My brother bought Pokémon Red back in 1999 or so. He was about 16 years old at the time already. He bought it because Pokémon was this game that had been a HUGE hit in Japan and was being critically acclaimed worldwide as well, so he felt the need to try it. He never became a "pokémon fan", though. But he did like the game back then. He hasn't cared for Pokémon since then. And I doubt many 16-17 year olds in 1998-1999 were getting into Pokémon either, but who knows.
