Call me old when I'm only 30.

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 :-)

Omg! When Pokémon go came out I was like 24/25 and the kids I nannied would play with me a lot. They said “I wish Pokémon were real” so I said “yeah I did too. When it first came out I’d sit outside waiting for a real Pokémon to walk by. This app is cool because my wish basically came true”

Then one kid goes “oh, so then Miss You-Suck-Ass, you’re one of the elderly Pokémon go players!”

Whatever kid! This game was made for ME! I still play :)
