I also posted this in the "Hello Everybody!" thread, but thought I would post a new topic, since it's more of a question than an introduction.
Hey Everyone!
My name's Josh, and I've recently decided to play Pokemon again. I'm 24 years old (SO OLD!) and played the game a ton as a kid. I was a member of my original local league, and even won a few tournaments and such back in my day. I've decided to start playing again because I needed a hobby, and for nostalgia's sake, decided to check out the game again.
Things have changed.
A lot, I might add. There's a ton of new mechanics, hundreds of new Pokemon (though I knew about those, since I play the VG's) and it would appear that the game is a little more broken than it used to be? (150 hp, back in my day Charizard was king with 120) However, that will not deter me in my quest to continue the game again. To be honest, though, I feel a little self conscious being so old and playing the game. I want to attend my local league after my deck is built, but I'm just not sure how they would take a 24-year old in there. Would I be the only one? Would I be the oldest person there by, like 10 years? I don't know!
Am I too old to play this game? Should I move to a more advanced TCG with an older age group? I really want to start playing Pokemon again with all the new mechanics and such.
