![]() ![]() Permit me to really overcommit to a point here: as humans, we are probably closest to Pokémon when we're about nine-and-a-half.įor me, that very specific age is tied very specifically to my memories of Pokémon Crystal, a game which, after roughly 17 years of languishing on old, forgotten cartridges, sees its return to the hands of nine-and-a-half-year-olds today, on the 3DS. It's that weird bit of life you occupy right between having an adult brain and a child's - right after you start to pick up a moral compass that goes beyond just doing what you're told, to a sense of duty or justice, but right before you're really sentient enough to start thinking about why that is. To first playing it, that is, but you could say it probably also fits the mental age of Pokémon themselves, too, in a roundabout way. Nine-and-a-half: this is the sort of mental age I ascribe to Pokémon.
