Older Pokemon fans who can appreciate a complex, immersive story aren't getting it with Pokemon. They can see the potential, but Pokemon squanders it by catering mostly to the younger crowd who don't care about all that.
Pokemon Generations was proof that they can successfully cater to the older fans. It would be nice to see them do this in a game--even a spinoff--but I won't hold my breath and older fans shouldn't either.
