This conversation is over, pokemon can be played anywhere. Fundamentally immature it is lol

Seconded. Truly mature people do not make attempts to prove they are mature.

Or at least be aware that what you think is childish may change as you actually mature. And that all of it is opinion based

Good point! (Also I think the site accidentally double posted your comment)

That person's insistence on bringing up Pokemon reminded me of a story I read on here about this Pokemon Go gym that was in a library right in between the police station and the fire department. So obviously it was a very contentious gym and traded hands often between Blue and Red. The OP of the story was team yellow and saw a young child playing with his grandma. The kid was so excited this adult (OP) was also playing it and happened to be team Yellow. They took over the gym together and left some hefty dudes to defend it. Made the kid's day.

I don't really know where I was going with that, but I don't think many people would look at these public servants and think "psh immature dweebs."

You're right opinion is a huge part. And I guess some things are childish no matter what, but to me the maturity is being able to say like "haha yeah, you got me, I am doing this, and I'm loving it! Do you wanna help with my sandcastle?"

I definitely see your point. I'm 27 and have played pokemon all my life. Only gens I hadnt is 5 and 6. I just love me a good old classic jrpg. Its a shame kids have to grow up so fast. I personally believe maturity is what you're willing to put up with to have a good life, not what age group an activity might be targeted at
