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

[GeminiAngel87]

I am 28 turning 29 in a few months and got into Pokemon from the anime, which led me to get my first Pokemon card which was a Ponyta, and that led me and my brother getting the original Gold and Silver games one Christmas along with our Gameboy color's (mine was Purple ). I am still a huge Pokemon fan till this day and I'll pretty much continue to be for the rest of my life.

Turnin' 25 next month, I remember getting Blue and Red for Christmas with my brother, starting the life long addiction! :3 I was pissed because he got Red and it had Scyther

 

[Lizard]

2002. My year sucks.

 

[curiosity]

On the contrary, Lizard, '2002' is a palindrome, the coolest kind of numbers.

I was born in 1981, so I'm 34. My brothers started playing Pokemon when it first came out, when we were kids, but I was not allowed.

So I started playing last year and love it.

I am turning 19 later this year, but of course I am currently 18 years, got into Pokemon after seeing the Pokémon Master Quest opening when I was 6, on the WB Block.

20 turning 21 next month. I started liking pokemon since I could remember. My older sister owned both blue and red but I was too young and dropped red outside of the window. Now I own X , white, and AS.

1992 for me. I remember when Gen 1 first started becoming a thing. It was the coolest thing kids my age had ever seen. I remember them publishing lists of all the original 151 in kids' magazines, and I remember seeing VHS tapes of some of the episodes. Not long after it came out, my parents got my siblings and myself Pokémon Stadium and a Transfer Pak and an N64 for Christmas. We each got one of the first three Gameboy games too. I got Pokémon Yellow. It was amazing. I wasn't able to get a Gen 3 game at any point, and the only Gen 4 game I got was Soulsilver, but I do have at least one game from every other generation. I love Gen 6, but I'll always be a Johto/Kanto guy at heart. That was my childhood.

 

[Gengarzilla]

21, turning 22 in July.
I got Blue when I was young, never made it far because I sucked so hard, stopped playing, missed Gen II and most of Gen III, got back into the series with Blue Rescue Team, the rest is history.

 

[conqueror]

I'm 25 years old (born late 199o). I started pokemon on 2000 when my parents bought me the Blue version of the game. Then, I bought Yellow and in 2001 Gold and Silver. I kept playing pokemon until 2005 (the Crystal version all this time) and then I stopped I didn't have free time anymore (basketball and school together)! After this 7-year gap, I started again 4 years ago (2012), when I bought Black (the improvements of the gameplay was a shock for me and I stuck again with the game and I keep buying and playing all the main pokemon games since then (B2W2, XY and ORAS). I can say that the last 4 years I'm way more into pokemon than the first years I was playing!!!

[ToddMann10000]

1986 I turned 30 last month.
Ive been playing since Leaf Green/Fire Red. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

 

[Epic-Ash-Fan]

Glad to see I'm not the only 30 year old here. I was born in 1985. Discovered the pokemon anime at around 12. It was awesome then and it's awesome now!

 

[PokeTrainerTipp]

1986. Started playing Blue version back in the day and have been a fan (borderline obsessed) since.

 

[Felly]

I thought I had responded to this thread forever ago, but apparently not. :/ I voted in the poll already though.

I was born in 1994 though. Currently 21 years old, but I'll be turning 22 at the end of this month.

 

[Jolty94]

I'm 22, so born 1994. Started with Blue and Yellow simultaneously 'cause I think me and my brother had all three.

 

[MrMeowPuss]

I'm now 28 (1988) and been into Pokemon since it first launched. Where I live we actually got the Anime before the games so I had always thought that was the original media, not the games. I have quite a few friends my age who are still into Pokemon, but not as obsessed as me

It was like that too in the US by a couple of months.

It's great to be able to say we've been here since the beginning of the franchise right!

I'm 26 this year I remember watching it around the time it first started airing in the uk it was one of my favourite shows I use to Imagine it was real and I could start my own journey with my very own Pikachu but when I got a bit older I started going of it worried I would be mocked for watching a little kids show but then I got back into it around dp I was really starting to struggle mentally and I found watching old shows like Pokémon helped in some ways and I been watching it on and of with some of my other childhood classics ever since
