Playing pokemon - How old are you?

[Dragoniss]

i'll be turning 21 in a month. Started playing in 1998 when I was 7.

It really annoys me when my parents say "why are you into Pokemon, its a kids game, I wish you would grow up and get out of Pokemon, its dumb." I wish people were more accepting of it as a video game for all ages. Kinda makes me feel like an outcast in my own home...I can't help liking a good game.

Upper-mid twenties. I've been playing since the original R/B/Y and haven't stopped. I make no apologies: and no one should have to. They're fun, well-designed games that have a social component. As our generations get older, older gamers will become much more of a norm. For now, we just get to grin and bear it (and hang out in supportive communities, like Serebii).

I'm 11 years old. Funny thing is, I have Pokemon Blue and it was made before I was born. lol Now I play Black 2. Deserves 6 out of 5 stars!

[Bunches]

I'll be 21 next month and I can't see myself stopping any time soon.

[Thriller]

How have I not broken from this stupid curse?

Oh well, I'm likely not getting Pokemon XY. So I hope White 2 will be awesome.

Gonna be 27 in June btw.

I'm 18, I see nothing wrong with liking Pokemon...

[Bisasam]

I'm 20 years old, however I only started being a Pokémon fan in 2008 when I bought Pokémon Pearl (and my first owned Pokémon game was Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team).

Oh wow seeing the results is a wake up call. Time to call it quits and move on to something else (maybe..)

[Oceanus191]

My birthday is actually today and I'm 20.

Yeah, I'm 20 and I play Pokemon.

[Lucario95]

Well, Right now ,I'm not playing pokemon because I don't have a DS or a 3DS. I miss my old times.

[Aura Guardian Ash]

I'm 20, going to be 21 next month, and Pokemon is just a symbolic figure for me during my childhood and I will never stop loving it no matter how old I get.

[pokedigijedi]

[Dragontail]

I'm 13 going on 14, and I am proud to be a Pokémon fan.

Let me just say, if these 9 year olds can play Call of Duty, I can play Pokémon.

[Fallen Icarus]

i've been playing since the 3rd gen, and recently i've gone into more of the competitive scene.

[DarkCharizard2]

Preach.

Turning 16 in a couple months, when I was 4 I'd play my sister's Blue while she was at school. First game I owned for myself was Ruby though.
I kinda quit the series after playing Diamond and went through the whole 'It isn't cool to play Pokémon' phase, but then my sister bought me Soul Silver and that really pulled me back into the series. First time playing the game I got a shiny Totodile; perhaps Elm wanted to give me a sort of 'Welcome Back' present. xD

[Bolt the Cat]

I turn 21 on Monday. Also, the age ranges are poorly chosen, there's obviously many more teenagers and young adults on this forum.

[??????]

I'm 19 and Pokemon X&Y has me so f*cking hyped you have no idea

I should be over it by now but...X AND Y DAMN CHESPIN IS AWESOME

[Adrexus]

I'm 20, turning 21 in April. I was thinking earlier, "Man, am I still going to be playing Pokemon when i'm forty? Because that's going to feel kind of weird." If the franchise is still around and kids are still playing pokemon, then I am going to go around challenging little kids to pokemon battles and destroying their team of legends.

[Cheez Puf]

I'm 20, been playing since the first generation.

I'm right there with you.

POKEMON TILL I DIEEEE!!!

[Ace Of Keys]

22 years old. glad to see I'm not the only one in my age group still playing the game

[Pokedawn.Cu.CC]

LoL! I am still uder 20. Why not have a 100+? LoL!

[Iris Mist]

I'm 28, almost 29, and I have no plans on quitting the game anytime soon

[Yata]

I'm 22, been playing since Red and Blue came out. The anime may be hype for little kids, but the Games provide some of the most complicated strategy and monster raising gameplay IMO.
