Today I was playing Pokemon X on the subway back home, when 2 young men sat at either side of me. They seemed to be in their early 20s, both tall and thin, one blond with blue eyes - the one on my right - and the other dark-haired with slightly brownish skin.

Suddenly, the guy on the right asked me what kind of Nintendo DS I was using.

"3DS," I said.
"Oh, but not the big one... The small one," he replied.
"Yes, the small one," I confirmed.
"Not a bad thing to have on a journey," he commented, and then said to his friend: "she's playing Pokemon, that's why."
"Yeah, I'd love to have one of those," the other guy said. "Not even that one, the regular one... With a Pokemon Yellow, I'd be satisfied."

It felt a bit weird, and I did feel a bit sorry for those guys, but it's fun when I hear strangers talk about Pokemon.

There was also a time when I told 3 school kids I had a Pokemon game and they immediately surrounded me asking me to show them how to play, and wouldn't let me go.

So... do you have any similar experiences?
