Introducing.... me

[Citrine77]

I'm an old duck here: 61 years young.

My introduction to Pokemon was amusing to my kids who are both adults. I was heading into hospital and wanted something to do that didn't need the internet. So, on a fateful day in spring, my daughter lent me her 3ds and Pokemon x. It was lunch time.... one little game that needed some strategy, and had cute beasties... and I was hooked. My daughter stole back her 3ds at 3am the next morning... despite my protests.

My kids bought me my own 2ds only a day later. My collection of Pokemon games increases slowly but surely... and while I like the earlier games, I adore gens 6 and 7... and am waiting on gen 8 for my new switch...

Both the 2ds and switch are small enough for use in a hospital... but then my experiences with hospitals is mixed. Some places are better than others, but I do what I have to and take my Pokemon with me lol.

Hey there! Really glad to have you Citrine! Pokecommunity is a place for all ages and it's awesome to have you onboard the Pokemon train :D What awesome kids you have that they bought you your own 2DS <3 Maybe they'd be interested in joining these forums too? Hehe

Newer games like the ones you're playing cater to a much wider audience, whereas ones from decades ago a la the Nintendo DS and Game Boy era offered a little bit more of a challenge. Regardless, there's no doubt in my mind you'll be hooked with all of them and get playing in no time at all :D Do you have a favorite Pokemon so far? Favorite character? Ah man let me just say this whole franchise is one big rabbit hole, so I hope you're prepared :3
