Are you an adult wasting your money & life on a kids game? Well now you can waste your money on a magazine about wasting your life on a kids game you waste your money & life on.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -CS Lewis TLDR: You're a dick. |

The adult market is a neglected market when it comes to Pokemon, time to have a magazine for older fans. It also needs EV/IV training advice.

Pretty much this^ Almost all my friends still play Pokemon even at work (and we are all 20+). |

I'm pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic. It was posted on an anime forum.

My Gran use to say this about men, but I guess it can be for any adult of both gender. "they grow old, but they seem to not grow up sometimes."

Leon decided he'd grown old enough & that it was time for him to grow up. It got him killed. |

It's great that older fans of Pokémon are being acknowledged with this magazine.
Now if only there were a Pokémon magazine for American fans... Oh, what the heck...it'll never happen. -_- |

I feel that this Awkward Zombie comic is relevant to the situation at hand:

Sounds cool! I'll probably try and pick up a copy, especially for Shoko-tan's poem. ♥
AkwardZombie stays perfect, accurate and relevant. x'D |

Are Magazines still a thing? What's the point if you have an internet connection? I'd wish they'd make a pkmn anime aimed at an older demographic instead.

In Japan they are, however even there, they are dying with several major publications having at least one of their magazines being digital only. |
