My 9 yr old daughter likes Pokemon, but she's not a serious gamer. My 8 yr. old nephew, who's always been a tech whiz, LOVES it. Both kids are seriously into science, but different fields. The game is good fun. On an educational note, my little brother Nic, a college sophmore, is taking Japanese this semester for the first time, and is by far the most advanced student in the class. When the professor commented on his vocabulary and asked from whom he'd been learning the language, Nic said he'd learned it all from Pokemon games.
