Giving up pokemon?

I'm flabbergasted!
I did and came back. To this day I think of quitting
I've quit and come back numerous times. I sometimes get bored waiting between releases of the main series, for example, after playing Platinum I was put off for a while, but then HG/SS came out and I was hooked again. I got Black and my obsession came back with a vengeance XD
Also, I've given the Sinnoh games another try since then and they're not as bad as I thought them to be originally.

I quit playing about 2 years ago when I got addicted to animal crossing for some reason... recently my friend got me back into it and i made an account on here... I'm hooked again. xD
although I regret missing all the events... I could've had an arceus, shaymin and many others, but NOOO, pokemon was "boring". ;-;

I did consider quitting and decided not to buy B/W since it looked retarded from my point of view. But then I played it and realized, "Who am I kidding? I love pokemon!" Don't let peers make the decision for you, only if you legitimately want to quit, trust me. I know had I not bought White I would've regretted it.

That is a statement true to pokenerds to Britney Spears
I don't think I've ever actually quit, but rather just gone on a hiatus. I tend to fall out 4 or so months after a new games release, and come back with the next release.
I'll probably end up lasting longer after B/W's release, though, as I've found the competitive aspect of the game. I just love the strategicness that comes with it.

Sometimes I would get discouraged from playing because of all the emphasis on competitive battling, EV/IV training, and event only legendaries, which I'm not interested in.
But I've stopped caring about those things now, and I play to please myself, and catch the Pokémon I like.
I don't EV train my team, too much of a hassle for me, personally. Good for you if you do though

I done that when I was crazed big fan of Katy Perry
but now I'm not a big fan of her, so I went back to Pokemon :3

I quit for a year after I "finished" Diamond but then I got White on the released date and got HeartGold two weeks ago.
I do, after Crystal I never play pokemon until DP, then for some reason I quit pokemon again until HGSS (it like, 2 year)

Winning, Duh!
I quit not long after platinum, but I got back in when B/W came out. I dusted off the old Gameboy Advanced, and got back to Gen III

Never, at least not recently, have I thought "Maybe I'm getting way to old for Pokemon, and should quit?" Nothing and no one can make me quit such a beautiful franchise!
