The first ever pokemon “thing” I enjoy was the first movie when I was 5 or something. Then the anime started to boom in my country (Indonesia) and of course I watch it excitedly. Then I started playing pokemon red and crystal on an emulator (original games are very rare here, even until now). And now I’m going 18 and I can’t stop loving it, even my college fans dubbed me as “Pokemon Freak” or “Walking Pokedex” and of course I’m proud of that moniker XD

For a short time i missed the revelation of gen III beacuse I haven’t got an internet access and the pokemon boom was no more here (even until now, as kids these days don’t even know what pokemon is -_-), but I quickly caught up when I saw a treecko card that i hadn’t seen before and since then I never missed a single news thanks to pokejungle and serebii 😀

I started playing Pokemon when I was 4, and I’m almost 20 now.

I started playing because I had the biggest crush on my neighbor’s older brother, and he was obsessed with the games at the time. My first game was Blue, though my favorite as a kid was Crystal when that came out. I’ve owned every main game except Gold and Silver, and I’ve got a number of the spinoff games.

…it makes me feel really, really old when I realize I’ve been playing Pokemon for longer than some of the fans have been alive.

I’m 16. My first Pokemon game was Pokemon Sapphire, though I did watch the anime prior to that. I really hate the notion that you need to “grow out” of Pokemon. If it’s an enjoyable game, why should it matter what age it is marketed to? I don’t think there’s ever been any game (or cartoon for that matter) that I have “grown out of”.

In reply to belmad. Ah I hope I didnt come off as rude then. I just see that line being thrown everywhere to create an uproar. Thats why I said I wasnt sure since it is the internet and were on a site with a good bunch of fans 18+ haha.

It sucks being a freshman in high school and being taunted for playing pokemon. But at least they don’t know I watch the anime and play the cards. Even when I’m 50 and generation 25 is out, I won’t stop. I’m a pokemon and star wars fan and I’m proud of it, speaking of it, a pokemon-star wars crossover would be great. Wampa I choose you! 🙂

Its not that the games are meant for kids, Gamefreak simply aims to make their games accessible for everybody.

Anyone can pick it up and play, with the deeper aspects being presented step by step, if one decides to figure them out.

I was actually watching a friend play Blue when I was like 8, but actually played Silver myself first and then everything on.
Now I’m 22 and still excited as ever about what new pokemon we’ll get to see towards february and later as gen VI draws closer 😀

In reply to belmad. You're being disrespectful, you can't tell me to shut up. This is not necessary. You don't beseem to this community.
