I'm only 23 but I know people on this forum in their 40s who still play. There is no age limit for what you love.

I'm 18 years old, and I've been playing Pokemon since I was 8, that's 10 years I've been a Pokemon fan, and probably will be for years to come.

25 and still going strong. If it's something you enjoy then you'll probably keep playing for ages.

I'm 17, and I'm playing Pokemon since i was 11. My friend (now my Boyfriend) influenced me a bit xD

I don't think you should care with that (age), really.
People should be able to do whatever they fell it good for them, as long it doesn't disrespect other people or it's bad for the society in general, and i DOUBT that playing Pokemon when you're oldie is "a horrible thing"
You know, it's just a hobbie ^^

I'm 20 and I'm playing my Soul Silver pretty heavy. I'll be playing with my children and grandchildren when they're old enough to play as well. It's been a pretty significant part of my childhood and I'm going to keep it going at least long enough to enjoy it with my kids as well, if not longer. Better for them to get into Pokemon than anything else if you ask me.

I started to like Pokemon since the anime passed in TV, when I was about 10 years old. I play Pokemon since my 12 years world, but no rpg game, just stadium 1 and stadium 2. The first time I played a version game was Gold, and I was 14 or 15 years old. I'm addicted to Pokemon ever since.

I'm a proud 18-year-old Pokémon buff. That said, I'm not content with the current state of things.

While it's true that you don't have to give up things you like because of your age, you can give them up, and many people will. And needless to say, I'm not too happy about that.

What do these post-Pokémon people do? How do they stand to just completely let go of a dream that has been with them throughout their entire childhood, never to speak of it again (ever) and in most cases abandoning it for games involving death, violence and other much more immoral pursuits?

It makes no sense.

How can I -- and my old friends -- be part of the target audience again? There has to be a way.

24 y.o. here and I doubt I'll ever stop playing definitively. I'm sure I'll be playing Pokémon on and off like I've been doing for the last 12+ years, some years more than others depending on my fluctuating interest and free time.

21 here, been playing since the very beginning when I was 8.

Don't even think about a scenario when I don't play it, but not in a defiant 'I'll play it forever!' kinda way. If it happens it happens. All I know is right now I still play it.

I'm 17 and I've been playing since I was in 1st grade. I still love it just as much as before!

I'm 19 and the first time I played Pokémon was in the 7th grade. Then I stopped when I went to high school. In the summer of my first year in college, I saw Pokémon (Advanced) was on TV, and I got hooked once again, with both the television series and the games.

I'm 28 and besides a little 3-4 year break have been playing since R/B I think as long as you still enjoy the games then play forever.
