Because switch ads showed teenagers and adults playing system.

It's 299 hard for kids to afford

Even if a price drop happens for switch the games cost.

59.99 Americans and 79.99 Canadian compared to 39.99 and 49.99 for 3ds games

Paid online

I'm not sure how they can make kiddish like sun and moon. And succeed so much is going against for kids.

That's why I think gen 8 will be for older people not crazy violence or anything just more difficult or more nostalgia pandering

kids who were 10 in 1998 are going to be 30 in 2018. No fucking 30 year old still plays pokemon, I don't care how much of a fucking neckbeard you are.

"Older fans" just means dumb 16-21 demographic, which is still kids in today's day and age. Catering to actual adults would be suicide financially. Oh yeah, and those 16-21 year olds first games were probably Diamond and Pearl, not gen 1. Older fans doesn't = gen 1 anymore. It means gen 3/4 because people who were kids in gen 1 don't play anymore

I am 30 and still playing pokemon, well more competitive than everything else, but still.
you don't know how many people from the good old RBY times still playing, not everyone is a retarded genwunner or stops playing just because he is "old(er)" now.

I hope you aren't implying that advertising to teens and adults doesn't get kids interested or that plenty of parents don't buy big ticket items and online subscriptions for their kids.

Also they said some games won't need paid online anyways, MHXX already won't.

The newer games have not maintened half that.

More people let the than stayed doesn't mean some people didn't continue playing

Reminder that official statistics say that ever since HGSS the amount of adults playing the games outnumber the amount of children.

Reminder that it is exactly because of this that they attempt to pander to children harder in recent times.

dude, kids play COD and weebfucker simulators these days. I'm pretty sure that the 25-35 years old people are 20-25% of the community.

Me (30), my brother (29), my best friend (32) and his brother (30), we all play since the beginning together till these days, sure, we don't run to pokemon days and random vgc events, but we still play and we have fun, and no, we are not fat neckbeards, we all have a good life with our wifes and some of us have kids.

Note that Nintendo themselves don't have much control over what GF and TPC does with the games.

So even if Nintendo wants to market more to older gamers, I highly doubt TPC will give a shit and will continue marketing towards kids.

Black and White was also aimed at the older audience, mind.

I don't think your points are very justifiable, either. Unless you're going to claim that Mario Kart, Splatoon, and so on aren't aimed at kids either.
>>32856982
Did you just admit you're underaged?

And did you further just assume that your first game had to be the one newest one? I started in 2002, and still went through the process of Yellow -> Red -> Blue -> Gold -> Silver -> Crystal before even touching Ruby and Sapphire.

You know modern kids are spoiled right? Their parents will just give in to their whining and buy a Switch.

I can't see pokemon in its current state being a on a home console unless they really change shit up. Pokemon has so much potential but it always feels restricted by itself of that makes sense.

SM has more mature elements than the past titles though.
But yeah you all are probably the kind of people who think that Digimom Tamers is childish because the main characters are kids.
