>>29631991>There's no legitimate reason against a franchise that has been marketed more or less entirely to children for the past two decades suddenly pitching its content to an older audience"Pokémon is for kids" is an established fact in the minds of the majority. If Pokémon suddenly contains content that isn't for kids, they won't respond by saying "Oh, it's not for kids any more." They'll riot about how Nintento/TPCi/Game Freak is trying to sell these horrible things to CHILDREN.
At least some children would no longer be allowed to get the games. Teens would still avoid it because "Pokémon is for kids." And some of the adult market would probably drop it because it "got edgy."
That kind of move, flying against entrenched expectations and stereotypes for no reason, would be a marketing disaster. So, there's your legitimate reason.
Now, to come back at you:
>There's no legitimate reason in favor of Pokémon jumping two ratings. So why would they?
