never lol, its a great hobbie.

And that, is what it does to you.

As long as you have nothing better to do and still have good vision, then no, you are never too old to play.

I mean, what are you going to tell grandpa as his hand with the stylus is shaking so much he can't choose anything and his hand holding the DS isn't helping, not to mention his head is stuck to the screen with his oversized glasses.

I think it's time to stop if you're still playing it while you're dying.
Just play it as long as you want.

Just make sure you can still tell the diffrence between cyberspace and the real world. There are people wo can't anymore.

25+ is kind of... when you have to stop, imo. Or you'll never get a date. =/
 
I'll be too old for Pokemon when running into a shiny causes me to have a heart attack.

Funny how I don't really play the games that much or watch the show anymore, and yet I still seem to have some sort of obsession.

For me, I only play any type of game (including children's) until I die. Why does age matters, anyway? :/
 
Well, I'll be 23 next month and I'm still obsessed.

I say you're too old to play when your physical and mental health won't allow you.
ex: various mental diseases, blindness/near blindness, etc.

Let's just say I'd probably be weirded out by an eighty year old saying "Whoo mama! I finally caught that dern-*wheeze* Raikou..*hacking cough*...Where am I?"

If you still enjoy the games, just play them. My interest might be dead in this fandom, but that doesn't mean everybody is obligated to stop at my age.

So old that you lived beyond the life expectancy and your tombstone is dated one hundred years ago.

In all seriousness though, I can't ever see myself moving on from Pokemon, as I grow older I probably won't be as obsessed though.

Well, when I first started playing pokemon games people told me that I'm too old and back then I was only 12 years old. Now, 9 years later, I have noticed that some things never seem to change...

I don't think that you have to stop playing pokemon because of your age.

Wow, young kids are pretty weird now. Kids in 4th Grade should be playing stuff like Pokemon. It's normal.

Now that I'm in High School, I don't mention how I like Pokemon or Beyblade or anything. I keep my home life and my school/social life very seperate; and that's fine with me. I have enough interests in both to even it out, it's not like Pokemon is my life or anything.

I've been into pokemon for 10 years now, and I am more obsessed now than ever. I used to hide the fact that I loved pokemon during school because everyone else thought it was a kids thing, and that was when I was around 12! Now i'm 19, in college, and I proudly say that I love pokemon. I don't think there should be any idea of an age where you're too old for something. I will always love pokemon, no matter how old I am :) .
