>>48256301>go is the same demographics as Game Freak's games, honestNo GO is the adult equivalent of the plasticy toy shite they sell at kids. They managed to finally harness the oldfags to hand over money blindly to the brand, while the kids continue to give money blindly to the brand for plushies, keychains, stickers and whateveer else shite they make and sell.
Meanwhile, Game Freak continue to make the games as they do, almost as if THEY understand GO demographics and their own target demographics rarely intersect, unless under parental supervision, as directed by term of GO.
That's the thing son, kids aren't able to be data-harvested, so they're irrelevant to mobile gaming devs (whales ultimately give them more money than timmy on mummy's CC). They're the entire focus of Game Freak however, as they're not arsed trying to sell the kids to advertisers, but sell the kids on the brand.
