Why Anyone Can Play Pokemon

This is something I've been dying to go over for years, so let's get started. Pokemon really doesn't have an age restriction. Many Pokemon fans have friends, usually peers, who don't play Pokemon and ridicule them for playing it. This is ridiculous. I guarantee that if they just tried the game, they'd be playing it, too.
Pokemon's target age is around 7-11 years old. But not many 7-11 year-olds play it. Let me put it this way.
That's exactly how to put it.
Problem is, no one pays attention to the games ratings these days. eC is for any age. E is for 6+. E10+ is for 10 and up. See where I'm going? T is for 13 and up. So why do we have 6 or 7 year-olds playing T-rated games? It just gets worse. M is for 17+, so why do we have 7-9 year-olds playing Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto? But you can't really be too young or too old to play Pokemon. Which makes it a great game.
Ever seen a kid playing Pokemon X/Y? Probably not. Pokemon tends to be more of a college-age thing these days.
So, if you don't care when your friends mock you for playing Pokemon, and play it anyway, that's a sign that you're more mature than they are.
Hope you all liked this!
