Yep, Pokemon was never too old for me. as i first started pokemon when i was 7, and nows, im double dat age, still playing pokemon :) (although i quit for 2 years lol). Around when i was in grade 6 to 7, it was considered...babyish to them, but i kept my secret of my love to pokemon to myself xD. But now, in my new secondary school, almost everyone loves pokemon O_o...which..was strange xD.

Like Harry Potter, pokemon had helped me through some dark times in my life dealing with some personal and family issues.

Those who are too eager to grow up are those who will be the most miserable. For those who post on this board and are still in middle or high school and play pokemon, never let the judgement of others dissuade you from enjoying what you hold dearly.

The moment you start caring about what others think of you or whatever hobbies you peruse is when you stop caring about yourself.

Be yourself and keep playing Pokemon and loving it. If people want to judge you for it then they should take a long look at themselves in the mirror.

Besides there are a hell of a lot worse things you could be doing at your age. I would know :P

I think it's more just a social issue than anything. People always worry about what other people have to say about them, but honestly it shouldn't really matter what you do or don't like.

I'm 21 and I still think Pokemon is pretty rad. I'm not afraid to talk about it either with my friends, it doesn't faze me whether or not they think it's weird or not.

You're never too old unless you convince yourself that you're too old.

Kids at that age are always trying to look cool and mature while putting others down for doing things which they don't consider "mature or cool" The people who used to tell me that I was weird for playing pokemon are all smoking, have no friends and are getting terrible grades while i'm getting good grades, have a good amount of friends and don't feel self conscious about doing things I enjoy.

Well I think there are many aspects that you have to keep in mind.
I am 23. If you take, for example, my generation, we all kinda grew up with Pokémon. I remember the breaks in school when I was about 9 and everyone was playing Pokémon or trading the cards. And as we all grew older, there were new Pokémon games and so I guess it's rather hard to get over something like Pokémon.
Of course, the anime is concipated for a younger audience, but the basics behind Pokémon do have the potential for much more mature contents than those presented in the anime. Plus, you have to keep in mind that it's possible to make quite a strategy game out of Pokémon, breeding them for IVs and doing CP. : D
So well, I think Pokémon is one of the few things that works with children as well as with grown-ups.

Around 8th grade. That was, until I found some guys who liked Pokemon as much as I did, and I just "assimilated" into their group, in a sense. That was the time when people stopped caring about Pokemon, but I'm 15, going on 16, still strong about my pocket monsters, while I know that's not old, it's usually the age where people start to do other things, and quit games like Pokemon. I, however, will not :3

Never too old. I've never lost interest and continued buying the Pokemon games as they came out from age 8 to 22, 23 later this month. Hopefully this won't ever change because I find it to be an amazing franchise. =)
