So as an 18 year old, loving Pokemon and following dreams and hobbies are kind of a normal thing in my life, a good relationship is always good for leating things out when you are too stressed, but some of those things can´t be solved by talking.
As a Pokemon Fan I see almost every time a face of rejection or weirdness when I tell people that I enjoy to play the game, and even take that play into a competitive level via Battle Spot, but almost every person never understands my affection to the franchise, and I am not surprised. Usually in Video Games if they are not about a mature theme, being for example killing or exploring, real life characters or stuff like that, older people think is everything else is childlish and you are a grown up, that you should be more mature and more.
Those very same people tend to forget that when they were younger maybe my age or a bit less, they were also following their hobbys and singer or band, the hottest actor / actress, and for some reason they left those thoughts, maybe it was because of their jobs, or a family member told them to "grow up"...
The point is that no matter what other say about you or the things you like, nothing else will make you who you really want to be if you don´t do what you love. So for all the Pokemon Fans out there, we are a great community, we play for fun and for glory with each other, and you know people who say we are adults playing a kids game, we don´t need to prove them wrong, because only we know that Pokemon is not just a simple kids game and above all else we Love It!
If you have friends that have had the same issue or they are going trough something similar, show them your support, show them what a great community we are, and if you can... Make sure to follow me on Twitter @Pkmgecko and subscribe to the Blog for more of the franchise we all love. Thank you all so very much, till the next post.
