Who feeling /old/ here?
I was reasonably young when I got into pokemon, but now I keep seeing people in their teens who say they're fans of the series but don't remember gen 1 coming out, or even gen 2.
Hell, saw someone the other day posting about D/P as their first games.

Dude you're telling me man. I'm 24 but remember getting a GBC and Red as a kiddo for Christmas. It always makes me happy inside to see kiddos wearing pokémon shirts though, makes me remember how ecstatic I used to be simply playing Pokemon. Now I just play them because they're what I grew up with.
Go back to bed gramps
>people who were 10 when Black and White came out will be allowed to post here legally next year

I feel old here.
And I hate this place.
But I'm addicted to /vp/ and I return here everyday.

I am also 24.
I couldn't afford gen 1 but used to borrow my neighbours blue version for months at a time lol. I remember getting my GBC and Gold for Christmas in... 2000? Magical time. It's great that kids are still into it, but fuck I never really considered that I'd feel like this.
>I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" was

I felt old when I was waiting in the front of a movie theater playing my Moon version while waiting for the movie time when a kid came to me asking about the game and he looked pretty surprised when I said that I play Pokémon since Gen I.mfw i got caught playing pokémon in public
I've watched all of classic doctor who
I am frightened that one day saying I've been a fan since gen 1 will be like meeting some old guy who says he's been watching doctor who since 1963.
I'm 23 but feel like pokemon was always a part of my life. My bro hoarded his copy of red so I got gen 2 as my first.

Should clarify. I don't remember pokemon releasing. Some of mu earliest memories are of watching the cartoon.
Don't complain, /vp/. I'm 31.

I thought I was the only one that age around here.
Still loving it as much as I did since R(G)BY.
>>31969382
Gen 1 sucked, its only value is as a novelty.
I was 14 when the first Japanese copies of Green and Red were released. Stood outside Nintendo Co just to get a copy.
And you faggots think you're old?..

Same here man. Though I have to say, I never expected it to last this long. Cheers
>tfw getting pearl at age 6 will be legal in a year

Feels good to have lived through Pokemania and survived. RIP to all my friends who dropped the series at GS.

OP most of this board consists of those teenagers
why do you think there's all those autists that overrate crystal and emerald? it's because they started with it and hgss just isn't hipster enough

i dropped it after gen 2, then came back for gen 6 when i realized my life was over and i had lots of time to kill and was curious what happened to the series, how it was still going etc

>Who feeling /old/ here?

>born 1998
>born after gen1

>People who are 24 feel old
I'm 34. Didn't really get into Pokemon until Ruby and Sapphire came out though.

I'm 26, have been playing since R/B were released and Crystal is still my second favorite Pokemon game after SS
I was 8 when RB launched in the US, and I miss the hell out of Pokemania. I moved a couple of years later, and my old friends gave me cards and Tomy figures and stuff as going away presents. I still have all of it, btw. Then Gen II helped me make friends in my new neighborhood and new school. Good times, good times. The 20th anniversary last year made me reflect on just how much impact this series has had on my life, and for how long. I'm turning 27 at the end of the month.
why do you think people get so pissy here about Gen 1 pandering, yet constantly beg for gen 3/4 shit? /vp/ and online pokemon discussion in general have filled with newfans for at least a few years now.
