>>21920609God I fucking hate arguments like this so much. It's naive as shit.
First off, most people play more than just one game. Secondly, saying "hurr play something else then xD" is not an excuse for shitty design.
The games are too easy. And no, it's not a result of being a game everyone can enjoy (ie; what this board sees as "childrens" games), it's a result of shitty game design. There's a huge difference between difficult and challenging. Pokemon is neither, and it's just a bore to trudge through the main game.. there's no mental challenge whatsoever, and ends up being just going from point A to B to C mowing down trainers left and right, because the game doesn't have the sense to force your hand even the slightest bit outside of RNG.
Just look at fucking Mario 64. I would not describe that game as hard in the least, however it is challenging. I actually have to think for a second about what I'm doing. I had just as much fun playing that game as a kid as I do now.
