Because having an older demographic is a death sentence for a franchise like Pokemon; they don't watch the anime, they don't buy movie tickets, they don't buy toys, they don't buy merch, they only buy games.

In order to maximize sales, they need the older fans to fuck off and get replaced by new ones; an old anime director flat-out stated this in an interview

>Now an overall question about the show. Will Ash ever become a Pokemon Master? He laughed and fell back on the couch. He blatantly said that when Ash becomes a Pokemon Master, the show will end. It will be the last episode. Going back to my first interview, I did not mention that he stated the show was cyclical because it could be the audience is constantly replaced (since children get older and leave, and new children come in), so they are allowed to get away with having the same repetitive goal. So, the show would probably continue the same way collect badges, travel through different regions, never age. Will Ash and Pikachu ever be replaced? No. Will they ever age? No. Will there be a 5th generation of Pokemon and will the show keep continuing? He laughed even harder and said of course. Pokemon will continue for many generations to come, and as he made it sound, probably forever.

Says it all

You're supposed to grow out of Pokemon and get replaced by a new kid, the franchise's business model is based around this cycle

Couple of thoughts here.
1) it says “it could be”, which seems to imply that they’re simply reacting to or speculating about what’s happening, not trying to engineer it
2) if it is a model they’re consciously trying to create, does it make them extra
Ingenious or incompetent to have made a product so compelling it literally defies the model by keeping fans on board?

Aren't a drop in the bucket compared to toy sales to people under the age of 10. That's how these company's work. If I remember correctly, Ferrari makes less than 10% of it's profit from selling actual cars. I wouldn't be shocked to discover that the mainline pokemon games are less than 10% of the profit that the pokemon brand makes.

Actually, merch sales have seen a significant spike in recent years due to two things, neither of which has to do with children: 1) Pokémon Go repopularizing the brand among millennials, and 2) millennials reaching an age where they have disposable income to spend on what they want, hence the dress shirt 151 line, the $500 jumbo plushes, etc.

Yes, a significant portion of sales will always come from parents buying Christmas and birthday gifts for their kids, but the millennial generation that grew up with Pokémania is in their late 20s/early 30s now and is a largeee contingent of total $ spent on the franchise

Pokemon hasn't been a kid-consumed franchise since... fuck, the early-mid DS era?
Kids don't play "kids games" anymore.

Most of Pokemon's fanbase these days are:
1) People who were fans during Pokemania
2) Furfags
3) Childless women in their late 20s and early 30s
4) Pokemon Go players (i.e. not kids. Teens at the youngest)
5) Kids who have parents that are trying to get them into Pokemon because they themselves are in either category 1 or 4

This is just trying to scare off normal people from leaking the game's info from stuff like guides or playing the game before release. They can't and won't attack the main problem until laws regarding the internet and private information are royally fucked in the ass even more than they are now.

Kids you know =/= every kid

Most kids still enjoy Pokemon, as evidenced by the toy sales.

If the company says it's a children's franchise, it's a children's franchise, end of story. TPC has the best marketers in the world working for them, they know their audience.

Call of Duty and other FPSs are marketed towards teenagers and adults, and yet they have plenty of kids playing it, especially middle schoolers who tried way too hard to be cool and mature.

They don't need to watch it to know about the Pokemon themselves. This is the Internet era, where everything you want to know is a click away. You're stuck in the 90's.

If sales are so great, and the reviews are so stellar, why are they posting videos advertising how "great" the game is on youtube, and filing lawsuits against leakers claiming financial injury? Regardless of what is true and what isn't -- which we may never know -- I think it's clear that the higher-ups at Nintendo are pretty pissed off about the whole thing. Will be interesting to see how they handle Game Freak from here on out.

There has to be at least SOMEONE at Nintendo that realizes they could have avoid this ENTIRE fiasco -- the bad PR, the endless bitching on every youtube video, twitter/facebook post, the twitter trending hashtags -- if they just delayed the game by six months to a year in order to add all the Pokémon and to polish the rough parts of it. None of this would have happened.

Nowhere are the games listed under their responsibilities. The only responsibility they have related to the games is marketing them.

Because these are actual people they can attack now (and discord is pretty keen in giving away information), not a faceless anonymous.
Also, this is most likely just a statement. An article saying they are disappointed or that they were hurt by the leakers isn't going to stop people from doing so. An actual lawsuit? That's the best damn PR statement they can make so normal people in the future think twice before trying to leaking information.

It still sells. You're trying to force a false equivalence. The fact that they CAN make money from kids (and otaku) watching the anime doesn't disprove the fact that, if the numbers are to be believed, people that don't watch it (below average viewership for a long ass time) are also a big component when it comes to merch sales.
