Why do people say you are a baby if you still have pokemon stuff over the age of 11?

People that I go to school with have a problem with others who like pokemon. Why do they do that? You could be a very popular kid and you still like pokemon you will become deserted. Why?
 
That is a good idea, and it is what I do but my friend does whatever I do and she took her cards to school and she was made fun of.
 
I'm 17 now and still like the whole idea of it, but it really is much too kiddish on the anime and thats the problem as people see that before the game, if ever

People just simply don't have taste. My friends and I, when we were young, used to really love Pokemon and Digimon, but then they all grew out of it, all except for me. I still love Digimon the most, but I still love Pokemon.

EDIT: People don't just love the shows because they're baby shows. They're just good shows.

People think Pokemon is babyish because when it was really popular, all they saw was people younger than you play it, and it made no sense to them, so they naturally assumed it's babyish. I feel for you, I hate it when people call Pokemon/Anime/Video Games babyish. Well, Video Games like Sonic anyways. ^_^

Just ignore them. It's not liked you are going to get shanked or something like that, is it?

....Togetic, That....Actually, I'm not sure if that makes sense with our current topic or not. Can you post something useful instead? Thanks. ^_^

....And why the quadruple post?
 
I never liked digimon I have always like pokemon, but then again I don't like, well truth I hate Ash. So I just like to collect the movie with MEW in it plushies, and card, and I want to see the episode with TUCKER in it. HE IS A GUY AND NOT GAY!!!!! Sorry random.

Dude, please delete one of your posts.

I am the only kid in my whole grade who likes Pokemon, so I feel with you. Most people look only at the anime (which is directed towards kids) and judge it on that.

One of the hardest things for teens now are for teens who like Pokemon and they are picked on about it.
 
NEVER DOUBLE POST!!! BAD LUCK!!! CAN'T HANDLE!!! EVERYTHING AROUND ME CLOSING IN!!! WALLS DARKING!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *off topic*

I just think that the way the show is animated and the way they act makes it look baby-ish as well. Like, the newer stuff that older people like, there are usually cursing and swearing and such. Pokemon doesn't really have much like that. They see it once and they think its stupid, they don't try to find the story behind it. ((I can't believe you don't like Digimon, by the way. :p))

There just quick to judge. They didn't really get real deep with pokemon until they actually expirence it themselves.

Tell them off or ignore them, either one.

People simply don't know what they're missing out on! Pokemon can be appreciated by a wide variety of audiences, regardless of age. If people are going to alienate you for just because of that, then that's because they're not mature enough.They don't know any better. Heck, Sesame Street is aimed at children, is considered baby-ish, and yet there are people who enjoy Elmo and the Cookie monster. Same thing.
 
My friend would really yell at them and tell them off. My sister is afraid of her.
 
Yes, well, odds are, they used to like it too but simply either grew out of it or were pressured into quitting. I remember saying a dumb joke in the 6th grade about two Voltorbs and a Diglett or something and everyone laughed. The catch? This was in a guy's locker room, full of all sorts: your nerds, your jocks, etc.

Pokemon is undeniably a phenomenon of the generation, whether one wants to admit it or not. Unfortunately, the show and hype of "cute" Pokemon is probably what did it in for most folks. The influence of society, aka peer pressure, is enough to distract most people from a solid, engrossing game.

And in truth, Pokemon is a good game and one which has evolved over the years into an even better one. And if players don't like the bells and whistles of the newer games, they've probably still got an old RBY cartridge lying around gathering dust and just waiting to be popped into a game boy. It is developing into a globally competitive game, especially with the nearing online applications, and it's a shame that the field of competition has thinned out due to such unfortunate circumstances.

And yet, when that tough guy you know is in his fiftees and his grandkids are begging for those newfangled "Efenectromons," he'll tell them, "Back in my day, we had Pokemon. Good ol' Pokemon. Got. To. Catch. Them. All."
