Im in my mid 20's and have been playing Pokemon since '96. My oldest brother, 7 years older, once told me i was too old and a loser. It honestly didn't affect me. Sure it was rude, but my fascination with Pokemon doesn't influence me to do drugs, or any other deviant thing. Since my brother enjoys playing Call of Duty, I responded with "CoD is not a REAL video game". Eventually, I proved to him that Pokemon was a far superior game than CoD & CoD requires no skill, or strategy; while Pokemon, on the other hand, does.
