i'd also like to point out that pokemon isn't a little kids game- they only see the stuff on the outside- it takes a full developed mind to comprehend all the strategy elements and stuff like EV training (although i never really got that)
i'll be playing as long as it keeps giving good pokemon (hence why i stopped for a while when gen four came out... that and i didn't have a DS, but that doesn't matter haha)

well .. to be honest, i really can't ever see myself growing out
of pokemon. ;u;

it's cheesy but pokemon has ALWAYS been my escape. ever
since i got my very first pokemon game (red) when i was five,
it's been like, my life. i was a lonely kid, i didn't have any
brothers or sisters and my parents kinda left me alone a lot.
but luckily they left me with video games, so i always had my
pokemon to keep me company. ;u;

it's still like that, and honestly, i just can't see my life without
it. i guess to me, it's just one of those things that won't go
away, ever. <3

i even wanna get my future kids into it! n_n

I have been a fan for as long as I can remember and there is just something about it that keeps me attached. I plan on being a fan for many a year to come. Maybe I could even work for Nintendo or Game freak and have Pokémon for a lifetime. I'm not quitting mainly because of a comment made by one of the developers in a Nintendo Power I read about HGSS. He used the words "Augmented Reality". We might be able to have our own real Pokémon soon. Maybe even a MMORPG virtual reality Pokémon game. I'm going to stay with the craze!

Pokemon is kind of like the girlfriend you have an on and off relationship with for me. Sometimes I get bored and dump it for a while, but I always find myself crawling back to it. ;)

But yeah, I can't seriously see quitting it for a while unless I get completley bored of it and can't find any enjoyment in it or it gets too expensive. Just like a girlfriend am I right?

Once I go to college and get into a career I can't really see myself playing the games avidly anymore. I'll still be a fan, sure, but when you're that busy, it's hard to find the time for leisure anymore.

TBH, maybe I will stay with it for some time or maybe grow out of it next months. I really do not know, but judging from the new Pokémon that B&W showed us, I probably will stay for a while now. As long as they introduce nice Pokémon designs and 'fun' games, I do not see myself ever leaving this game.

I will always remember it, even though I may at some point stop playing the games. Although as long as they are making them I am sure I will be playing them. PokeMon was a big part of my childhood, I played the games like crazy, watched the TV show and movies, played and collected the card game, bought PokeMon toys and those little dolls. When it first came out almost all of my friends were into it.

Playing it now reminds me a lot of those times as a kid and its great. I have had months and year long breaks from PokeMon, even now I am playing a few of the games after having been completely done with PokeMon for around 3 years, my longest break ever.

Now though with HG and the Black and White games coming out, I find myself emerged in the PokeMon world again.

Considering I've been a fan since the year 2000, I don't think I'll ever stop liking Pokémon, there's still so much to look forward to.

I'll most likely be with Pokemon for the rest of my life. I've loved it since it came out in... 1997 or something like that. Basically I've liked it for more than half of my life? xD; I still do like it to this day, though. :3 I can't imagine life without it, to be honest. XD;

As much as I would love to say I will stick by pokemon forever its getting really hard to do that because of many changes both in the franchise and the fandom. Alot of pokemon starting with gen 3 seem to have lost the creativity that the first two gens captured, I find a good number of gen 4 and 5 look more like digimon or clones of old pokemon (seel, spheal) (magikarp, a gen 5 fish) etc. Things like that make me a bit angry but I usually just ignore the pokemon I dislike.

The anime is not even the same thing anymore either from the more kid friendly writing, changes to long standing traditions in the show, the digitalization of the animation, voice actor changes and way too much un-interesting filler oh and ****** background and theme music. I don't even watch the anime anymore because I find it to be so un-funny and boring I can hardly sit through an episode. I have the first season on dvd and love it, it's still funny to this day and has that nice classic animation look.

The fandom. As far as this goes I am not trying to bash anyone here but there is just way too many children in the fandom now adays and it really sucks when you try to have a conversation about aspects a good portion might not remember about older games and anime etc. Majority of the old stomping grounds online are gone like marill's world and a good number of other websites from web 1.0 as the people moved on. TR Rose is another good example, trs rockin use to be a pinnacle of the team rocket/rocketshipping community and when she left pokemon fandom tr videos went red rockets went and they where a big part of the rocket fandom.

Guess I just feel kinda out of place now adays I hardly talk online about pokemon and find myself talking to friends irl more about it because they seem to get it. I think I will allways like pokemon and will allways keep my stuff but there may come a time when I call it quits to keeping updated with the community, the show and the games.
honour, respect, courage, knowledge and love these are what makes a true pokemon master.

I think I'll play it for years from now. Perhaps, A long time ahead. Its really awesome and its started grow on me too! So I don't think I'll lose interest of it sooner.

Edit : Perhaps, I'll love it forever. If Pokemon still survive until I can make my own Games/Anime, I think I'll go participate/Cooperate with them. Share my thoughts, My design, Bla bla bla bla bla.

I'll probably lose interest sooner or later, just like I always do, but I think it will be a long time till then! XD

definately in a long time and most likely when pokemn becomes dull when everyone at the current gamefreak team dies and pokemon changes completely.
but my taste in music is your face
