pokemon no longer has an age limit

It seems that everyone who has a gameboy has pokemon.  Its just such a good game.  When it first came out (TV show/cards) a lot of ppl were like POKEMON IS FOR LITTLE KIDS!  but now i noe more ppl who are over 13 that have pokemon and it seems that the most interest comes from the ppl who were like 8 when red and blue came out.  Those games are so timeless and are some of the few that almost EVERYONE plays.

EDIT: almost everyone my age (14-15) that i noe with a DS already has a reservation on it

i agree with you. im 16 and im getting it might buy a ds lite to play it on too, so i don't have to take my litter brother's (12) ds who kinda laughed at me when i said im getting it.  there is no age and these games r just great. it all started like whoever said when we were like 7-8 when blue and red came out and its just like it stays with us when the new ones come out. and this wi-fi battling/trading is going to make these new ones sweet

It's really quite funny, actually. The people who are critical of pokémon are those haven't tried it/haven't played it in years.

IT's easy to say pokémon looks childish, but that's the thing. It LOOKS childish, but when you get into EVs and such, that's when you start thinking, no?

Well, I'm 31 and have a copy of Pearl pre-ordered. I've been playing since I was in my twenties and have two large boxes of collectibles from ten years ago. chiazadora

Heck, I'm 22 and, along with a few friends 16-25, I'm getting both versions coming up, too.. of course, one copy is for my 12 year old cousin, lol.

But yeah, I thought it was kiddy before.. especially being in high school, but the RPG fan in me just finds them to be awesome games.

just because you are 16, 19, 22, 31, etc does not mean you are grown up

ha, Exactly.. you may grow old, but you're never forced to grow up. :P

And, yeah. I'll take awesome looking sprites over decent looking 3D ANY day of the week. D/P looks great, though.. especially all the little doodads and features returning from GSC; what I thought to be the best group of games.

I never let other peoples opinions get in the way of letting me play a good RPG.

I'm 18 and I play Pokemon, sure I won't be getting Diamond and Pearl, but Pokemon has no age limit!

Try explaining IVs and EVs to a little kid. Try explaning complex strategy and counter-strategies, it's a very underated game of the mind, simmilar to a more complex version of chess. I play Pokemon Crystal and Pokemon Fire Red, not to mention Stadium 2 and the TCG. I am not obssessed, I do it merely for my entertainment and when I can play them, but I am sick and tired of people saying that Pokemon is for kids, alongside many other Nintendo franchises, Nintendo merely made a otherwise super complex math based game into something easy and accessible. :3

I play Pokemon. I can also drink legally.

People have pre-conceived notions of what being an adult is. Just do what you want and be yourself. If you listen only to what other people tell you, you miss out on some of the most important lessons and experiences in life.

Do what makes you happy so long as you're not hurting anyone. Screw everyone who disagrees with you.

People often forget that you cna make something seem and appear as you please, negative and positive. Regarding this thread, people try and make it seem childish often to 1.) cover up the fact they like it, and try and be "cool" (lame) or 2.) doesn't meet their taste in gaming, so they bash it (like many people you play video games today, also lame). I'm not saying thoes are the main reasons, but think of the underlying message they hold regarding most things today.

With that said, I really couldn't care what people think of the games I buy. I reserved Pokemon Diamond in front of people at my local EB, but I can't bother wasting my time on what they'll think. Chances are, they're in there buying something they might be scared of others knowing as well. I also don't think Pokemon ever had a age limit, it simply connects to what I mentioned earlier about the empty hate/avoidance ideas. If it was really meant for children, it would have an EC rating.

Im 21 and married and i still love pokemon. well im a pokemon geek.

I just love a good rpg. Now it's either Pokemon or FF on my DS.mike7677

Yeah, I agree, Pokemon maybe for kids, but some teens and adults like it too. Like they also like Naruto, Dragon Ball z, and Inuyasha

Are you kidding? Pokemon may not have an age limit but it is clearly a childish game. That doesn't mean it sucks though.

Also, no offense, but saying that the Pokemon series lost it's age limit (like it ever had one) because someone is 13 years-old is a pretty poor example for the other "mature" members escpecially when the kid was 13 years-old. so they may not take you seriously.

I'm 20 and still play pokemon on a regular basis (started when I was 10). Most of my friends who are my age also play the game and not to mention my friend's 25 year old, married with four children, boss also plays more than any of us. So yeah, the whole concept of the pokemon age limit is entirely misconstrued.
