Average age?

21, but me and my grandfather have been playing them since he got japanese Red and Green, SO many years ago. Good times.

I turn 19 tomorrow. Not sure how old I was when I began playing, but I was pretty little, Red was my first game.

I'm 19, and I got into Pokemon when I was around 5-6. I didn't get a game until the Christmas Gold and Silver came out (I picked Silver), mostly because I did not know Red and Blue existed! If I had, I probably would have begged lol.

My best friends are 20 and 24 and we all like to play and buy the new games immediately and stuff :3

I've been a fan of the TCG since I was a little kid, but I never got a chance to actually PLAY it until I got to high school almost 4 years ago now... I've been wanting to play the videogames at LEAST since FR&LG came out... that's the earliest I remember hearing of the games... then, I saw the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and wanted Blue since I had no DS at the time.

I then got Sapphire for my BDay and was promptly disappointed because I wanted MYSTERY DUNGEON BLUE. But then I got over it and kept on playing and then was hooked. Then after I got my DS, I shortly after got Pearl shortly after it was released, after much pressure from my buddies. I would spend most of the summer in the city, in coffee shops and stuff since I only had dial-up in the countryside where I lived. I was even more obsessed.

Went through 2 DSes to play this game... I even got Firered just to get a Growlithe. I got Soulsilver, and Heartgold, just for both figs, later giving away HG as I hadn't played it. Got Platinum, mostly for the fig, did play it, later gave it away. I got White shortly after it came out. Later that year, my 2nd DS broke, so I was forced to take a break for... I don't remember.

Eventually I got another DS and kinda lost my touch when I got back in... but I still ought White 2, and Conquest, and never got around to them.

Could my fandom be fading? possibly, but even at 18, I'm still exited for new games, and Pokemon will always have a place in my heart.

Aww that sounds real cosy! Wish I had such a down-to-earth grandfather.. ^_^


I am 18, have been playing since I was 6. It's amazing how the Pokémon games can be accessible to such young audiences and at the same time also offer the depth that it does. I can't picture myself ever growing out of Pokémon.

I won't tell my age but going by what every one in here has posted I'm the oldest of all of you, I have been into pokemon for about 12 years now.

I've been playing since I was about 4. Im turning 18 in two weeks ;) My cousin always had the pokemon games so I would play them!

Im 25. Been playing since it came out

I'm 20, been playing since I was about.. 6 or 7, not sure exactly the age. I had Blue and my older brother had Red. Was a fun race to try and beat the game before him XD I remember flipping out whenever I first played the game and actually had a semi-decent understanding of what I was doing. Ahhhh good times :3

13.
Playing since 6-, 7-ish.
Watching since..[Error: Information not found].around birth-age, even.
Ah, my old days at playing Emerald.

I'm 17 :ο

I've been playing the game since I was 8 or 9.

I am 21 work at a law firm, getting my B.S. in law, planning on going to law school and might one day become an attorney. I will still play pokemon, and ensure you my kids will grow up with pokemon too!

I'll be 28 in June, started playing at age 12 with Red and Yellow version. Played Gold and took a loong break and started back playing this year with Heart Gold, Black 1&2. And I will be getting Pokemon X.

I'm 18 and I've been playing for about 13 years. My friends who also play Pokemon are 21, 19 and 16. Everyone but the 16 year old grew up with it. He was introduced to Pokemon when I met him about 4 years ago. I haven't met anyone younger than about 12 who plays Pokemon and the only reason I met them was that there was a TCG tournament going on when I walked in to a local card shop.

i'm 20 and i'm just started to play pokemon using emulator on iphone :D
but i already watch the season 1 on 1999 :D

Back when HG / SS came out I wore the pokewalker every where, I had to pick my boy up from school one day and he was embarrassed that I was wearing it even though it is his fault that I got into it. :laugh:

I'm 15 but my teacher is a hardcore fan. He's 25 and I think he has played through almost all Pokemon challenges.

I know a doctor from Australia that has been into it for ages, that's where I got my Truth gyrados from.

Well, I am 19 years old and going to lose my teenhood this upcoming May. I think I've been playing since I was a wee little seven year-old and I'll be playing up until I have my own wee hopefully-not-as-little seven year-old playing with me.
I met a couple people at college my age who are also into Pokémon; I'll tell you, it was very reassuring to see other people my age playing it for once...
