I'm a 19 year old girl and still love pokemon. iiin?

I love all the Pokemon games and have been playing since the original R/B/Y. I recently bought the new version and also enjoyed it greatly. But most of my friends find all this stupid and childish. Am I being been stuck in my childhood for too long?

  • Why would playing pokemon be stupid and childish? It's a good game and those games bring in lots of money. My first pokemon game was red and some kid stole it from me. I was so angry. Anyways don't listen to them and continue enjoying pokemon games.

    I'm a 20 year old girl who just started playing the old pokemon games because I never bothered when I was young, and holy shit I was missing out.

    If you enjoy a game, at any age, please play it. I'm 26, married, and I still game avidly. Mind you it's mostly Battlefield, or Fallout, but I was playing Pokemon Pearl a few months ago.

    Seriously, it's no worse then the ton of people that play (played?) farmville, ranging from 5 to 85 years old.

    Me and an old girlfriend had a Gengar obsession. I still love that guy and every time I see him, I remember the good times.

    Everyone should retain an area of their life which is child-like. Without it, you're just a dull soon-to-be corpse who only cares about filing taxes and damp-proofing courses and topping up that pension. People need to have fun because so much of adult life is really not fun.

    I honestly don't think there is or there should ever be a problem when doing something you like. Whatever it is, if you like it .. And enjoy it... Practice it.
    My support 100%

    As LONG, as you don't let it take over your life,. You know? :)

    I'm in my late teens and I still play them. I have some of the cards too, but I never really learned how to play them. I also play the spin-offs like mystery dungeon. I'm the same way with Digimon. Pokemon is for all ages and a classic. Don't be ashamed of it:)

    I prefer the old pokemon. In the 3rd grade i use to collect the cards, even had a pikachu backpack and when you'd press its hand it'd say Pikachuuuuu. Keep on being a poke fan :D

    • Me either. I always thought the idea of the cards were sort of lame but I enjoyed watching the guys in my school play it...they were always filled with fiery passion. :)

    • Oh really? Then perhaps I should stop playing Dead Space, Soul Calibur, Tekken, Uncharted series and GTA too?

      Seriously the only one sounding even remotely kid-like is you sweetie.

      • I know it's random but I recalled you saying Dead Space and I remembered it was on this post. I just finished Dead Space Extraction and I found it to be a great game, except when you tried to pick up an audio log on the floor and the damn camera moves before you can grab it. I kinda got a little shiver at the very end. I'm about to start Dead Space 2 and I can't wait to see what will happen.

        And I agree with you about the little kid above your post.

        Pokemon is targeted towards 8 year olds. GTA and Halo aren't.

        • I didn't see the label on the packaging saying that it was solely targeted at them? Must have missed the part where it said I can't still like something cause I'm older than the target audience...

          You can feel free to respond to me but don't expect me to waste anymore time on you, I have a Ampharos to train.
