Have you ever..

Yeah I take a lot more breaks from Pokemon now. I'll play it for a week or two and then not touch it again for months lol. I think it's normal, especially as you get older.
 
Sometimes I take breaks, usually around a month or two. The longest was about a year. It's okay to take breaks! After all, it's good to have other hobbies too. Even when I'm not playing Pokemon, it's always on my mind anyway.
 
I do get tired of playing Pokémon every once in a while, yeah. Not just this; same goes for pretty much every other series, really. Usually, they tend to keep same, exact mechanics, and plot-wise, they're relatively similar, more or less, so you already how things are before you start playing anything new. As someone else had said, it's definitely normal.

As a kid, though, this isn't how I've felt; regardless of how much I'd play a series, things wouldn't get too boring for me, as I was actually quite easy to fascinate back then. Now, however, not so much.
 
I did, until I started doing challenges like nuzlockes which made it fun again
 
I did at certain points, most namely before DP had released and I had gotten bored with Emerald. And I had Heart Gold but my interest in it wasn't that long lasting at first, but BW really got me back into the game.

Honestly, while there are many other games I really want to get to playing, nowadays, I just get sucked back into Pokémon. As i've said before, what keeps it from getting old to me is how many possibilities for teams there are, which allows for a different experience each time. Which is kind of the point of Challenges. If I hadn't been into stuff like Nuzlockes (and nowadays Wedlockes), Monotypes and what not, I don't think i'd be as into Pokémon now, but once you're a challenger, you never want to stop.
 
After I beat Pokemon X, I definitely felt like I was done with Pokemon for a while because the game was a bit of a disappointment when compared to previous generations that I loved. With the announcement of ORAS I picked up my copy of Y but I haven't even gotten halfway through yet, however, when November rolls around I'm sure I'll be an avid player again. :]
 
Certainly. I haven't been playing pokémon in any active way for at least a year now I think ;) I really should go and join a challenge!
 
I think I grew tired of playing Pokemon the game around Gen 3, I bought Sapphire but I never really liked the pokemon in it, in fact I hated all the fire types in it besides Blaziken. I could never make a team of Pokemon I liked and to be honest I don't have any interest in playing it. Same with Firered. I bought Black 2 and Y version and played for awhile but haven't played in months. Mostly because every move or Pokemon I see I have to check online type weaknesses and move rankings/descriptions, it's just tedious and the 3DS isn't as light as the Gameboy Advance Sp so it's hard to play for a long time. Overall I think this will be the case for any future games as well.

I could really play Pokemon whenever I want, and I never grow tired of it. Its really one of the funnest games I have played. Right now I am playing HeartGold as we speak.
 
Uh in between the Sinnoh games and HGSS, I wasn't really into Pokemon at all and didn't even plan on purchasing the Johto remakes, but one of my friends got it for me as a birthday present. That was really the only time, as far as I can remember.
