So does this mean SM are exciting the normies? Or is this just fans of previous games?

"POKEMON IN 3D WOOOOAH" is instantly exciting to normies, remember that half the people who played the first two hours of SM seem wowed by stuff that has been happening for years, just for happening in a 3D game like this. One person even implied the games have never had story, cutscenes and lore before SM. It's fucking ridiculous.

Same thing happened with XY

This. It's fun and impressive to normies, especially with the genwun pandering. But the majority of normies who watch the trailers won't even get the games, and out of those who do, most will drop it quickly

Depends on what you find fun. The bare minimum I'd like is a BW kind of difficulty. It's easy, but not easy enough to ruin the experience. I'm sure we all have different games that we consider that threshold

Pokemon is a normie franchise. If normies didn't buy the game it would not be financially viable to make the game for non-normies. It makes people feel good to attack and vilify a group of people. The problem comes when that group is so ill defined that you are attacking yourself without knowing.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success: the Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.

I would say Mario is the most normie franchise of all time. Even my mom enjoys playing it. Your going to be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't know it or hasn't touched it to some degree too.

Not bait, I genuinely expect this to happen. The 3DS is probably near the end of it's lifecycle, so it won't have as much time to drum up sales.

>>29161914
I remember X/Y had a lot of hype before it came out. It was the first mainline game in 3d, and Mega evolution, while not necessarily better than Alola forms, is definitely a lot more attention grabbing.

You're probably right about GO though.

The GO factor combined with the gen1 pandering is exactly what could make this game an exception in terms of sales.

The nostalgia factor should not be overlooked, because with Pokemon GO being as popular as it is, Pokemon is back in the heads of a lot of people that haven't thought about it for a long time.
