Well I was going on rogers.ca to find out if they had pokemonplatinum and I searched it and look what I found http://www.rogersplus.ca/game.asp?sku=379894 This really makes me angry because sure it's simple enough for kids those ages to play (I was playing at four or five, I memorized what each slot did for what attack lol) but I think it's deep enough for any age group.

They say that, probably because they have never played one.

They don't say it's ONLY for those ages. I don't see what the big outrage is, frankly.

While its true what you said. When you advertise a game saying that the age level is 6-8 (or something like that) you pass the impression that the game is a childish one. We, people from the crownd, needs everything explained carefully, as you may know what happens when you pass an ambigous information to a big crownd... Never heard of: "Who tells a tale, remove a comma to add a point?" Heh, anyway, what i mean is, they could had avoided this... how could i say... ruckus if they simply had put there "intended for all ages". There, no big deal, no harm hurt, no salesman killed.

The game is advertised to kids of that age group but I don't think they are trying to say you, as a teen or adult, can't play it and enjoy it. I still love to play some of my older Pokemon games even though I'm almost 20. Nothing wrong with that :P

they could say the same thing about stuff like mario bros. that game is easy for kids to play and understand, but it's still fun for people way older too. plus like other people say, the EV training is waht makes it fun for people who are older than the stereotypical ages.

I can't stand people who say that a games are for certain people especially and one who's over the age of ten an likes it. Anyone can like any game. Boycot them.

Don't believe what people say about Pokemon.

I agree, plus I'm in high school and I still like Pokemon but only the games, my friends like the Pokemon games as well, so there is no reason to stop liking Pokemon even though you get older.

Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if they removed the " - 8 " part and instead put " Ages: 6+ " or " 6 and above ". My friends grew up with Pokemon and they're already taking Masters Degrees and/or working. They still love it and play the games quite faithfully . It reminds them of their teen years I guess . They even got me hooked into playing the Pearl version and I'm willing to buy the Platinum .

Well..I believe what they mean is that the game is aimed more for ages 6-8 than any other age...

I know it's for everyone, but older people usually go for more mature games and pokemon is a little...childish (although I enjoy it just as much as anyone here, probably)

Pokemon is "E" for Everyone. Kids are capable of playing it. But then again, kids are capable of playing ANYTHING. "All books are childrens books, if the kid can read" Every child who plays pokemon has the same team. lvl 56 starter. lvl 10 everything else.

Don't listen to anyone who tries to judge you by what games you play.

I'm almost 17, and I enjoy Pokemon as much as I always have.

Last week, I found my Silver Version, and I played it for four hours straight:D
