>>12553645>Because as much as you might hate to admit it, every pokemon is somebody's first. Nostalgia is not limited to your own life experiences, but there are, in fact, other people on this planet who have grown up in different times, places, and have experienced different things. Never said otherwise, I'm not sure what this has to do with what we were discussing. I don't at all dislike the third gen, if that's what you're trying to insinuate in a roundabout way.
>At this point, the actual Gen 1 crowd is old man. I mean I'm 29. I shouldn't even be on this board discussing a children's game. The kids who first picked up RSE in elementry or middle school however are getting to that age where they can buy things. They are now consumers. And really, what sells better than nostalgia? It's just good business sense.As it stands since the release of Black and White, the 18-25 block (the people that started with RB or GSC) are either the largest or second largest (can't tell between them and 1st-3rd graders) is the age group with the highest percentage of BW registration. The notion that the Hoenn crowd is more ripe for the picking than the Kanto one is demonstratively untrue as of this generation's first release. On the off-chance that you watch the anime, this is why we're currently getting Kanto throwbacks (Newtwo, Charizard, Butterfree), they want to translate these adult game sales into ratings.
