I'll admit. I stopped caring about Pokemon about five years ago. I wouldn't exactly say I "grew out" of it, I just stopped caring. If people still like Pokemon, then good for them, I won't judge. And Pokemon isn't "childish". What's childish about a game where you quintessentially kidnap little monsters against their will and use them to kill other little monsters to level them up? Animal cruelty? What are you, PETA? It's a game. A game with fictional monsters. While you're at it, you should jump at King Kong or something because of "animal cruelty". I mean, the characters kidnapped a 25 foot fictional gorilla and brought it back to civilization. And when it escaped and ran rampant, a bunch of "animal abusers" gunned Kong down. It's purely fictional. It's not like Nintendo or RKO/Universal purposely INTENDED on it looking like they're abusing Pokemon or King Kong.
