    Never ever! I've been a Pokemon fan for 10 years straight and while the new voice actors in the English version stopped me from watching the anime I am still as crazy as ever over the games, toys and manga (and I'm even the resident creepy goth girl where I come from). You're never too old for Pokemon! :t224:

    I think you can be too old for Pokemon, but that shouldn't stop you liking it. If that made any sense.
    I think that Pokemon is designed at younger people and you can outgrow it, but if you like it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
    Besides, look at the creators / artists / developers at Nintendo who work on Pokemon games and franchises. They aren't 10 years old, they are grown ups.


    yea, and i'm suer they enjoy pokemon too :P

    In my theory you are never too old to do anything. With stuff like pokemon you can't be too old for yourself to get hooked on.

    Never 2 old for pokemon

    I think that everyone should be able to love whatever is in their hearts not just because someone goes "What? You watch pokemon? That is dorky, haha!!" I have had that happen to me a lot, but I still love it with all my heart and I remain a staffshipper.;)

    Heck no. Sure, I may not exactly go boasting around at my school that I like Pokemon (superficial buttheads...) but I hope I don't outgrow Pokemon until many ages to come. I dread the day I grow bored of it.

    You're never too old to enjoy something, and that applies to Pokémon as well :> Just because a lot of parents/parent-like people look down on Pokémon or anime in general, it doesn't mean you should just listen to them and pretend you don't like it D: I guess you could argue that most "normal" high schoolers don't like Pokémon, but hey, who wants to be normal? Normal is totally boring :[

    Are you saying that liking Pokemon is a maturity thing? :S
    And this isn't about Pokemon getting old, but old people liking Pokemon.
    And most things with the 18+ limit aren't all that good for 18+ year olds :S But 80 year olds are allowed to flirt...Just won't be very succesfull, unless you're an 80 year old interested in men :S
    It's just a common misconception like boy/girl colours :P People need to wisen up and accept others enjoyments xD

    Dude, you should get some fresh air! I was just kidding about the 80 year old flirting thing. It's just creepy, and I didn't say they can't do it, I just said they don't look good.
    And most thing with 18+ limits should be left to the 18+ people. General immaturity can lead to world destruction.

    I am only 14, and my parents think I am too old for Pokemon. Although I protest harshly against their words!

    No, I don't think you could ever be too old to be into Pokemon.

    Never be old for Pokemon. Just catch up with what's hip and new. 17 is still young. I'm 16 but I still love Pokemon. Pokemon has done enjoyment in my life.

    Well, I suppose the competitive battling side requires time and persistence - not exactly a trait of 8 year olds - thus one could surmise that the battle frontiers of Platinum and Emerald were designed for the more mature folk who are bored of the elite four being level 60 (R/S/E) or having to go through a bunch of other unimportant stuff without a real place to get to level 100.

    With regards to general play, it's foolish to think it's only for teenagers and once you have a job BAM, no moar gaming ever, and guess who makes the general rule of "teenagers only"? the immature 13 year olds :P.

    I'll probably keep playing pokemon on and off for a long time. (Oh Lawd, did he just write a wall of text?)

    Fun has no age limit.
    just because it was meant for kids doesn't mean only kids should play it.
    its just that some people are too immature to comprehend it.
