>>36309675The one thing Game Freak was successful at was brainwashing children while they were still young.
Exposing their developing minds to the games, anime, music, movies, merch, etc. causes them to become psychologically dependent on the franchise into adulthood (and thus represent a reliable source of revenue)
That explains why Game Freak has been so adamant to tap into the modern braindead children market in recent generations - they need a fresh group of young minds to trick them and keep them dependent on the franchise years down the line.
Regarding LGPE, GF realized the kids who grew up with gen 1 are now nostalgia-ridden adults (thanks to GF's earlier successes) and wants to cash in on them again.
Glad you woke up and realized that "disease" you've had for so long was all a product of marketing. Don't let a virtual monster collecting game from your childhood define who you are in the present.
