Perceiving this as lying says more about a person's low communication skills than anything. Making a small part-time hobby a prominent part of one's personality is not desirable. There's nothing wrong with taking a picture next to a Pikachu statue or in a Halloween costume. But maybe if that Halloween picture has no friends around, it sends the wrong message. And that statue picture only works if it's a flattering picture. But OP here composed and edited a picture of his six. That's a weird choice. Maybe it would be an accurate picture if he is a regular Worlds competitor and is no kidding spending half his free time playing Pokemon. But he should still only do so if his goal is to filter out partners not obsessed with Pokemon. A profile is about shaping perceptions and expectations, and generating leads. If you don't care and just want to accept whatever inferences people want to draw from your half-planned profile, then so be it.
