I am 16, and have been playing since I was about 4.

I'm 19... I guess that makes me one of the older fans?

Also, cool how the poll data resembles a normal curve.

I'm 20 years young and will be 21 in April.
I have been playing PoKéMoN since I was 6-7.
It all started with PoKéMoN Stadium, Snap, Silver and Crystal.
Quickly followed by R/Y/B. :3

I'm 16 soon to be 17.

I'm 19 going on 20. G/S/C were my first games. So yeah...

geez. I'm one of the youngest active members.
I'm 11, kthx.
not lying.

I'm 30. I've been playing since...well...the beginning. I got Red/Blue right when they came out. I was 17 at the time, in my senior year of high school.

I actually started playing Pokemon when I was 10. I played Pokemon XD and then got hooked.

Just turned 20 in July. Started with Red version.

Not the oldest person here, but I can't say my age on the internet for privacy reasons. l:L

Not gonna lie 13

15, turning 16 in october

I'm thirteen. I started with Sapphire when I was 5 because my older brother bought the game at that time. : P
But after I really got into the Pokemon fandom I started to play the rest and now I have at least one game from each generation... except the first, because I lost Blue ;____;

I'm 13 and turning 14 in October.

21. been playing since i was 7. i started with blue version.

22, I have been playing since I was 9.

I'd like to change my vote because I'm turning 16 in a week.

I'll be 20 in 3 months, but I don't care about age when it comes to Pokemon.

Did I say I was 21 now?
I don't think I did, ONLY 4 months late.

Right now, I'm 18. And I'm still having fun with Pokémon, so all the better!

Atm, I'm 13 turning 14 soon.

13, and in may I will become 14 years old ^_~

Ergh, can I change my vote? I got older. I'm now 16, not 14-15.

Oh my, I'm 18 this year.

I'll turn 19 in September, always loved the games, always will
Been playing since gold and silver have not missed a game since, well at least not the handheld games !!

Wow Im old! 21 for me, started when I was 11 (I think), and GSC was my generation. And boy am I glad it was.

I'm turning 13, so not much new here.

yOblo, gsc was a great generation to start in ^^

19 turn 20 next month been playing since gen 1 with my blue version and bulbasaur

16 as of november last year

always seemed to me like us 18-19 year olds are the minority :b

haha yeah, but even though we are getting older, does not mean we cant play Pokémon !

ouo I'm turning 17 soon...if you count October as soon X3

15 right now ^^

Maybe the poll should've asked for year of birth so that the results wouldn't become obsolete a year later.

I'm 18.

19 and lovin it!

18 is a groovy age.

15 right now.

21 and not getting any younger T_T I was 8 when I started playing, and it was with my cousin's Red version which I accidentally deleted her save on...

16 here and my first game was firered.

What an interesting graph. Seems that those that make it to their 20s pretty much stick. I'm 24 and within less than 2 months I'll be 25, and while the anime is hard to keep up with, I watch the movies, play the games, browse fanart and music, and do resets for good IVs. I've also attended one online competition to date, and did rather bad. XD I intend to attend more, and I don't expect to lose interest anytime soon.

21, off on the end of the bell curve.

16 and still playin'!

20, gonna be 21 in less then a month still playing as I come to the age I can drink.

Update: 17.5 years old, I'm playing back my old Pokemon games I've played when I was 9 or 10 years old.

20 years old and still loyaly playing every Pokémon game which comes out (( and which I manage to get my hands on! ))

At the time of that post, I am the same number as this page.

I am 20 years old and started playing a few days ago. Well I did play Pokemon Gold in my childhood, but I do not recall how old I was.

I am 15, and you could say I am a pretty recent Pokemon player compared to the rest of you, as I started with Emerald in 2005.

I'm 19, and I began to play at... 6.

I'm 17 and I started playing at 5

20 here. First game was at 7 or so I believe and was Pokémon Yellow.

Well, I can't move my vote, but I'm 22.

Im 23. Been playing pokemon games for over 15 years. Started with Red. According to the poll only 16 people are 22+. Man maybe Im too old for these lol.......nahhhhhhh

Remember that this poll is nearly four years old, so a lot of those votes are no longer valid. I could attempt to normalize it, as I think I have the timestamps for when each vote was made, but don't quote me on that.

Thats a lot of votes....

17, and have been playing since I was 10 (Go figure).

14. Started playing at 4 and a half. Dont remember much of it though.

I was 15 when I did this poll and now I'm soon going to be 19 change it!

vBulletin doesn't allow the option to change votes, but this is one thread I certainly would allow it with.

I was started video games at the gameboy generations with pokemon of Nintendo and also played lots of GameCube so when I see younger kids I know use wireless connection I put on a old man voice and say " back in my day, if you wanted to play with yer friends you need link cables!" XD

Huh, a stickied thread in the Pokémon section that I haven't seen yet Weird.

Also, ironically enough, I'm 18 now and started playing Pokémon at, let's see, 16. I was getting into Pokémon when basically everyone I knew at school was finishing getting out of it. But, that's what they invented the Internet for, I guess.

15. Started playing at 6

I am 19 and I will play until my heart stops beating.

I remember when I first responded to this thread when I was 13 years old. I'll be 18 years old in less than 2 months...time sure passes so quickly...

25, I started playing seriously when I was 19, but I was fan of the mons since I was 10 when the series started showing in my country unfortunately I did not have a chance to get a GB to play the game back then. The best thing about Pokémon is that being such a complete and challenging game it is always fun to play, not matter your age.

Well, I'm 20 years old. I've probably joined the senior citizen ranks of those who play Pokémon.

I'm 13. I'm a youngster on this site.

At age 28, I'm probably one of the oldest Pokemon fans here on VR. I started playing Pokemon at age 21, when a friend gave me Diamond and Pearl. At the time, he didn't have a DS, but he knew I had one, so... free copies of Diamond and Pearl.

Of course, I've since expanded my library of Pokemon games, ranging from Gold and Silver to Black 2 and White 2. However, I still need to get my hands on the first generation (Red, Blue, and Yellow) and third generation (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald) to further complete my collection.

Started playing at the age of 8, with RedFire, which was stole from me, so I had Ruby, then Emerald and so on.
Now 18yo, watching an X/Y gameplay xD

I started playing when I was about 6 or 7 with Red Version being my first. I am 23 now.

I'm 20, but I'll be 21 in a little over a month. I started playing when I was 5.
