No, you're in no way too old, silly :3
I'm 18. In fact I'm about to go to EBGames and get the Celebi event for my Diamond, SS, and HG. Love pokemon. It is one of the Greatest strategy games of all time. In disguise though. So shhhhhhhhhhh!

Agreed
and if you look at some of the themes of Pokemon it becomes quite dark and sinister: its a series all about kids quiting school to go out and pouch wild animals. they catch them and keep in small containers, only letting them out so they can be forced to fight in what is basically a cock fight with super powers.
also theres gambling.
Lol, It's kinda funny
It was the same year that Diamond and Pearl came out, and collectively pretty much the entire Senior Class came to the conclusion at the same time that since we where already at the top of the Social Food-chain, we could get away with playing it since there wasn't anyone left to ridicule it.
My friends and I have been buying each version since then even now that we're in college.
One other fun little factoid is that I never actually STOPPED playing the pokemon games, and a have actually beaten at least one game of every generation. I just played everything from the original Gold and Silver, to the last of the GBA ones (The Red and Blue Remakes) at home and never in public, lol.
So, take it from another 21 year old gamer, your NEVER to old for pokemon.

Oddly enough while that comic is for the most part true, I actually got back into Pokemon Senior Year of High School.Justin Tarrant said:This.Urgh76 said:Perfect, absolutely perfect.Worgen said:

Hey the rating on the box says 3+ you fit into the plus catagory perfectly fine heh
Honestly I just wouldnt worry, they are fun games, and this is coming from someone who is 24 and has planned with a friend of his to go out on release day and pick up black version while he picks up white and is fairly pumped over it.
They are fun games and deep RPG's even if they may be wrapped up in a sometimes deceptivly kiddy packaging.

It's sad that you're asking that question.ANImaniac89 said:
Personally, as a trainer since the release of Gen 1 and having bought every game to date on it's release date, I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Who cares how old you are? Pokémon is certainly not only a children's game. Not one bit. Besides, we are the generation in which Pokémon was born. If anyone should be playing the games, its us. We are the Pokécraze generation. We are the ones who woke up super early to watch the anime. We are the ones who brought our gameboys to school and "used the restroom" in order to get a little more time with our Pokébros. We are the ones who bought pop-tarts with pokéball and pikachu sprinkles, and cereal with pikachu marshmallows.
This is our franchise! You should be proud of it! You should be proud to be a trainer. Wear your pokéwalker out in public! Play your DS while waiting in line for movies!
And when the day comes, March 8th will no longer be considered just a day, but as the day when trainers far and wide declared with one voice,
"WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT! WE'RE GOING TO TRAIN ON! WE'RE GOING TO BE THE VERY BEST!"
For on that day, we celebrate Black and White's release day!
I still play and I'm 18. First generation player here. BUt its not weird. as long as you still enjoy it, you shouldnt feel weird about it, cause you like the game (i'm going to assume) and thats all that matters.
I'm twenty-three and my mother just shipped me Pokemon: Platinum down to Sydney for my birthday. 'Nuff said.ANImaniac89 said:
The first game I owned was Pokemon: Blue Version, actually. I still have it.
