    For me it's something that brings me back to being a kid. It's not my life and I'm not addicted to it, I just play Pokemon Go when I'm walking somewhere for fun and I've been rewatching the anime from the beginning the last couple of months.

    Well it doesn't look like Pokemon is stopping anytime soon at this rate so your children will likely get to experience it also. It's amazing how some shows I and some of us watched as children, like Pokemon, Power Rangers, Spongebob, etc are still alive and kicking today.

    Well, since you only mentioned Anime I'm assuming that's all this refers to. I didn't get into the Anime until I was around 14, but when I did, I pretty much instantly loved it. I'm not hyper obsessed with it, but when it's on, I definitely watch it. It makes me happy and is something fun to pass the time. I also learn a bit more about certain Pokemon (plus it helps me with pronunciation, haha)

    Pokemon for me is Chess with deep mechanics and 721 pieces.

    I love it, strategic gaming is what I'm all about and my love for strategic gaming stemmed from pokemon.
    It's also an outlet for my overactive imagination. As Colours said above, I'm not very interested in the Anime, Cards, or various merchandise, but if you get me to start talking about playing the video games, it's sort of hard to get me to shut up about them. lol

    It's also one of the few video games I can play competitively and not be frustrated from losing. I'm not really sure why, most other competitive games I play irritate me when I lose, but for some reason, losing a competitive pokemon battle never bothers me, in fact often times I really enjoy it, especially when it allows me to learn something about my own team that I didn't realize before. Pokemon for me is a competitive game that is both exhilarating and relaxing.
