>>45478671>they still consume it as hard as you did when you were in pull-ups.Not really, though. Not saying the games aren't targeted at them, mind you, because they clearly are, but kids nowadays don't care about Pokemon like we did back in the day, and it shows. I work a lot with kids, or at least did before the pandemic, plus my own family members and their friends and the only aspects of the franchise they care about is GO and some random non-official card packs sold at random stores. They don't care for the games or plushies or whatever. Most of them have a PS4 and PCs and play stuff like Minecraft, Fortnite,
agar.io,
slither.io, or whatever random games they find on those "1000 games online" sites. Even my 11 cousins have asked me to share my Steam library with them because they want to play more "mature" games like DMC and RE "just like our friends do".
Again, not saying GF doesn't focus on kids but the reality is that they don't really give much of a shit about Pokemon. Those that do probably do so because their parents played and want to pass it down to them or something, but on their own they don't really care past GO. Hell, some barely even know what the Switch is, they only know of the PS4's existence because it's the "cool" console, and many parents refuse to buy the Switch because "it's more of the same, why bother".
