Can any of you explain why those Pokemon X and Y commercials are playing 30 times a day on Comedy Central?
I don't think gamefreak or nintendo or whomever is advertising this game is picking the right channel to reach their targeted demographic.

It's advertising every, even the fucking History channel.

Kids aren't the target demographic anymore, EVERYONE is, the game is for everyone. Masuda already said in an interview that their plans with this game is to go for a more mature look on the story, which they tested with N and Team Plasma.

XY is primarily appealing to nostalgiafags, not kiddies. The dedicated fans will buy it anyway.

I can't speak for everyone, but I started playing Pokemon back when Red and Blue came out and I was 11 at the time. In fact, I remember I was with an ex-girlfriend at the time playing SoulSilver, and her snot-nosed, 7 year-old nephew came up to me and said, "Pokemon is for kids, why are you playing it?"

I told him, "Because I started playing this series before you even existed."

I think there are a lot of Pokemon fans who started playing when they were kids in the 90s who've since grown up and now continue to play it as adults. I think dismissing Pokemon as a kids game does a disservice to the legion of adult fans who quite literally grew up with this series, and are anxious what Gen 6 holds.

You're missing the point.
It IS the target demographic now.
It's not just for the kiddies anymore.

Because Comedy Central is full of 90's kids who are getting back into Pokemon. Nintendo/GF knows they have kids purchase almost locked in no matter what. If they can convince the older crowd who grew up with Pokemon to get back into it, then they'd make some real headway with sales.

They're really more college-age/ mid 20-something shows.

I'm an adult and love South Park. It's the last comedy show besides the Simpsons that doesn't have a blatant political agenda. They poke fun at politics, but they don't differentiate based on their views. One episode their bashing Rush, the next it's some far-left politician/actor.

Kids only watch it because, for them, it's edgy 'cause of all the swearing and adult jokes.

The Simpsons was great but especially towards the end it got extremely liberal, especially with Lisa who was always the final authority on everything correct and moral.

The SP guys say they don't really take sides but if they had to choose, they think liberals are stupider. On the other hand, the show seems to follow leftist ideologies a bit more and never actually does anything groundbreaking or defying stigmas. It's still a great show, though. People equate crudeness with juvenile humor, but the humor in SP is actually smarter than most things on TV

They're financially conservative, and socially close to the center of the isle, maybe leaning a bit to the left. From what I've heard, they describe themselves as libertarian. It's been a while since I've watched the Simpsons, so I thought it was still unbiased. What a shame...

South Park is funny because a lot of their shows make valid points on current issues while doing it in a hilarious way.

Wow, bragging that you backtalked to a 7 year old who made an unremarkable comment due to him just being an impressionable and dumb-aged kid. You must be incredibly hardcore.
