Carlson - I've got to take you to task here too. The only thing childish is the quote. Video games or those who enjoy them come from all walks of life, and just because you don't partake does not make them childish. This type of mentality to me feels much the same as those in the Anti-2A group that equate all gun owners as gun nuts because they don't like guns so why should anyone else.

10 to 20 something?

If in their 20's, (or sadly, older) they probably live with their parents, still get around on skateboards (when not borrowing their parents car) and refer to eveyone as 'dude'.

I'm sure they place getting a job far below 'playing' Poke.
People in their 20's or younger, grew up on Pokemon via video games and media (cartoons episodes, movies, etc) - So they probably are more app to play Pokemon Go.

Saying because someone likes a video game they still live with their parents is rather juvenille and short sided there Abraham. There have been about a 2-3 generation of 'gamers' brought up playing video games now from the old Arcades, to Atari in the living room, and so on. Like most things that is a hobby, the people who really are able to get into it and enjoy it have to spend money on it. This is just a new facet of that hobby/culture.
