>"I hate Pokemon. I think its an abomination. The franchise doesn't mean what it used to mean. It was originally in the hands of teams and clubs who would actively expand the concept of the game for their nine - 13 year old audience. That was completely what they were meant to do and they did it excellently. These days, Pokemon thinks the audience is certainly not nine to 13, its nothing to do with them. It's an audience of largely 20-, 30-, 40-, years old men usually men. Someone came up with the term Pokemon industry. These fans latched onto it; they were simply interested in a way that could validate their continued love of Pikachu or Charizard without appearing in some way emotionally subnormal. This is a significant rump of the pokemon-addicted, mainstream-addicted audience. I don't think Pokemon stands of anything good. I think its a rather alarming sign if we've got audiences of adults going to buy the new Pokemon game and delighting in concepts meant to entertain the 12-year old boys of the 1990's"
