[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="shadow_hosi"] feel shame in what? playing a fun game?Jaysonguy

They used to be fun games IMO, but now I stopped playing them years ago, and I'm turning 21 on Feb. 9th. I used to like Pokemon, now I don't anymore.

That's fine that you don't like the same things anymore, not everyone's tastes stay the same.

If you were doing it only because of your age I'd say you have bigger issues to deal with, in your case that's not what happened (as you presented it)

It's not really about age, or is it, it's the gameplay, it doesn't even evolve/change much, it needs more than Wi-Fi and team battles to stay fresh, I don't know, too many same games just isn't a good thing for me.

I doubt I'm the only one that has the same view on it.. I bet if you went into a pub and asked everyone in there if they played pokemon, no one would say yes trust mePS_John

Way to pick a demographic that's nothing to do with the subject matter?

If you were to poll gamers (OMG almost like what's going on here) you'd find that people do play Pokemon without thinking of their age

What can I say?

Have self esteem, will travel

Yeah, so you just don't like it's direction (or lack thereof)

Its one of the best RPGs on DS.

Even though its kiddy, as long as I enjoy RPGs I'll continue playing it 25+ Though I admit, I wish Nintendo would broaden its target audience for Pokemon. Just based on some of the aspects from the game, you can tell Nintendo doesn't want anyone over 12 playing it.

I grew out of Pokemon in my teens. I played Red/Blue and Stadium on the N64. Cool games but the big hype after that never caught me.

Not anymore, I would go back to it, but as of now, I don't see that happening.

I don't play them anymore since they got stale a few years back, but i can see why people over 25 would play them, cause if you think about it they are like the perfect handheld games, simple, fun for little bursts yet addictive, cheery and happy, the kind of games you'll want play when on a train or a public bus or whatever.

He didn't even use the " " to limit the results to that phrase... isn't Pokemon published by 4kids... I bet that shows up a lot in the Pokemon kids search.

Pokemon is hands down the best handheld game. I can see people no playing it anymore. A lot of people think that they may have out grown it, but it probably is just a simple matter of their change in travel patterns. As most would rather play a console game at home, others if the travel time is long enough, will likely be playing a handheld. So if your travel is short, then chances are that you will not play pokemon. Having said this, a Pokemon Gold/Solver/Crystal remake would be the most amazing game ever

I'm only 16 but I still play Pokemon. I mostly only do because my older brother is REALLY into WiFi and bothers with all these move sets, EV training, etc. Then I just use PokeSav and make a party. It's a damn fun game though playing against friends if you all have high level pokemon, and people who bash it because it's targeted at little kids... Man, open your eyes a bit!

IMO, Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal were the last great Pokemon games, after that, I didn't care too much for the series anymore.

Wow the sheep are coming back to SW :o

I think people in Japan may still play it, not sure though.

But it doesn't matter to me, since Pokemon has been dead to me ever since they went over 151 pokemon. The good old days when Mewtwo was the most powerful pokemon there was...

valid point, but not to say that the successors are not good. Emerald was fun, and Diamond brought my dreams alive by adding online battling. Unfortunately i admit that i have not been playing pokemon that much lately, but once Platinum releases in America, then i will get it

Ok, you know how screwed up a world would be with only 151 animals in it? lol

That's something I could never understand

Pokemon are supposed to be the animals of the world, that means they have billions of options available

Keeping the number so low seems creepy

I find it amazing people formed enough of an attachment to 151 sprites to consider adding more a travesty.:roll:

Well im about 5 years off, but i still play pokemon. age doesn't really have a lot to deal with what you enjoy. In fact pokemon is a extremely competetive scene. if you haven't heard of IV's and EV's, then you don't know pokemon.

Really a gamer will game to what ever his/her interest is in. the industry simple isn't that old (only what? 30 years tops?)

Stadium was awesome.
I loved those mini-games.
