So how old are you guys now?

I'm 15 and started playing when I was 6, I'm okay if people at school find out since I know a lot of people are too scared to admit they play.
 
I'm twenty, and I've been playing since I was eight. :) I've never been ashamed or embarrassed to say that I play. It's just a hobby; it's really no different than saying you like football, or scrap-booking, or anything else. I'm a sophomore in college, and I even play while I'm at class. xD (I'm a bad influence, don't do what I do!).
 
I'm 15, and played Pokemon when I was 11, I think. Well, I played it when the Emerald and FR/LG versions were out so, and I was in 6th grade then.
 
I'm 26 and I play Pokemon. I don't give two hoots of a rat's "@$$" about who knows. I'm a gamer and will be for the rest of my life because I enjoy it and I hope I can enjoy Pokemon that long as well. While I may have my reservations about how the game is implemented in some aspects I'm generally and genuinely sold on it. So when this rumored Nintendo 3DSI with supposed 3G connection compatibility comes out and the 5th generation of Pokemon sets in expect me to be one of the first ones at the Gamestop or Toys R' Us to pick up a pre-ordered copy. Limited edition? Even better! I'll pay the extra for whatever extra Pokemon crap they throw in with it! Within reasonable cost... I'm crazy about Pokemon but I'm not stupid.

17 , 18 in September , probably wont stop playing pokemon for a long time.
When i do ill always be a fan. Been playing it since red.
 
As of right now, I'm currently 22 and I've been playing since Red and Blue. I'm a long time fan of Pokemon and probably will be for a long time to come. I remember starting out with a copy of Pokemon Red that didn't save at all. Ah, the memories of catching a Beedrill and not being able to save. Lol. It's been a long time and I'm playing SoulSilver right now. I love the games. So fun and addicting like always. :)
 
I was 12 when I first played G/S/C, aaand now I'm 22, and still waiting to get my copy of HG. :3
 
Well 17 now, turning 18 in December 4th.
First Pokemon game i think was Crystal, now playing SoulSilver :)
 
I'm 19 and have played since red and blue first came out. Unfortunately all of my friends grew out of pokemon years ago, but that never stopped me from playing. I carry my pokewalker to college everyday and catch a few pokemon when the lectures get droll. I love pokemon and will never stop lovin it!!!

That's the kind of spirit I like to see. Once a fan, always a fan. If you like something, then enjoy it as much as you can. Don't let others hinder you from liking something. :)
 
And here I was thinking that I'm too old to be playing Pokemon. Pfft, nope. Not the case anymore. I openly admit I play. Even while I'm on Facebook, I set my status to something Pokemon related from time to time. Lol
 
The funny thing is my oldest son is older than most of you here! I am 38 and a former Marine, but I enjoy the Pokemon franchise. Well, except for DPP. I get ribbed occasionally by a few friends at work because of it, but I could care less. I really enjoy the strategic elements of the game and back in the RBY days it was a way that I could associate and interact with my sons. We even had a good neighborhood group where we used to live and hold tourneys and such. My oldest is off to college, but he is saving up to get HG. I got SS last week (or the week before) and my other two sons have dusted off their GBAs and have been playing their RSE and FRLG carts. My youngest even broke out our Silver version so he could be like dad! I will always enjoy Pokemon, but am going to be pretty disappointed if the next gen doesn't use the 2gb cart and is dramatically improved over HGSS.

Wow, that's awesome. I wanna be like that with my kids. "Hey, [insert child's name here], wanna battle me in some Pokemon?" "Alright, you're on!" Haha. That is just awesome. Kudos to you, sir. :)

Oh how wonderful! That is so adorable :)
 
I started playing when I was 7, but never actually owned one of the games until I was 9. (Too poor to buy them at the time). And now I'm 19 and I have 7 different versions. (Would had more if my old man hadn't thrown them away >.<) Wow...12 years playing these games and I still love it! ^^
