heck no, you should never do what people think you should be doing but what you like. as long as it doesnt break laws or affects others :p in my country people criticize me if I play mario galaxy cause ´its for kids` and I´m 24 :) but do think I care what people think?

I'm 21 and getting gold today. You just gotta be ballsy and do it. And maybe put a preorder down on a bloody M rated game alongside it.

you should not be embarrased to admit you like them either :p I wish I could get them to, but I dont have my ds. que lastima :(

You are never too old for any games!
Just have fun,ignore what others say,just because they cant get to enjoy it!

You're actually young for Pokemon.
Pokemon really started to be popular between 1998 and 2000.

You were probably too young for it at that time.

People between 18 years old and 24 years old are still in love with Pokemon and a lot of them still buy the games (including me!).

The games themselves are not for kids at all. Like people said before: You are never too old for Pokémon.

Screw what the world thinks of your nerd hobby. I am 36 and play the S#!t out of Mario, Zelda and other cartoony Wii games.

People can say I should play HD hardcore mature games but I would remind them of how many more women i have been with that they could never ever get with their "Achievements".

Do what you want.

Funny story, I went to buy it and when I was asking the clerk for pokemon gold two twelve year olds were talking about how cool gears of wars was.

No, never, well it depends, if you only play it or also watch the tv show and buy toys and things like that xD.

It'd be a different story if you were 40 years old and still playing Pokemon or the card games and cruising the stores looking to pick up kids.

"Why don't you have a seat over there?"

Yeah go with this guy. The only thing thats really childish and Pokemon is the cartoon, watch it now and youll wonder why you ever liked it when you were a kid.
