For the OP:
Age has nothing to do with gaming. I know plenty of 30-40-50 year olds who play video games on a regular basis.
So I say, go for it :] catch those Pokemon 'til your eyes fall out!

I don't think it's too old, after all, Pokemon is just an RPG. It's only associated (Sp?) with children because it was a cartoon.
22 isn't too old to be playing pokemon, as long as you're just playing the GB, GBA, DS titles. I for one LOVED the original games, yellow blue red, they were like an RPG with 151 characters. Simple, fun. I tried gold, but couldn't really get into it... But I still love the originals.
So yes, it's ok to like the pokemon games (even pokemon stadium).

Seriously, al his main games are awesome, and even his shitty spin-offs are decent or better. That, and he's a powerhouse in Super Smash Bros.
On-topic:
I'm a guy aged 25, and have been playing the games openly in public for years. So far it's gotten me one remark about acting my age, and a huge amount of great conversations with closet gamers. Besides, you're a girl older then 16, you can buy anything, no matter how childish, without trouble. Hell, my girl's 26 and buys lots of kids' stuff. I mean real kids' stuff, meant for people aged 5 and younger. I must admit, quite a lot of that kids stuff is pretty awesome.
Well, I'm a guy and bought Pokemon Pearl when it came out. I'm 26 now and providing I can spare the cash, I wouldn't mind picking up Platinum. There is something oddly compelling about levelling up those little critters, regardless...
So yeh, if you like the games, don't let something like age stop you from enjoying it!

The Pokemon games are very cool, the show and movies however are not. So don't be ashamed that you still play Pokemon because it's really a respectable RPG.
i recently downloaded a game boy advance emulator with all the pokemon games *naughty*
i managed to play through 3 of them, minus the collecting everything part and it was great. no one's too old for pokemon except those who can't control their bladders!

No, if you enjoy it then things like that shouldn't get to you. If you're going to be self-conscious about it that means you really want to like it but are worried about the social stigma which can come with liking it. I say just do it and be happy for it
Why should it matter that you're 22? If you like the game, buy the game. Pokemon is a solid RPG anyways (not the show or the cards, mind you).
I'm 19, but I say that if a game is good, it shouldn't matter what the target audience is supposed to be. I say play it loud, play it proud. Pokémon, while it had it's share of flaws, is still a good game series. It was just killed by the spin-offs that resulted from it's popularity.
I have a 53-year-old professor who is really into video games, including Pokemon. If this guy isn't too old for video games then you definitely aren't. Besides, most statistics says the average age of a gamer these days is in the 30-35 area. I'd say if anything, you're too young to be playing video games.
And why do you care what your roommate thinks? I'm sure she has interests and hobbies that you think are weird. She's got no right to judge you for something like video games.
