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

[Blackjack the Titan]

Like ^

i just say it'll pass.
They don't bother me, besides, I never play it around the public.

 

[BlazingCold]

Same, I hide my games so nobody can find them, never play in public (other then airports and airplanes) so, yeeah.

 

[UltimatePokemonExpert]

I don't care. I don't kill people, I don't steal, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't go out partying and having sex and being stupid like other people my age. Is it so wrong to just want to relax and play some pokemon?

 

[ShadowGuy]

When someone says I'm too old to play pokemon, I would challenge them to a pokemon battle if they play pokemon too (And hope to win). If they don't play Pokemon, I would say that they are missing out on a lot and walk away.

It's the mature people who can utilize Pokemon to the fullest! Not the 10 year olds who hack Arceus' and call every other pokemon trash.

 

[Blue Snover]

When someone says I'm too old for pokemon, I let the game speak for itself. By slapping them upside the head with my DS.

I like your style.

Why didn't i think of doing that?

How clever.

So I'm new to the forum but I had to comment. My wife actually made fun of me a little bit when I got back into the game after I hadn't played for about 5 years. After accidently dropping the word at work that I was playing again I have actually got about 4 of my coworkers to pick up the game. So where I was once ridiculed I have actually converted many people who thought it was a "kids" game just by telling them the strategy that goes into building a team.

 

[Drass]

I just laugh and go back to playing. If they stick around and keep bugging me i just ignore them.

 

[Ice Blue Dragon]

^Reported, I try not to let anyone know I play pokemon. When they do say I'm too old for pokemon, I ignore them.

 

[Demonsead]

Laught at their ignorance and by one my way.

 

[Aura Of Twilight]

I roll my eyes and tell them to leave me alone. Then I laugh at their reactions.

 

[aurasageluke]

There was a guy, my friend, who told me once, when he saw me, and said, "Aren't you too old for Pokemon?" I looked at him, shook my head, and turned back to my game. He laughed at me and said, "How's Low Sweep hit a bird?" I then used Low Sweep on him and said, "It's Super Effective on you." The funny part is that he wants to be part of the airforce Lol

 

[unstopable373]

When they tell me that, I say I don't like the violent games and I can't just have basketball in "my little world".

Plus, I think we all have a little kid inside us, so in that case it's ok to go back to what we cherished in our childhood.

 

[aurasageluke]

Competitive play. Nuff said. How many "Little Kids" will u find at middle lvl?

 

[StarBP]

he'd say: Aren't you a little old to be playing pokemon?
I'd say: Yes, yes I am.

and youd say the same if they asked about phineas and ferb?

I don't care about what Ash does.

my avatar takes offense at that

Alternatively 2, stare at them for a minute, then headbutt them, and shout "[Name] used Headbutt! It's Super Effective!"

ya but headbutt is never super effective lol

I don't care. I don't kill people, I don't steal, I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't go out partying and having sex and being stupid like other people my age. Is it so wrong to just want to relax and play some pokemon?

likey!

 

[EzzPeon]

Not many people know I play Pokémon, but I just shrug it off when someone says that. They clearly don't know that there's more to this game.

 

[Eranu™]

I don't pay attention to people who say that.
as ezzpeon said there is more to the game then people think.

 

[abrar14]

Nobody knows i play pokemon apart from my family but they don't really mind.

 

[Emolgafan99]

I say "I play Pokemon when I want to and nobody can tell me what to do except for god.".If some guy says "Don't play that game it's from the devil!" since that stuff has been going around in school I say "Where's your proof?" if that person shows me the bible I say "How did they know?".

2 of my friends keep on saying Pokemon is from the devil and is made to distract people, if the comes up again I'll say "then they would make the games WAAAAAAY more addicting and every person you see would be talking about it and have their faces shoved into their DS"
