Welcome to PC, Skyward Alchemist! I'm at the same age as you, actually. But I wasn't into Pokemon till I was 8 years old, though. I started with the anime, then the games, then the TCG. Today, I'm still quite obsessed with Pokemon, and I'm still have that 8-year-old child inside of me. :) Like you, I prefer the classic Pokemon (the movies, the anime seasons, etc.) So it's good to see someone that still likes the older generations of Pokemon. Here at PC we have other members that prefer the same thing. :3
You should check out the General Pokemon Gaming discussions, as you'll find other members talking (and remembering) the older generations. There are a ton of topics for you to choose from, and be prepared to go on memory lane. xD I know everyone has different opinions about each part of Pokemon, so I'm very certain GPGD is a great section for you to check out. :D
Well, in the meantime, check out the other sections we offer here, and I hope you have a wonderful time here ok! You can always go ahead and PM me if you like...if you have any questions & stuff. I'm always available. :D See ya!
