>>31242690A lot of kids (myself included) got into the series earlier than 10, at around like age 5-6. So many of the 10 year olds playing the Gen 4 games were probably 'intermediate' in terms of series knowledge.
I played Diamond/Pearl when I was 11, so it was my first year of middle school. People were a lot more low key about it, but a lot of them generally still played and occasionally discussed shit. Ironically enough I was considering dropping Pokemon before D/P came out because the 3-4 year gap between R/S and D/P had me thinking that they werent going to create any new Pokemon. Of course, I'm now posting on the Pokemon board of a Malaysian Cave Painting website, so it's funny how things work out.
