I think that you have your answer, but I'll still chime in: I'm 26 and I still play the main series games.

Also, I'll leave this here:

I'm 23, and I still enjoy pokemon =)
Heck, I have an uncle who is 32, and he is still into pokemon. He plays it with his 6-year old son, and they trade pokemon to complete the pokedex.

Kinda like card games, or pinball, or any casual passtime - Many adults find it shameful to like peaceful relaxing things "meant for children", so they put stakes on it - gambling money, or pursuing a high score, or theming it around violence/romance.

Many people will refuse to watch anime, but they'll go watch Frozen in theaters five times.
It's a society thing.

I don't get why people think it's weird to play Pokémon at older ages. It's just something people enjoy, and in my opinion not really something only kids should enjoy. I'm only 16 but some people still say "Isn't that something for kids?". I just tell them I enjoy it and that I don't care what I should be to enjoy something. Just do the things that make you happy.

TL;DR: Nope, it's not weird at all :)

Hahahaha, There is nothing wrong with being older and still in Pokémon. I think is admirable to have found something you liked as a kid and still enjoy it Today. A lot of people don't have that. I am 26 and I get exited for the new games as much as when I was 10. There are tons of other Pokémon fans like us, this why there are places like this to find those who have something in common with you!

My mother has you beat - she's 48 and she's played every Pokemon game right alongside me since I got Yellow and gave her my copy of Red. xD

But seriously, I don't see the problem with being older and playing Pokemon...or anything else, for that matter. Your interests are your own, and if people have a problem with that, then it's their problem and not yours. All that matters is that you enjoy yourself. It's not weird at all, especially considering a lot of Pokemon fans have stuck with the franchise since it was first released.

Psh. I'm 26, and I still play pokemon. It's probably the only game I play the most out of everything else I have. I hardly ever play my PS Vita. I'm always on my 3DS playing older Pokemon games or the recent one. XD I think you'll find quite a few people who like pokemon aren't all kids.

I have read through all of these posts and am surprised by you even asking, I won't say my age but I am older than all of you that posted and am still into it and don't see myself giving up on it any time soon. It does all depend on what you like and not weird at all, I still carry and play my 3ds in town and into stores, kids will ask "what you playing" and it's always pokemon.

I really dont see the wierd with being 25+ and being into pokemon.

Everyone has different interests. Thats all.

I am 31 and I am into pokemon.

But I guess this is my own view of it. I am an open minded person.

The common people so to speak might find it wierd becouse its not common with people in general 25+ to like pokemon. But thats should not be equal to it being wierd.

No, not at all! As a matter of fact, Pokémon has been so generally accepted by 18+ year old fans to the point where Game Freak actually made Pokémon for all ages. This happened during the release of X and Y.

And this target audience change is much needed. We love Pokémon for many different reasons from the creatures themselves to the simple yet deep battle mechanics. It's irritating to see non-fans dismiss us as childish adults. The reason for this is because you shouldn't stop liking something simply because you're "too old" for it. You should ignore what the target audience says and keep on liking what you like. :D

I have to say when I got my Y copy, we were in a line before the store opening and there was a line up!! Only one little girl. That's it. The others were way more older. (This little girl has her daddy with her.. He did a good job haha)

I am 20.
I quit watching pokemon after Misty left when I was about 13 then after 7 years later I watched some repeats of pokemon season 1 and I got back into it recently. I honestly dont care about pokemon infact I dont even know one pokemon of gen 3 4 5 6...
Now I only care about Pokeshipping. I like the chemistry between Ash and Misty. I just hope they reunite marry and have some kids.

Really funny, this thread is. My wife (yes, I'm that old), loves the fact that I get online and watch Pokemon videos and go on a Pokemon forum. Unlike most men my age (24, turning 25 on Thanksgiving), I don't go online to watch girls twerk (that has to hurt the back anyway), but I go online and do nerdy things like watch people open Pokemon cards or play a video game. I'm proud to be a nerd, I have been all of my life and it's just who I am. Don't be ashamed of still loving Pokemon. I still play Pokemon Yellow, Gold, and Ruby for the most part. It's just who we are.

Well, I am 23 this year and I am still into Pokemon.
My friends have all gotten into Pokemon despite teasing me about it back in the days. :P
Everyone's pretty open about such things now.

I've never understood this mentality that adults, or rather people above the age of, what, 10(?), shouldn't enjoy the game or that it's strange that they still find it fun.
I'm still baffled at why threads like this keep popping up or what could possess someone to be self conscious about enjoying a video game. What twentysomethings would care that much? In my experience the only time I was judged for what I enjoy was when I was a kid/teen. Real adults don't give a Rattata's Tail Whip about something like that though I have been scoffed at for liking RuneScape, but I digress. Besides, weird is awesome.
