And towards another anon, yes it is a good marketing strategy. Pokemon has captured
people's hearts using "Family-based advertisement" and it's marketed towards "children
and adults", it's a family associated brand. Whether its designs or the IV/EV nature gameplay, pokemon fills a special place in everybody.
There's a cute mon, a cool mon, even in recent years sex mons, and yes those two are mutually inclusive when it comes to Pokemon's successful advertisment. Family Brand Loyalty and Sex sells.
You probably already know this but I'm reiterating a little history lesson I suppose.
Gen 1 was made in a time where there was not much SJW pandering, the world was still a different place. You could get by with edgy humor and teasing in those kind of shows. What made Pokemon cool, was their edge, whether it was Gastly, Haunter and Gengar ripping Ash's soul out of his body, Ash dying in the 1st movie. Pokemon is a tool for devils. Jynx. Mewtwo blowing up all those people in that lab.
Pokemon was made with a lot of passion in those days. Where you had a bit more freedom to be creative, experiment with edgier themes and dynamics without worrying too much
about the media, before that Jynx blowup anyways.
You can't get away with memorable shit like that today. That is why Pokemon is what it
is today with Purple Jynx, SJWs who defend the cut, Ash "winning"
the league, Ash's SM style. It now appeals to the Zoomer/Gen Z era people. Because they
had to get with the times. Adapt or fail to exist.
