworker saved my ass by saying that I was checking out prices for Pokemon cards to sell. Guy saved my ass
>>58207667I talk about how hot lopunny is
>>58208496Lmao what a bro
I don't. I am a closet pokemon fan
>>58207667I've told my coworkers to play Clover
We discuss how hot pokegirls are
Beartic
>>58207667Talking to coworkers outside of work shit yeah I’m good
>>58208820Unironically this, if you suck at small talk, you can always ask the typical "what's your top 10 pokegirls?"
>>58207667One of my coworkers plays the older games on Deta. Constantly shows me his team progress. Pretty cool
>>58207667No, I grew up in a time and a place where you got ridiculed or ganged up on for playing these games.I am not comfortable bringing up any of my hobbies that are now major fads in 2025.I hate it so much.Thank god for AI.More real than any person.
>>58207667I tried once then he told me that actually liked Let's go Pikachu, naturally I never touched that subject ever again.
>>58207667>cousin found out that I play S/V casually>the retard literally texts me everyday to battle himThis is why I dont talk to anyone about pokemon because that's when the turbo autism comes out if they're even remotely into the series.
Nah
>>58209035Same. I keep my hobbies to myself cause it's either normie retards who larp as if they didn't bully kids in the 90s, or turbo autists who can't shut the fuck up and think you're as into it as they are. Kinda sucks cause it would be nice to show off my yugioh collection but fuck that and then some. I'm probably the only guy around for miles that doesn't fit the stereotype of a some sweat baked sweater wearing virgin that can't talk to ppl or make eye contact with women.
This thread is full of cowards. I write pokemon fanfiction while I work as a security guard and don't even try and hide it. Anybody who has a problem with it isn't worth worrying about. I'm a full on weirdo but I'm also the most reliable coworker and employee. Nobody is going to talk shit on the guy who has always got their back, and if they do then their opinions are the opinions of a rat. AKA, irrelevant.Hiding your power level is only useful for those ashamed of what brings them happiness. I hope you can overcome the things that have made you feel that way.
>>58209127>Lol ppl's opinions matter unless they make fun of me, then they suddenly dontSpoken like a true loser. Yeah faggot I'm pretty sure you're tolerated because it's work. Go out and socialize with these ppl and then tell them about your max power autism. Bet you they won't ask to read it or even care, if anything they'll ask why a grown man is writing fan fiction if you're not an actual producer or director. Also, ppl who don't care dont need to state that they don't care. Food for thought.
>>58209139>Lol ppl's opinions matter unless they make fun of me, then they suddenly dontUnironically true. If they are making fun of me then they are an idiot. Their actions prove it. I never said I didn't care, just that they aren't worth being worried about. It would still hurt my feelings if I found out they were two facing me, but that hurt wouldn't be bad enough to preemptively concern myself with. You seem to be projecting your own insecurities here. Are you saying that people who would laugh at you have opinions worth anything?
>>58207667What do you talk about about Pokemon with coworkers?*
>>58207667I don't because they don't care for it
>>58209127>this thread is full of cowardsYeah.I just don’t feel comfortable opening up about my interests to people who are trying to work their 9 to 5, besides, nobody who’s normal would care all too much about Kalos outside of the anime
>>58209111Go battle him your cus, jerk
>>58209127Based. What kinda fics you writing anon?
I'm all about correcting people on type advantage and when assholes try to use endeavor on ghost.Because of me everyone does the collective "nope" to them.
>>58209127wattpad or ao3?
>>58207667General stuff, Go, I started a game of PTA for some of them
>>58208497Where do you work at?Are they hiring?
>>58209035I’m the exact same. Pokemon’s popularity fell off a cliff around fifth grade and I always hid my enjoyment of it to seem more normal. Still do, even as an adult.>Thank god for AI.No, thank god for the internet, so people like us can discover others with our interests and form communities.
>>58207667I don't.>>58208425I've indirectly shown my power level by wearing a Shadow the Hedgehog shirt and (unintentionally) shown someone my Canti FLCL background on my iPad.
>>58211030>(unintentionally) shown someone my Canti FLCL background on my iPadThat reminds me of the time I forgot my laptop had an MLP background, back when S2 had just ended. Pic related.
I unironically paid people to write pokemon fanfiction
>>58209307Hey, I know I am talking big but there is wisdom in knowing when to keep things to yourself. Being aware of whether others wanna hear it isn't a bad thing.>>58209444>>58210516Ao3, I post in the fanfiction thread a lot. Right now I have a Final Fantasy Pokemon story and a Paranormal Detective comedy story going. Pokemon Crystal Light and PokeNormal: Tales from the Celdaon Extranormal Detective Agency.
>>58212016I almost got paid to write pokemon vore but I am bad at delivering.
>>58210930>No, thank god for the internetMore cliques and tribalism.No.AI will save us because for the first time in human history we no longer need to appeal to any members of any tribe or clan.We will simply design our own edens and do away with the various forms of bias within the world.The chrysalis phase of our species as we adventure inwards is now.
>>58207667Simple: I don't even do it
>>58212104>do away with the various forms of biasYou think AI is unbiased?
>>58207667I dont like talking to coworkers in general if it isn't work related. I definitely dont like talking about pokemon because its always twisted into GO
