Obsolete: How old are you, Pokémon Fans? (Once more from the top)

[LavenderCase]

27, still like Pokemon. Since 1999.

 

[Bulbatwo]

1994, I'm happy to see there are even older people who are Pokémaniacs.

 

[InfiniteBakuphoon]

23... born in 1993. That means that I've been a fan of Pokémon for about two-thirds of my life now!

On another note, I was honestly rather surprised to see the sheer variety of ages here (including 30+ somethings!), and not small numbers of each, either. I guess that proves that you can never be too old to be a Pokémon fan, huh?

[Eggseggseggseggs]

I'm 20 now. Born in 1996. I played a few pokemon games when I was was a really young kid but not to completion. I only beat around 3 gyms at most in any of them. My older brother let me play his gen 1 and 2 games. Then one day years later when I was visiting my cousin's house he let me play his gen 3 game. I think R/S/E (probably Emerald cause I think I was fighting in the Battle Frontier). I was hooked and really wanted Emerald when I left, then at christmas I was a very a lucky and happy kid when my aunt had given me Pokemon Emerald as a gift. I've been a huge fan and playing the games every since then. It's the first game series I really fell in love with.

25 now. If anything I've become more into Pokémon rather than growing out of it...
Even though I played Blue first, in 2000, and Gold shortly after, I still have the strongest connection with Ruby for some reason. Probably because I didn't have access to a certain glitch from Gen 1, and I was forced to play the game properly from start to finish. Yet I also really love Gen 5. Just so awesome. Weird to be nostalgic about 2011/2012.

 

[Gligarman]

I'm 31, I still watch the anime, and I've legitimately completed the current Pokedex. As a fan I'm pretty sure there's no going back now.

 

[StitchyTwitch]

I was born in December 1990 so I'm 25 now, approaching 26. I had a few experiences with Pokemon growing up, very briefly played either Red or Blue on the Game Boy but I wasn't much of a gamer at that age (I actually feel guilty about that now) and saw the first movie in the cinema. Didn't really get into the series until I was 16 when Diamond first came out and I've pretty much been hooked ever since.

I was born in July 1996 so I'm 20 now. I started with the anime and collecting and trading the cards with my brother. He had Pokemon Yellow and I would constantly erase his save file, because my slightly autistic 4 year old brain could not understand that the game could only handle one save. Over the years I would drop the cards and eventually the anime though I did continue to watch almost every movie that came out up until the Rise of Darkrai. In early 2013 I played an emulator of Pokemon Crystal, and Yellow (though i only finished Crystal), this got me back in the franchise, along with the DP anime. After getting Soulsilver that solidified my place in Pokemon again, and when I really befriended this guy who loved Pokemon, (we also ended up dating for a year and a half) I grew to love it even more.

[Kagami]

I was born in 1993 and am 23. I started watching Pokemon in 1998 and still feel very young at heart and realize 23 is still young anyway. I am confident and happy with my hobbies and will love anime and anime related games/merchandise for a very long time and that includes Pokemon!

 

[ChimeraNell]

1984! So 32 and corrupting my 3 kids. I enjoyed the show, manga, card game and dabbled with the other games.

It's so nice that it has become mainstream.

 

[Silver Sneasel]

1987, turned 29 last November. I dunno if I will have kids, but if it happens, I´ll surely teach them the wonders of Pokémon.

 

[Syrinaris]

I was born ten months after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Lyndon B. Johnson was president.

Go research it, I'm not telling you.

I was born 10 months after Gary Anderson missed a kick.
