Anons of 25+ years of age, why the fuck are you still invested in Pokemon games?

I like romhacks while I work
Probably would like pla if I had a switch ngl

Not invested, just play when I'm bored.

They’re comfy. I have other games if I’m in the mood for challenge. I play Pokémon for the pet sim, basically.

GEE I wonder why.

sometimes it's fun to play a game that I know inside and out to destress and not have to worry about paying attention

Comp.
Comp is fun to play if you are not a brainlet, Pokémon single player is an RPG for 5 years olds

Waiting for more Unovakino.
Started with Gen 2 but Gen 5 is my favorite. Hopefully they don't fuck it up. I've skipped the last few games. XY and ORAS killed my interest.

The worldbuilding and characters used to be good. I'm still hoping for another kino game or remake to come out but I feel the chances get lower every year. Maybe gen 10 will finally be the generation GF tries really hard to make a good game.

hi zoomzoom

26 here, it’s just fun, I have a normal life job and friend.

There nothing wrong with a hobby

nobody over the age of 18 talks like this

Because they're fun and interesting. There's no age limit on enjoying life you miserable fuck.

Sort of a combination of nostalgia and escapism? I haven't bought any of the games newer than Gen 7, but I still fire up Moon every now and then to see how my team is doing and take them out for some exercise.

Congratulations on being the first millenial to enjoy Gen 5. Hoping for another soft reboot

I'm saving a bunch of romhacks for a rainy day because they're fun and genuinely enjoy some aspects of stories in the baseline games. Nothing is perfect of course so I take what I can get and fill the rest with """"quality"""" fan works and headcanon. The nostalgia and porn is good too.

I can't stop thinking about making my own pokemon game. No matter how hard I try to distract myself with other stuff I end up thinking about it.

>still like the designs of Pokemon, even new ones
>hype/leak seasons are always a blast
>still think the worldbuilding is fun enough to contemplate even if some things are constantly "I don't know haha"ed by the writing and never touched upon ever again
>haven't been able to find any good husbandos in any other form of media that cater to my wildly unpredictable and completely incomprehensible taste in men like Ingo and Emmet somehow do
>big fandom, lots of content and opportunity for discussion to keep interest in Pokemon thriving at the cost of being able to have actual quality discussion because Pokemon fans are the worst and I hate them so much jesus fucking christ
>games are alright, PLA is the most fun I've ever had with a Pokemon game despite being deeply flawed to the point other games could NEVER get away with that kind of shit
>I might just be autistic and/or mentally ill

To be honest with you, I truly want to leave but no matter how far I stray from Pokemon, it always ropes me right back in. Like I really can't escape. I've tried other things but maybe the nostalgia and comforting familiarity of Pokemon is just too strong. Everyone knows this is a franchise that abuses the absolute hell out of fan nostalgia, because it works every time they make something new. What a horrid thing to think about.
