>>40480162The franchise has always been childish. I'm not going to say that they haven't been getting progressively worse over time, but it's not because they are getting babyfied.
It's funny because when I was a teenager I went through a stage of not wanting to play E rated games and only watching anime cause cartoons were for babies. Now though I think I watch more cartoons than when I was a kid and besides niche anime shit Nintendo games are the only stuff I'll play.
Not to ramble, but I feel like just because media is presented in a way that is clearly child-friendly It doesn't mean that it can't be enjoyed by an adult audience.
I don't know why you put the immature point at gen IV I'd say it and V put the most effort into trying to appeal to adults.
