Never.
I started with Red when I was 18 and Im 42 now.
I skipped the remakes though, except BDSP remake because back on the day I skipped that gen so I played the remake recently instead.
I consider myself just a casual fan though, since I never ever got close to competitive. Im uncapable of remember most pokemon names, skills, types, etc, I just play main titles and sometimes an spinoff like Arceus casually.
I play the game, enjoy the game, beat it, play the postgame a bit then put the game on the self without even completing the pokedex.
ITs been like this for 24 years. And I have the intention of keeping doing the same
