>b-but it's a kids franchise!kids don't know what pokemon is, especially post-pandemic. There's not a single kid in my family who knows what pokemon is. FNAF and Among Us are more popular than pokemon. Poppy's Playtime is more popular than Pokemon.
Adults buy the merch, Adults play the games (mostly, not the trannies in this board obviously). Pokemon is practically an adult franchise.
