    Whether its levelling up your beloved starter to Lvl. 100, maintaining a win-streak battle frontier or defeating the Elite 4, have you ever been guilty of skipping a day of school/college/[insert other location here] just to play Pokémon? Not like loads of days [unless youre geniuinely sick] but just one or two over the years?

    I'm currently recovering from back strain which has resulted in a day of bed-rest away from school but I spent two hours grinding some new Pokémon and a further three doing research on bulbapedia. Truth is, its not even that bad now :$ Im going to school tomorrow though :P

    Definetly not. My parents would've killed me if I did that.

    And thanks to my college schedule, I don't need to skip, as I have hours between classes and sometimes only a class a day.

    I've never done it before, though I've stayed up reeeeeeally late (like at 2-3 am) on a school night playing Pokemon. Heres to those sleepless nights back then. :P

    I haven't skipped class for it, but I've skipped studying and some sleep for it before. Actually, that's more or less what I'm doing right now. Latin quiz? What Latin quiz? I have Skarmory eggs to hatch! XD

    I got sick the day after I got HG, so I played it all day after I checked out. That count? lol

    I never did that before, but when I was off from school sick I did. But I was sick, so it doesn't really count I guess.

    Nah, I don't think I have. I've skipped for other reasons and happened to play Pokémon at the same time but... even back in high school I'd just bring my GBA/DS to school to play. And now in university? I played most of Pokémon Black on the public bus to/from school, and *in* some of my classes. :P

    I skip class because I'm lazy, not just to play Pokémon. Sometimes I use the time that I gained by skipping class to play Pokémon, though.

    Yes. But it was elementary when I has just gotten Silver. I've skipped plenty of other times for other reasons too. Mainly that i just don't wanna go.

    I've never skipped class. Ever. I'm a goody-two shoes.
    However I do use up valuable sleep/study time to play pokemon. :3

    I used to do that. Then I woke up SOOOO tired. But it was worth just beating Lance that 30th time, or grinding some random Golbat.

    The portability of the series has kept me from ever skipping class outright for Pokémon. Now, sneaking it in and between classes...

    I never skipped any classes just to play Pokemon. I know that academics is more important than Pokemon, so I just play the game if I have free time.

    Well, indirectly. My mom let me stay home from school because of the weather and the fact that I had no ride home.
    I seized this chance to work on my FireRed Nuzlocke Run

    Whenever I'm feeling sick, I don't go to school (obviously) and then after I go to the doctor's office I play Pokemon the rest of the day in bed. Then my neighbor (who has like 4 of the same classes as me) comes at my door and gives me my homework and makes me stop Pokemon.

    No one should be inturupt me when I'm fiddling with my Pokemonwhen I'm sick D:

    I have skipped school to play a video game before, but unfortunately, Pokémon has never been one of those.
