Bitter Realities

>SM is going to be just as handholding, if not moreso, than XY

If that's true than I'm not going to buy anymore games after this except for when they make a region based somewhere in Canada and Black/White remakes. X/Y really fucking disappointed me and I already am regretting my decision to preorder Moon, but I want to see if they redeem themselves.

I hope you just not assuming this

>waahh a game for children will be easy

I know, right? Why can't they just replace the d-pad and face buttons with one big red "WIN" button that you just hold and the game literally plays itself? It is for children after all.

As much as people will say that kids these days have lower attention spans and get frustrated when they can't figure out something fast enough, I don't believe it's true.

By pandering to these things kids are taught from a younger age that if things aren't easy something is wrong with said thing. Don't get basic multiplication? It must be the teacher. Didn't pass a class? The professor must have had a grudge. Didn't get a promotion? The boss isn't fair.

The true problem is is that everyone else made these judgements instead of trying to figure out the reason WHY kids were tuning out. Kids like a challenge, but it has to be done in a way that appeals to them and in a way their brain can figure it out with the right amount of difficulty.

Instead of videogame developers handing everything out they should change the way they do focus studies. Try different puzzles, or pick up a fucking child psychology book.

For example instead of giving out compliments to a child who just did a drawing you should ask them why try drew what they did, and why they used a certain colour or a certain technique. Don't believe me? Next time you're hanging out with your niece, little cousin, and they do something try asking them thought-provoking questions having to do with something they created. Kids (and people in general) love to talk about themselves.
