Today, my boyfriend got angry because I laughed when he asked me if he should retire from being a Pokemon Trainer. He was serious. He's also 21. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend of more than two years told me in front of all of our friends that he'd trade me for some Playstation 3 games. I laughed it off because I thought he was kidding. He made it clear that he was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, my husband got angry and stormed out of the house because he claims I wasn't pressing the buttons he told me to while playing Pokemon. FML
Today, my boyfriend who’s rage quit multiple games, screamed cuss words for hitting too many red lights, and broke his new phone when a legendary Pokémon escaped after a raid in Pokémon Go, told me I was too dramatic. Sorry for being depressed that my biopsy results weren’t good. Shit happens, huh? FML
Today, I threatened to break up with my boyfriend over the Trolley Games in Toontown Rewritten for trying to sabotage my scores. We're 24 and 26. FML
Today, my husband started a conversation with, "In Pokémon…" and ended the same conversation with "…and that's why we should divorce." FML
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to beat him up so he could look tough around his friends. When I just stared at him, he added, "Please don't break anything though. Nothing too serious." FML
Today, I got fired, apparently for being racist to black people. When I told my boyfriend, he couldn't stop laughing. He's black. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I refused to keep him company while he took a shit. FML

You laughed because you can't ever retire from being a Pokemon trainer, right?

So long as he's able to balance his time as a trainer with his responsibilities in the real world, I don't see a reason to give up the games. I'm 25, married, work full-time and have a comfortable life. I own (in one form or another) every single main-series game up to gen4 + Conquest; and i'm working on grabbing B/W 1 and 2 as well as X/Y when they come out. The point is balance; so long as it doesn't consume his life (Unless he's a professional making a living off that shit, in which case go man go!), let him have his fun.

I feel like OP is a buzzkill. You're never too old for pokemon and you should know that :D

I'm 24 and I'm still working on getting some badges so let him know he doesn't have to retire. I'm up for a battle any time as well.

Pokémon is more then just a game...it's a way of life.

Depending on what you mean by "laughed", he has a right to be pissed at your lack of maturity. What does age have anything to do with liking something? "I'm a grown up because I don't like kiddy stuff" is the reasoning of a 5-year-old :P I love Pokemon, but this has nothing to do with Pokemon, it has to do with letting people enjoy whatever they want regardless of age.

You never go back from being a Pokemon trainer. You can take breaks for a year, or maybe more. But you can NEVER go back.
