Re: Misconception about Pokemon fans
[color=magenta]Meh, I don't think that Pokémon is childish at all. I am 21, and I like it as much, if not more than I did as a little kid. Actually, as complicated as some of the advanced training methods are getting in the games, like the personalities, abilities, EVs and IVs, etc... it almost seems like the games are becoming more designed towards an older audience.
When I went to the Journey Across America in Pittsburgh back in June, I would say the majority of the people there were at least 14-16 years old and older. There were very few kids under 10 years old, and plenty that seemed to be in their 20's. Actually there were a surprising amount of people there that had to be at least 40, and they weren't there for their kids. Actually I think that one of the winners at one of the tournaments (not the Pittsburgh one) was 40-something years old.
