I think those of us who like the highflautin' stuff are into different things: astronomy, drawing, computers, classic movies, poetry, etc. So there's not much that really connects 'em all together, you know? Yeah, there probably are a good chunk who learn/want to learn Japanese or other things somewhat related to their pokemon interest, but I don't think you'll find many history buffs, for instance.
Oh, I'd still go there, no question. If I had the time and money, of course. You could spend a lifetime in a big enough city and not get tired of it.
