You know what sicken's me about this thread?
It's the fact that NO ONE who's posting here apper's to be a 'girly girl'/'prep'. At all. Yet you all are trying to prove Pokémon isn't childish?...hallerious.
However, I did not login to bash you. At all.
Just soo you know...i'm that same girl called 'PikaJ', from Bulbagarden's forums. I'm kinda becoming a 'girlier' girl now, and i've ALWAYS been really quite girly as a kid. I loved Barbie and ANYTHING bright/pretty...though I also kinda had a thing for video games, too.
But, now, at the age of 18, I really am starting to feel too 'old' for Pokémon, and, technecly speaking, I don't know why I care to stick up for the series and not be one to call it 'childish'. However, regardless of who I am...Pokémon is EXTREMELY special to me. Even though it's possable i'm NATURALLY letting go now, I won't allow myself to. I'll fight growing out of the series if it mean's putting my life in danger for it. With all the close friendships I made, due to Pokémon....I have REASONS to love this franchice, possably forever.
'Childish'? Who really GIVES one?! Pokémon is AWESOME, and, as I get 'girlier' day by day, i'm going to become more and more confident about my fandom. And, if anyone think I should be 'token care of' for it, i'm not going to care. I'll like what I want, stereo types are SCREWED!!!
POKEMON SHALL LIVE ON....FOREVER!!!!!!!! Oh, and, BY THE WAY, I can't WAIT till the g/s re-makes come out....I love Johto A LOT. And I always will...
I'm glad I finally got this all off my chest...
And, by the way, for those who know me as 'PikaJ' from Bulbagardens forums---I actually deleted my Pearl file afterall, and I regret the mistake everyday now. However, luckly, I have a BACK-UP team---It is my old Pearl team I saved to my brother's Diamond file. It is also LESS cute than the one that's deleted. But...
I'm still going to train it, and, i'm STILL going to like cute things, as well. And, if the chalange give's me a headake, i'll still go for it....because I want to battle my brother, just like old times.
I'm not a quiter. Prehaps my additude will show you all just how open minded people can be...NO ONE had to close their minds up due to things being 'childish' or due to commen 'stereo types'. Pffft.
Soo now that you've read my post, be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY...your love for Pokémon has NO REASON to end. At all. No matter WHO you are...you can love Pokémon.
Forever.^_~

EDIT---I just hope I didn't BUMP a DEAD topic for REAL....Ahh, who care's! I made an IMPORTENT statement, and i'm not going to hold back on what I said. At all, ever.
