>>55107125This is specifically about Japanese kids, they HATE any kind of change.
They are the people who sent a shit ton of letters to Toriyama during the Majin Buu saga begging for Goku to come back, and also the ones who made their parents send letters complaining to TPC for getting rid of Ash in the anime.
It's not that they hate dark stuff, they'd hate any kind of drastic change.
If you wanted to pull off a serious and dark Pokemon game you'd probably need like 4 gens of slight changes to get to that point without causing a meltdown.
