Why does TPCI insist on making their games for kids even though the vast majority of Nintendo Switch users are over the age of 15?

Keep dreaming, the kids don't care about the Nintendo games, they want Fortnite.

How does it not make sense? Pokemon's fanbase extends way beyond people who play the games. There's also a ton of kids who watch the anime and get their parents to buy them the toys, but have never touched the games.

A kid CAN play Metroid games, earlier ones especially when it's just a standard side shooter. Perhaps not the Prime games, though. I could see the dark, nigh impregnable atmosphere of the Frigate Orpheon from the beginning of Prime 1 especially giving kids the heebeegeebees.

We're not talking exclusively about gameplay, anon, if that's the case it gets worse for game freak if we mention the concept of "difficulty level".

My point being that those specific spin-offs would not be practically marketable towards actual kids than an older demographic. Indeed, the entire Prime Triologies' ESRB score reflects this, as opposed to the return to form that was Samus Returns. Of course, this doesn't stop kids from being drawn to them, but then again, neither are GTA games.

Well of course, but that's just it. They're the majority, not the entirety. And more still of that current adult majority may as well have fallen into that very prepubescent/teen demographic at the time of those particular game's releases. It's mostly just a food-for-thought point, anon.

I've only ever seen playthroughs of Echoes, Lancun's in particular from many years back. I recall reused assets on a certain scale, however. Especially those, which are just retooled baby sheegoths.

Fun little collectible animals, monsters, and such are still considered as kids things, so that's who they're primarily aiming for. People older than 15 are considered as a niche demographic (even if that actually may not be the case; I don't know what the data is on this), which may not be thought of as a large or dependable enough group to rely on for ideal profits. This niche group belongs to a set of people who are socially expected to have outgrown Pokemon fanaticism.

I guarantee you that Nintendo wants Pokemon games to keep aiming for kids precisely because they -want- to keep having a kid audience. Adults eventually die, you need a renewal of audience.
