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

I'd probably agree, but at the same time, I'd tell them that it's none of their ****ing business what I play.

I get asked this alot. But mainly nobody from my school knows. Just my family and my cousins who I play it with. I'm going to be in college soon and still playing but I dont care. I'm not going to stop just because someone thinks I'm too old. I have been playing since Yellow and Blue version and i have bought every other gen since. I will still be playing it years to come. I'm 17yrs old and still playing btw.

I just tell them that MLP is more popular with adult males than little girls, then call any possible argument they have invalid.

I say, "Your face," and walk away to play Pokemon.

Shrug and go eh. There's people older than me who are still crazy about it. A lot of people still have kid interests, and there's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't prove how mature you are or not.

I say, "Age is a state of mind!"

*instantly becomes 77* Yeah, I feel old. My back hurts all the time.
 
Saying 'you dont still play? then you had a rather corrupted childhood...'

its really not their concern.
i usually ignore them, sad they will never know how epic pkemon is.
i then mutter under my breath the game is created and tested by full grown japanese geniuses so ur argument is invalid.

I don't think it really matters. You're never too old/young for video games

The only time I ever tell people I play Pokemon is either if I know they play it, or if they're nerds and play other video games ritualistically. So usually I never get people telling me I'm too old for it...

I tell them that I've never let my age get in the way of doing what I want to do.

If they have a problem with it, then that really sucks for them, because I couldn't care less about their opinion. \o/
