>>36434336gamefreak doesn't understand the difference between something being dark and something being edgy(Lysandre and his autistic nazi genocide plot was a perfect example of this) so naturally, people wouldn't ever trust them to make a darker pokemon game.
If they ever wanna go in a "darker" direction they're gonna have to learn that the whole point of being "dark" is to make the player feel uneasy, not make kids go "WHOA, THAT GUY JUST DIED! THATS DOPE AS SHIT SENPAI!"
>>36437845>Alien 9funny you mention it since I was thinking about that series while reading through the topic with everyone claiming "media meant for kids should never be dark"
I think alien 9 is a good example of something that has a proper understanding of how to make entertainment for children dark without going into the territory of being silly or inappropiate
