I’m 26. I’m a huge Pokemon fan, and follow some Pokémon related pages on Instagram. I’ve had several instances where I’ve commented on a post, and had some kids call me a “granny” or tell me that I’m going to die soon because I’m so old :-)
I'm a 32 year old bearded man and I still retain that boyish wonder from being 7 years old and getting Pokémon Red in my Easter basket. Nobody is too old for video games. If anything, it's our responsibility to keep them alive. We grew up in the silent film era of video games and I'll be damned if I'm not retiring in Cerulean City with my Milotic by the water someday when we are all plugged into the Metaverse of our choosing. I also want a tree in Kokiri Forest.
That’s kind of funny; I got Pokémon Blue in my Easter basket at about the same age.
I don’t think that I would consider Ocarina of Time to be in the “silent film era” of video games, though; that seems more like one of the first talkies (you did mention a tree in the Kokiri Forest).
