>>22308275The worst part is that they acknowledge our existence
>That Iwata Asks interview were they showed the BW demographic graphs, and they mentioned how pokémon players were mainly young adults and very young kids>Main characters of new pairs are older every gen>Pokémon Origins was "dedicated to the fans who had been here since the beggining"Also when XY were released, Masuda said in a Barelona con that he thinks "the total fanbase is divided half kids half adults by now". I was there and we were all older in our 20s and like 3 kids.
Yes, they acknowledge us, but they cater to us by giving us two mega charizards, two mega mewtwos, more pikachu stuff, muh gen 1 pandering, etc. instead of making the game more challenging or at least giving the option for different difficulty levels.
