>>41054325How fucking out of touch is Gamefreak? Kids are not retarded. And they don't play these games anyway because kids HATE drawn out tutorials and constant handholding + unskippable cutscenes.
The absolute lack of any sort of difficulty also makes the games unmemorable and not engaging, meaning kids will forget about the game as soon as they finish it, if they don't put it down halfway through from sheer boredom.
Kids like Pokemon because of the anime and Go. They don't give a crap about these boring ass games that don't let them do anything without interrupting them with patronizing tutorials and cutsceness every two steps.
