When will GF acknowledge the fact that their audience is growing

Yes, that's why the 20 year old Pokémon get all of the love, to pander to the children most familiar with them

Weren't the Black/White protagonists 15?

>>30033122
So how exactly do you want them to "acknowledge" it?

>>30033122

Kids grow up into late-teens adults who pass it onto their kids, meaning more money and free intergenerational advertising

pokemon isn't really meant to grow with kids, it's meant to catch 'em all at the gate so they're hooked for life

Well,in xy looker says you are too old to be his assistant, and emma is canon 16, which means younare older than her


but then again you're ten in SM so fuck gamefreak tbqh senpai

>>30033395
Mature doesn't mean "edgy" you buzzword spouting fucktard. Also why are you using spongebob reaction images on motherfucking /vp/? Get out faggot

>>>/out/

>>30033453
The X/Y protags are even older iirc.

Kids are the best target audience desu. They are easily impressed and they don't whine or moan like adults do.

>>30033122
Just because you will never reproduce, don't mean other people will not.

Wich they did, that's why there's actual children enjoying Pokémon right now, and why they are the target audience for the series.

>>30033453
>>30033971
Is there any source for their age? I know some fags love to sperg about Serena being 18 just so they don't feel bad about themselves for finding a child attractive.

But Pokémon mcs have always been children, and if BW/BW2/XY protags are older, they a bunch of manlets, since they are barely any taller than the previous protagonists.

>>30034149
All we really have to go on is that we know Emma is 16, and she and Looker both make mention of the fact that you're older than she is. 17-18 seems about right.

But...they did.

That's the whole reason Red and Blue/Green are adults. You got the retards who think "96" is the year they were born, but it's the anniversary of when they started their journey. Both of them are 31 now.

I started watching pokemon at 9 in '98. So it was something super nice to see them age up like I have, even if I'm still playing an 11 year old in the game.

Have you not noticed all of the genwun pandering this gen?

I remember a pool they took during the BW era that said a huge section if the fanbase is early 20s

>>30033122
I got pretty old indeed, but I have not bought a Pokèmon since Silver anyway. No need to pander to me.

>>30034954
Yes, just like Pripara and Aikatsu, but being targeted at children is also part of why it's popular with adults.

Pokémon is good thanks to it's lighthearted nature that only get's a bit darker and mature sometimes.

>>30034640

What GF has done is kinda brilliant in it's own twisted way. Handholding for modern kiddies with no attention span, genwun pandering for older normies and waifus for neckbeards.

But apparently SM are at least a bit more challenging than XY. Can't say for myself because Yuropoor.

Concerning the pic... Any Lucario pandering this time around?

>>30033453
Will we ever get sexy protags like BW again?

>>30034443
>Both of them are 31 now.
I dont think there is really a 20 year canon gap between red and blue to sun and moon.

Did they say they were 31?

>>30034444
All the Genwun pandering last gen makes it less noticeable.

Yes, it should be like Berserk, lot's of gay dudes, suffering and violence.

Sex. Yes, Or Romance with muh waifus. Girl PCs get something but with a boy or something

Gladion eventually gets a lucario but that's it

I worked the midnight release at my gamestop, there was but 1 child out of a hundred people.

>>30033122
What?
The plot of the games revolves around the idea of growing up and encountering the world as its aspects are represented by collectible monsters.
You can't really get that across if the protag is 37. Also, imagine how weird the games would be if an adult was the main character.. It'd be a fucking mess.

>>30033178
Sauce?

>>30034443
If you are almost 30 why are you browsing /vp/?

>>30036664
Why not?

>>30033122
I want young Pokegirls but a more shounen like plot. The games are also too simplistic and are on a level they should be 10 years ago.

>>30036737
>I want a series of games to be a different series of games and completely disregard the entire point behind the series of games
Maybe you could just play different games as well.

Agreed.
The original target audience is in their late 20's-early 30s now.

Future gens should only allow you to be the Pokemom or Pokedad and you should do nothing but cook or clean around the house while occasionally calling your son/daughter and cheating on your husband/wife.

>>30034614

I want to toss Krys over my shoulder.

>>30034640

Agreed

Shut the fuck up. They're not pandering to autists, they're marketing towards children. It's not all about (You).

>>30033122
The real question is when will /vp/ acknowledge that kids still play pokemon games. Ya the kids who they marketed to 20 years ago are older, but there are still kids for them to market to. Why would GF and Nintendo stop making kids games because some kids grew up?

It's just the autistic posters on the board getting worked up again because the product they're randomly fanatical about doesn't market itself specifically to them and instead continues to be what it is supposed to be and do what it is supposed to as regards the point of the games.

>>30037311

That is the demographic with the least amount of money
