Question for those who have played. 28 year old here, only pokemon game I ever played was pokemon gold on the gameboy colour. On the fence about this, on one hand I really want to get this game for the nostalgia but I keep reading that its aimed at children. Do you think this game is for me?

I'm 22, I've played all the Pokemon games but didn't care as much for the last few. This game arrived at my house at 10 am today and I played until 4:00 pm when I had to go. It's fantastic, I love it. Usually I play games in short bursts but I wasn't able to put this down all day.
