Any other adult players on here?
Are there any other adults playing Pokemon Diamond etc-not that I mind what age people are, just curious. My adult friend is bringing me a poxedex prima guide when she comes out here for her hols on the 2nd April, and I am tempted to tell her it is for hubbie's cousin!
|
Yeah, I'm in my mid-late 20's and I still play the games regularly. I know plenty of other adults on the forums that do as well.
|
25 and gonna play my first game soon.. got hooked on the show few days ago.. maybe that counts? :)
|
It's not like you have to say it's for you, if you don't wanna tell her who it's for. Just thank her, and change the subject? xD Either way, I'm going to be 23 this year, currently replaying Platinum, and I'm still as big of a fan as ever. Our oldest member here is in her 70's, actually, and she's pretty hardcore into Pokemon.
The game is made for entertainment purposes, and entertainment has no age limit. Just because someone is older than 15, it doesn't mean they can't still enjoy Pokemon. :3 |
I'm 19 and still play, if that counts as an adult. I actually walk around with my pokewalker on on campus and I got my 21 year old girlfriend hooked. =) I don't see my pokemon obsession leaving too soon
|
I'm 25 and I love the Pokemon games. My girlfriend is fond of Pokemon as well. Also, both my semi-ex-roommates play Pokemon, and I got them into both Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
|
*is 22 and has played since Blue X3* <begin rant>*is also upset, because he missed the recent plat events... pads off wondering if he could do a "With Friends" Wonder card exchange... Otherwise, I dunno why that option would be available for Mystery Gift </rant>* Me either... As long as they keep making awesome games, I'll keep playing, even in my 60s and 70s X3
|
:D i suppose i am not adult per say our i do not think of myself as once but in the eyes of the state of Ca i am so yea more adults play pokemon on here :D!
|
im 18 and kinda a adult and i still love pokemon! always play it and everyone knows it :P
|
21 is adult right?! xD I plan on playing until my DSi dies on me..
|
I'm 20 and have been playing the games since they first came out in the 90's, and they're still my favorite video games.
|
I don't think it counts, but my firend's mom will play from time to time if we are both playing battle rev. and 'hogging the TV' as she says. She's 37.
|
Its so cool to hear your answers-now that I have discovered it again I am sure I will be playing Pokemon forever!
|
Turned 19 late last year, so I guess by title I am an adult. I've enjoyed playing the game since Blue. Stopped watching the show when they introduced May and Max, but I've never gotten away from the hand-held games of Pokemon.
|
i just turned 19 on the 7th. i have played the games since the very beginning, r/b/y, and i own most of the games and have never stopped liking pokemon.
|
Squee~!
And here I was, thinking I was this semi-pedophile at almost 27, ranting on about how cool certain pokemon were, and never missing a night of playing. *sniff* It kind of sucks, though. Anyone I know could care less about pokemon, and when I tell them that I've been playing since I was 16, and I even went to the movies when they were in theaters and everything, they kind of treat it (and me) like an illness, sorta. I need 'help'....lol.... |
Im 19 (if it counts as an adult) and i play mah pokiemanz. Im pretty open about it but i dont like make it a big deal in real life, i mean literally i had an ex gf of two years even play pokemon battle revolution random wifi matches with me, i told her what move to pick while she held the wii mote lol.
I never really understood why some people got embarassed telling others they play/love pokemon because hell if someone asks me you'd be surprised as i said "of course i do, you know who swampert is? Well he's like my fav. pokemon out there, here ill show you what he looks like he's a straight up BEAST" lol im also the kind of person who doesn't even look like they would be into pokemon...I mean heck, im being trained to become an amateur MMA(mixed martial arts) fighter, and i play and love pokemon. Who would have thought?? lol |
19 and with a squirrel who play too..does curtis count ?
if not am 19 and have all the games,movies and lots of cards.. |

But as this guy said, you shouldn't be embarrassed to let people know you play pokemon. Do you really think everyone you know would judge you that harshly just for liking a game? |
I don't know anyone who would judge me harshly, but I know several who would laugh at me! Thankfully, one of those people is not my hubbie-he's just happy if I'm happy, and doesnt mind all the different things I do, thankgoodness-phew! other wise I would have to sit in the cupboard, with the baby com and play pokemon!
|
im 19 and play and my grilfriends 19s and plays so yeah im a sort of adult :D
|
I'm 22 and I still play the games and watch the show sometimes. And oooooh April 2nd because that's when I turn 23, yay! I've been playing the games since I was a kid and I can't wait for gen V!
|
I am technically an adult but I am the type of guy who finds it hard to just suddenly lose interest in things that make me smile. I still love most of the things that I did as a child but Pokemon and Spongebob stand at the top! XD I dont see myself losing interest anytime soon at all. I just wish it was less childish, though I dont REALLY mind, I kinda wish it got a little more mature, but the games competitive side makes up for that. Pokemon forever <333
|
I'm 26 and been playing since Red and Blue. Stopped for a while after crystal came out because my GBC broke and I guess forgot how awesome the games were. Then I found out my buddy who is 23 had Diamond when they came out and instantly had to get a DS and also go back and buy and enjoy gen 3 when I found out the DS could play GBA. I'll be a lifer, that is for sure :rambo:
|
25 turning 26 this year... been playing pokemon since blue on my big bulkly gameboy... which i still have.... and sometimes actually still play... hello missingno that turns into a kangashkan (sp) that oddly some how knows how to fly? O.o
|
I'm 20, 21 in May and I still play the fourth generation avidly. I fell out with Pokémon a little during the third generation, since I felt a need to grow up as most teenagers do, but then I realised that was completely stupid around the time I was 18. Why should I stop playing when I enjoy the games? After I got Pearl I met some other people who play Pokémon when I went to university, and there are 3 of us who still play on a regular basis.
|
Yep 23 years young and still playing. I have heart gold and I put a tattoo of a butterfree on my girlfriends leg. Yep hardcore she is. Oh does anyone knows where i can get two arceus??
|
I'm 20, have played every generation to death since the very first. Don't see the point in abandoning a series because its made "for kids" I still love the games to this day and will enjoy them equally as much as the likes of Modern Warfare and Heavy Rain. Variety is the spice of life as they say.
|
I'm 20 and I've been playing since 1998. xD You're never too old to do a hobby that you enjoy, and Pokemon is no different than just that--a hobby. I'll probably continue playing video games as long as I have the free time to play them. :)
|
I keep forgetting, i'm a grown man V_V. I'm 20
|
I am 20 and i still play Pokemon, and I love it more than I originally did!
|
24 in June, and still playing. I plan on playing as long as they make the games, and will probably still play the old ones, even when they aren't. I have a 3 & 4 year old (both boys), and I think I may have gotten them hooked to at least the show, for now. Most people read books before they go to bed, but I play Pokémon (which, on occasion, found myself waking up in the middle of the night to save and shut off my DSi because I fell asleep playing, lol).
I also walk around work with my PokéWalker, but nobody seems to care. Either that or they're not sure what it is and don't want to bother asking. :laugh: |
Can i also just ask why this is in the D/P/Pt Thread and not Other Chat?
|
Yup. Im 19 and playing ;)
|
I'm 19 and still playing, and I got all my friends hooked on it again. Including my girlfriend, which is nice, because now I don't have to make some excuse why I can't see her when I'm actually playing Pokemon. I can just have her over and we both play Pokemon now!

Well by law I'm an adult. (18) I have played since the begining and such, so I guess I make the cut. (14 years of Pokemon for the win?)

Anyway, I am 22 and I have been playing pokemon since I was 14. I got my 26-year-old boyfriend into Diamond, so I am planning on battling with him at some point. Some people do honestly think it's weird that I play it, but I don't care. They're just jealous that they don't have such a cool hobby. :p |
I'm 11, and I'm pretty young for this community... My first game was Crystal. I don't really play D/P/Pt though... (WORST. GAMES. EVER.)
|
Twenty one in December. I've had every generation so far. Green, my brother owned, don't know where he got it. Then I obtained Blue. I had what was likely not an official Nintendo product, Gold and Silver 2in1. Again, this was my brothers. I purchased both Ruby and Sapphire. I preffered the latter. I got both Diamond and Pearl, preffering Diamond. Then Platinum. And now I await the European release of HeartGold and SoulSilver. I have very fond memories of Johto.
|
I'm turning 23 in May and I bought both Platinum and HeartGold in the past few months. I was away from the series for a while but it would appear I'm addicted again.

My daughter just turned 5 on Sunday, and she already knows Pikachu, Pichu, Lickylicky and Lucario, mostly from My Pokemon Ranch. It's a shame I can't get her to pickup on things more easily other than stuff she sees on the TV...she's autistic so even those 4 are a big thing. Quote:
*cries* Do you suppose the game itself is easier to play when you're older, or is it just because most of us have all been playing since day 1? (And why are there no poke-pride marches yet?! lol...) |
Well I think its because of the way there making pokemon games, this is what I say about it
"Pokemon games, Easy enough for a child to play, But complicated enough to keep an Adult busy" :P |

|
My parents play Pokemon.
...as do all the creators of the game. nyah. :P |
im 11 and ive been playing pokemon since i was 4
|
i turn 27 this Saturday i have played all the poke games. i got my wife hooked with emerald
|
I've been playing since blue and won't stop!
|
I'm 22, been around since Red and Blue and I don't plan on stopping any time soon, so expect to see me around here for a while. :D
|
Man, I feel the youngest here. 15 and half, 18 days to turn 16 (April 13, don't forget March has 31 days)
And I too being playing from R/B/Y (Sorta), I got my Yellow, never bothered to get R/B, I finished Yellow. It wasn't that tuff considering Dugtrio overpowered the entire game. Finished 1 game of each gen. |
Wow, im scared now...
Ill just go and umm. bye |
I'm 22 and been playing pokemon ever since the first came out
|
I think I'm the oldest so far...
I guess I'm pretty "adult". Will be 40 in December. Ive been playing pokemon since Ive purchased the old Gameboy Advance system in the mid- 90's. I dont think you can ever be to old to play this game. Its fun and challenging. I also get to bond with my 7 y/o daughter who has the H/G version while I have the S/S version. I also walk with the pokewalker :), even at work. Guess I'm just a kid at heart. As long as you have fun, its all good!!!
|
I'm 18 I play pokemon I like to make jokes about pokemon, I don't see a problem with this
|
I'm twenty and I still play although Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum weren't as fun for me. HG has restored my faith since I played the original one when I was little :).
|
I'm almost 20. Still a fan xD I'm even more of a fan than I used to be when I was a kid and played pokemon. Probably because now I understand more and I see that there is a lot more in these games than you think at the first place.
|
Whoa 70 years =O
Pretty nice e.e I'm 17,Not an adult |
We are all over 21 here at Vision & Valor Productions and we all play on a regular basis.
|
21 here~
Intense love of nearly everything Pokemon also here~ - Tyros |

Ill be 20 in June, thought i was the only adult who still played.
|
I've been playing since October 1999, when I got Blue version.
|
22 years young and still playing the video games, everything else I lost all interest in, apart from the games... I used to love the Trading Cards too :(
Still playing the video games is like my secret vice lol the only person who knows I still play is my younger bro (18) |
23 here. i was school champion like a decade ago on red/blue, took a massive break, then i picked up leafgreen last year for a few quid to have a little do on in the ds, loved it, got pearl, discovered wifi, loved it more!
soulsilver is the first game ive ever bought on the release date. |

|
You guy's are so cool. Seriously, you're all beyond awesome. Especially the ones with kids. Parents who play pokemon would be sweet!
|
Does 18 count as an adult yet? =P
|
I'm 19. I'm legally an adult, so do I count? XD
I just got Platinum for Christmas, and believe it or not- it's my FIRST handheld Pokemon game. O_O ...I knowwwwww, I've been missing out. For a loooong time, haha. After I beat it, I'ma go and buy SoulSilver! <3 |

I am so pleased my friends bought all the gear over for me now-I have Emerald and the guide, and Pokemon Diamond with the 2 books. I am loving it. My daughter who ıs only 4 is also enjoying getting some play out of it too bless her. I should also have had a wifi max so I could link up to wifi but unfortunately that didnt turn up at my friends house, I am so dısappointed I have to wait to the end of May to start trading boo hoo-least I can try and get a good collection together. Thanks for all your replys it is lovely to know that there are so many adult players around. You can never be too old for games can you-my Dad is 56 this and plays Aion every day! |
I'm starting to think you guys are all lying kids trying to pass as 20, haha
|
I'm going to be 19 in the summer, if that counts as being an adult. I've played the game since I was a child and I don't plan on stopping because people disagree with it. I'll stop playing when I finally outgrow the games.
|
Turning 20 in June, so yeah, I guess.
|
I'm turning 20 this July and I've been playing Pokemon since third grade. =D
|
18
ive been totally hooked since red version. no pokemon can live up to my dugtrio from the second grade XD god. the time and money spent on pokemon the gams the cards |
Well, i'm 24 and still playing Pokemon, everyone look at me when i take a look at my pokewalker in the street haha.
|
I'm 20! And I think I will keep playing for a long time.
|
i'm 19 and yeh i will seem to play for a long time
|
i turn 20 in september and i still play
and i also battle competitively |
Turning 20 in May, had a GBC with Gold and Crystal and later Red when I was little, and picked it back up in the last year via emulator. Still no DS v.v;
|
I'm a month shy of my 23rd birthday and I've been playing Pokemon games since Red/Blue hit American shores when I was 11. It's nothing to be ashamed of...most of my family and friends just think of it as one other thing that falls under my general gaming interests. XD
|
Im 18 and have played every pokemo game from a very youg age. I got addicted way back o pokemo blue.
|
I'm going on 21 and I've been playing nonstop since I was 9. Pokemon's been a part of my life for more than half of it, so there's no way I'm giving it up anytime soon ^_^
|
*Sigh* I seem to be the oldest on this page at least. I'm 31, turning 32 in May. I still have a game boy and yellow and red, plus Emerald, Pearl, Platinum, and SoulSilver.
My wife who is 27 plays too and she also has platinum and HeartGold. My 11 year old daughter plays too, with Diamond. Family gaming night at our house plays out a little differently here than most places... |

Yeah it would...I stopped watching the anime when I was 11 or 12, but wanted to get Leaf Green when I was 13. When I tried to though, my dad nearly snapped and made me feel embarrassed. Since then, I've kept any interest I've had in the games a secret in my offline life.

Take Care |
Yep :D
there are some : P and even a lot of them. Just that most of people dont walk on the street playing ds so you cant see them on bus or other public places xD |
I'm a 18yo and i love pokemon ill never stop playing!!
|
I'm 25 years old. I still do play. This is my second time playing pokemon diamond. I messed up the first time. I taught my puiple an hm move.
|
23 since Feb, and I have been playing it since '98, much like alot of people here.
I just can't seem to put it down. Just when Ithought I had sworn it off, I grabbed a copy of Ruby, and was plesently suprised. I got Leaf Green some time later, and decided to find out what from that generation I missed out on. Sice Emerald, I haven't missed a relase date. I can never find fault with it too. No matter how many legendary's they add, no matter what types they mix, no mater what the evil team calls it's self, I can't find fault with it. I don't know what it is about Pokemon that keeps me asking for more, but i'm glad I do. |
