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. :)

Editman March 24th, 2010 6:15 AM

I keep forgetting, i'm a grown man V_V. I'm 20

MegaTravis March 24th, 2010 9:05 AM

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?

Merose Tengoku March 24th, 2010 10:44 AM

Yup. Im 19 and playing ;)

myrrhman March 24th, 2010 12:06 PM

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!

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

Woah, dude like get a life cmon college or something? Football, sports yeh know? :P Jk I love Pokemon and I'm 18 turning 19 and I beast at the card game or at least I used to at my local league. Now I'm getting back into it so I can pown again!

Okami Chi March 24th, 2010 1:19 PM

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?)

Whoa wait a minute...the DS can die? That just scared me.

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

Muffin™ March 24th, 2010 1:51 PM

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.)

Weâvile March 24th, 2010 2:17 PM

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.

.Occam March 24th, 2010 2:31 PM

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.

Aah! That's what my day is like, almost exactly! (Creepy, ne? ^.^)

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.

Sad, but true. All awesome things must come to an end. Like my Red cart with Mew in it.

*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...)

Sudeki March 25th, 2010 5:13 PM

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

I find this to be very true. I'm just as entertained with playing Pokemon now as I was when I was eight years old, and I still find things to challenge me while I'm playing. The game was extremely challenging back then (especially because I didn't even know what a strategy guide was back then and I had to find my own way through all the caves), but I was still able to make my way through it after trial, error, and learning. I think all the puzzle solving I had to do in Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow kept my mind far busier as a child than anything on TV did. ^_^ And although it did get easier to play and understand the strategy of it as an adult, I still find it as entertaining and challenging as I did then.

Coin March 25th, 2010 7:22 PM
