>>51461513Anon, you had lost ANY hope of making any kind of statement, the JIFFY the brand hit US stores and took off. Understand? You never had any agency regarding the direction of the brand, as kids everywhere were already buying in heavily and those with younger siblings pozzed them, which helped propagate the brand further.
People AVOIDED the GBA like the plague, Pokémon still sold 16m copies and took the top three spots for overall system sales. When you get that kind of response, despite the system underperforming elsewise, you don't need to listen to the squeakers - you don't need to change to satisfy them.
