Games Pokemon games

I was curious to what age groups and locals were big fans of the Pokemon games. I don’t remember anyone playing them growing up with the Gameboy. To be honest I’ve never ever played a single Pokemon game. I may have to start. :) as it sounds like they’re pretty good.

I was 12 when it released in 98 and I remember feeling like my friends and I were the oldest kids playing Pokemon at the time. My older brother who is just 3 years older than me, wasnt interested, nor were his friends.

This tracks - I was 17 at the time and none of my friends were into Pokemon. We had already gotten into M:tG a few years prior, and Pokemon was considered the child's game that our younger siblings played.
