I had and played Yellow and Crystal back then. Only recently, in a small pile of GBA games I "won" there were 2 GBA Pokemons among them, too. I played them a few hours but I didn´t find much really "new" compared to the GBC ones. Nice to see how a good concept lives on to the DS era and is still as well known as 12-odd years ago.
I grew up with Doom and Duke Nukem and the classic platformers and much much less with RPGs or any kind of trading games. I guess at one time or another they will end as a gift to another family member. There is nothing at all wrong with Pokemon, the concept is brilliant but I can only, have always only been able to, play in 15 minute segments each, cannot immerse into long stories and careers to build.

A couple years ago my band went on tour and we ran a contest. All four of us got a game from a different generation and made up a ridiculous team (All Moustaches, All Metapods and so on) and if anyone could beat us in a battle, we gave them a free piece of merchandise.

We're all in our twenties, and most of the people we ran into who played were as old or older than us - so don't feel bad about playing these games. If the same thing came out with a different name no one would care.

I was reading a poll recently of Irish Nintendo supporters/loyalists, and when their ages were gauged, the majority of responses were from men over 25, with the majority of them
being over 30. Common thread amongst them all? Pokemon.
