I mean that at the time it originally came out, there weren't any people I knew who were into it. It was originally marketed at younger people. I ended up with an old copy from my little brother.

Being mature does not mean not liking Pokémon

Haha! Glad someone agrees with me, tell that to alllll of my friends. :)

True, I was eleven when B/R came out in NA.

Move to Michigan, and bring all of your pokemon playing friends.

It really does. I have a friend that's practicing for the international competition.
And she's super hardcore about it. It's pretty hilarious.
We all know Articuno is the best, though.

I saw one in the Safari Zone though.
It was a Quagsire...

A single asterisk, does not a censored word make.

Guess I still have much to learn. I am only a padawan after all, master.

This Pokemon talk is reminding me that I should level up and evolve my shiny Feebas.
It took me an hour to get, and my brother spent the entirety of his summer break trying to get a shiny Raltz.
O___O Feebas is rare enough as is it! Shiny Feebas? Evolve it to Milotic and get it to 100! Serious bragging rights.

I played a little bit of Pokemon, because someone gave me an old copy, but I was never all into it. I was too old when it came out, I think, and so it wasn't a group activity for me.
I'm 23 years old, and begged my boyfriend to buy me a copy of Pokemon Black
from Japan
for Christmas.
I'd like to think of myself as mature, but I just counted my pokemon games...and there are 14 that I own. Sad life.

I think its a little sad that people seem to confuse "Adult" with "Mature"
Being an adult just means you're old. I've met many old people who behave as if they're still 5, it has NOTHING to do with what you do with your free time.
If you do "kewl" stuff like playing sports, shoot people as a soldier in real life, or plain simply play video-games, it has nothing at all to do with your degree of maturity.
Its not only perfectly possible, but in fact more common than people are willing to admit, to be mature, even as an elderly person (Who the media portrays as nothing more than whiny old coots that need to be locked up in some asylum), and still have pass-times that are more common among younger generations. Such as video-games, or puppet-shows.
Sadly, society teaches us the stigma asociated with such activities, and so, if after being 15 you still play with dolls, or video-games, or enjoy sesame street, BY LAW OF NATURE you are a nerd, a geek, a basement-dweller, eternal-virgin, and on top of that, bratty and immature.
Even
Commercials
are designed to depict us as nothing more than a bunch of tantrum-trowing bastards who need to be slapped just for breathing.
its shameful that as humans we haven't evolved past this phase.
But hey, those jocks playing hockey and beating the crap out of each other for no god-damned reason? they are the pinnacle of human perfection and manliness.
/shrugs.

Everything you say I agree with one hundred percent. It's difficult to tell that to a lot of people I associate with, even in my university. Stereotypes, especially about gamers, run rampant where-ever you go. If you're not super-macho, you're not a real man. If you're not ultra-feminine, unable to open a door for yourself and do something other than spend a man's money, you're not a real woman.
Granted, I see a lot of this at my job, where people are required to spend hundreds of dollars just to sit down, and everyone is trying to impress someone else. I'm usually the least impressed of all.
I get a lot of flack for who I am and what I like, especially at work. People are shocked to hear that I like videogames, to hear that I'm getting a degree in language, or am passionate about rock music. They try to get me to act a certain way, use men for their money, etc. etc.
But the men I associate with on a regular basis (at work, not in my personal life) I would never give a second look at. I don't want a man with money and good looks who's buff and has never read a book in his life? FOR SHAME! When did this become a standard to hold humans by in the first place? When it become better to have money and a tight body, than an intelligent mind and genuine personality? It's disgusting.
And I won't even get started on women's stereotypes...but a lot of the women I see daily perpetuate these stereotypes happily, and then complain about sexism. Okay, you're helpless, ditzy, and can't survive without a new pair of shoes every week...so don't complain the next time someone tells you women are dumb. You're partially to blame.
Anyways...I think I just went off on a slightly un-related rampant...but yes. Everything you said. Haha.
