What do you say when someone says you're too old for Pokemon?

[legendarypokemonmaster]

Yeah, that will only show your arrogance. You could say:
No
Yes, yes I am.
The box says up to age 99
No way, I love POKEMON!
How could you ever be too old to have fun?

Nobody's ever said that I'm too old to play Pokemon. Then again, my three best friends play, and they're all a few months older than me.
If somebody said I'm too old for Pokemon, I' just tell them, "I only play the games. I don't watch the anime. Besides, Pokemon's more complex than most people think it is."

 

[yeminied]

Random: "Trololol ur 2 old 4 porgemonzterz derp!"

Me: "Cool Story bro'."

 

[GilligBoi]

I don't care but I usually just tell em its better than drugs.

I mainly say 3 things:

1)The strategic mechanics aren't fully understandable if you're just a kid

2)People MY age are the true expert players, for most kids weren't even born when the series started. Therefore, even if the target of the regular games are kids and "elders" alike, the REMAKES are specifically meant to fulfill MY generation's nostalgia.

3)Truly well-made things are appreciable regardless of the age they're meant for

But I don't care much anyway cuz people that ask that sort of question clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

"I'm not paying you to comment on what game I am playing. Now, tits or GTFO."

 

[Kdude146]

you are never to old for anything and Pokemon is the best way to keep a pece of your chiledhood

Ive been told this many times, but the only response i use is "old habbits die hard". I started with red/blue back when they were first released and followed it all the way upto diamond/pearl, never bothered with platinum now nor black/white yet but recently ordered another ds after the last one dissapeared. Soul silver is on its way as well.

Its not really for kids when you think about it. ill be honest, when i first played Red, i got all the badges and could not for the life of me work out seafoam or victory road and thought what the hell and used my master ball on zapdos. When it comes to competitive battling (something i have yet to try properly) that is where strategy really comes in.

I really dont care what they say. There lost

Since a lot of the people I know are still into Pokemon, I normally wouldn't be told that I am too old to play/watch Pokemon. If someone does make that comment to me sometime in the future, I'd probably say that the games are awesome and remind me of the awesome childhood I had; Waking up in the morning to watch the anime, going to the mall to buy the cards and games, battling with my friends with both the games and cards, being excited when I caught a legendary in-game or found an awesome card, etc.

Of course my entire childhood wasn't just based off of Pokemon, but I sure made a lot of friends thanks to it. The games like hide-and-seek, tag and cops and robbers wouldn't have been as much fun without more friends, so it's a good thing I got into Pokemon.

 

[Sporetox]

I tell them they're too old to be an idiot.

 

[Ghostfoot]

I throw a chair at their face

 

[foxyman1167]

I tell them, I grew up with it, and its a part of my childhood.

 

[Ghostie]

The only person who ever comments on it is my dad. He claims that the only reason I still like Pokemon is because they put subliminal messages in it...
So I just laugh and keep playing my game. He doesn't know any better.

 

[Andrew1239]

stare at them for a minute, then headbutt them, and shout "[Name] used Headbutt! It's Super Effective!"

I like that idea but I might need to change a bit about it, Focus Punch instead of Headbutt for me ^_^

 

[Evilyn]

can the Call of Duty soldiers shoot fire from their mouth?

didn't think so.

 

[Miss Alexis]

Everyone has hobbies and likes of interest, and pokemon happens to be mine, if society cant accept that, they I cant accept them for being human :/

 

[BurningSociety12345543210]

Headbutt can't be super effective.........

 

[Turak]

I've had a few people ask that, primarily in high school. Now that I'm in college, especially at science and engineering college, pokemon is cool with most people again. When someone says something, I normally just brush them off.

One person said that and I knew he liked Avatar: The last airbender. So my response to him was, "Then aren't you too old to enjoy Avatar?" Then he started arguing with me for a few minutes until he realized he had just proved my point.

As someone else pointed out, with the exception of my family who just gives me a hard time, no one smarter then me has told me I was too old for pokemon.
