Long time fan here.. was obsessed with pokemon when it first hit the US like a shockwave. Had all of the gameboy games, and about 3500 cards at one point. I didn't play the card game, just collected. When my father was diagnosed with a mental disorder I was told by my brother that I had to "Grow Up" and so I sold all of my collections out of guilt. But I didn't totally distance myself from it, I read up about all of the new things happening once or twice a month. Now, about 6 years later I have realized that what happened was not my fault and I resent my family more and more for making me feel guilty enough to give up my favorite thing as a child.. so here I am, back with my long lost obsession and happier than ever. :)
I apologise for the long and strange introduction, but repressing it any longer would probably put me in the same position as my father.
