Is it normal for my 19 year old sister to still play pokemon?

I occasionally play and I'm a bit younger, but she always plays it to relieve stress. She won't touch the newer games, only the GBA ones. I don't mind it, and I think stuff like this comes back to you in college/university, but I'm just curious on your opinions. xD

    I've been playing it since it first came out in '98 and I am now 21. My husband has also been playing it since it came out and he is 28.

      I'm in the same boat as you. 15 years of my life has been dedicated to Pokémon.

    It's OK to be a nerdy adult.

    Yes because those are one of the best games. I play it too sometimes and it's much more fun than some COD games where all you do is shooting and shit.

    The original Pokemon games were so much more than children's games. Just because it's based off a cartoon and depicts cute little super-animals doesn't make it trivial or simple at all. It's very complex, and there is a lot more thought in the story line and game play than many other games. You can't just stop loving Pokemon, it's something that becomes a part of your childhood and you carry iy to adult hood. Playing the games is somewhat nostalgic, and yes, it's a great way to relieve stress and wind down.
    As for me, Pokemon taught me how to read :)

    It's completely normal, I know many Adults and older Adults in their 40's that still play video games and Dungeon and Dragons etc.

    Just because a person is an Adult doesn't mean that they always have to stop liking or doing things that are nerdy or always stop being a kid at heart. As long as playing Pokemon doesn't get in the way of her Job (if she has one) and other family members and hanging out with them etc. Then I say play Pokemon the card game or the video games or reading the Manga as much as you want to or can.

    Same here! I have the ones for GBC (silver, gold and yellow), I only like Kanto- Johto (original series). haven't played in awhile though, but last time I was probably around 19 or 20.
    oh, and when my sister (few months older than me) and I go to visit our cousins (one who's like 3 months older than me the other only a couple years younger), it's been like a tradition that we all play Pokemon stadium together XD

    I don't see it as anything strange. I'm 18 and where I am it's actually seen as cool to play Pokemon. I don't play it, but I do still play my favourite game, which I've had since I was 11. I play lots of other games which might be seen as being for people younger than me. Not just games, I'm like that with other stuff too. If I still find it fun even though I'm not a small child, I'm not stopping just because it will "come back" to me in Uni. I highly doubt it would, and anyone who criticises me for it is probably a twat anyway. Sod that! At least I'm having fun:P.
