>Nintendo Power: Do you feel you were successful in widening the games’ appeal? Do you have a sense of what age groups they have resonated with?
>Masuda: “For Black and White in Japan, the majority of the players have been high-school and college students, but we expect the proportion of younger players to increase over the holidays.” [This interview took place just prior to the holidays. -Ed.] “Generally, the older players are more familiar with the series while the younger players are new to it. However, we believe most of the older players are “lapsed” Pokemon fans. Maybe they played Red and Blue Versions when they were younger, but have not necessarily been playing it consecutively since.”
>Nintendo Power: Does that represent a change from previous generations?
>Masuda: “Having so many older players return is a big change from previous generations.”
