I think gen 8 will be focused on older fans than kids

>>32856700
I'd rather have a harder game than kanto pandering

>>32856733
Maybe both

Yes, screw kids, they don't deserve good entertainment!

>>32856771
I think i could live without kanto pandering

>>32856953
Not at all what I said. They don't have money or parents will think it's too expansive

>>32856700
>>32856733

kids who were 10 in 1998 are going to be 30 in 2018. No fucking 30 year old still plays pokemon, I don't care how much of a fucking neckbeard you are.

"Older fans" just means dumb 16-21 demographic, which is still kids in today's day and age. Catering to actual adults would be suicide financially. Oh yeah, and those 16-21 year olds first games were probably Diamond and Pearl, not gen 1. Older fans doesn't = gen 1 anymore. It means gen 3/4 because people who were kids in gen 1 don't play anymore

>It's 299 hard for kids to afford
>59.99 Americans and 79.99 Canadian compared to 39.99 and 49.99 for 3ds games
>Paid online
Seriously? Those are your fucking arguments?

>>32856700
>It's 299 hard for kids to afford

Yeah it's too bad kids can't just convince someone to buy it for them.

>>32856982
not sure if bait.

I am 30 and still playing pokemon, well more competitive than everything else, but still.
you don't know how many people from the good old RBY times still playing, not everyone is a retarded genwunner or stops playing just because he is "old(er)" now.

>>32856733
Are we still celebrating the 20th anniversary by that point?

If yes, then expect genwunner pandering

I hope you aren't implying that advertising to teens and adults doesn't get kids interested or that plenty of parents don't buy big ticket items and online subscriptions for their kids.

Also they said some games won't need paid online anyways, MHXX already won't.

>>32856982
>you had to be ten to play Pokemon
>thirty year olds aren't playing Pokemon

>>32856982
kill yourself you underaged brainpiss.

>>32857020
No, it would be the 22nd anniversary

>>32856982
I play since 1998, still playing and I'm close to 31, I play with my wife together and we love the pokemon core games.

>>32856993
Switch tv ads are gears towards teens and adults

>>32857041
Yes and? More money =/= less children.

>>32857016
>>32857039

everyone I know stopped playing. You're in the minority.

Kids/teens are still the biggest market

>>32856982
I'm 34 and I still play. Not as much as I used to, of course, but I don't play vidya much in general any more.

>Only adults enjoy kid stuff!
Go back to >>>/co/

>>32857058
Highest selling Pokemon games were red and blue 40 million.

The newer games have not maintened half that.

More people let the than stayed doesn't mean some people didn't continue playing

>>32857058
Reminder that official statistics say that ever since HGSS the amount of adults playing the games outnumber the amount of children.

Reminder that it is exactly because of this that they attempt to pander to children harder in recent times.

>>32857058
anecdotes are not evidence

for the record I agree with you but you're still wrong

>>32857108
Source?

>>32857058
dude, kids play COD and weebfucker simulators these days. I'm pretty sure that the 25-35 years old people are 20-25% of the community.

Me (30), my brother (29), my best friend (32) and his brother (30), we all play since the beginning together till these days, sure, we don't run to pokemon days and random vgc events, but we still play and we have fun, and no, we are not fat neckbeards, we all have a good life with our wifes and some of us have kids.

that sounds like an awesome dream man.

I just play for my own because I don't know any pokemon players in my age besides pokemon GO, and I HATE pokemon GO.

>>32857039
You forgot a u in that

Generation 5 was more mature, and there wasn't much gen 1 pandering in BW at all

Note that Nintendo themselves don't have much control over what GF and TPC does with the games.

So even if Nintendo wants to market more to older gamers, I highly doubt TPC will give a shit and will continue marketing towards kids.

>>32857108
gonna need source on this buddy

>>32856982
24, first game was Pokemon Red, still playing Pokemon, please fuck off!

>>32856700
A Pokemon game for the entire family, huh?

>>32856700
Black and White was also aimed at the older audience, mind.

I don't think your points are very justifiable, either. Unless you're going to claim that Mario Kart, Splatoon, and so on aren't aimed at kids either.
>>32856982
Did you just admit you're underaged?

And did you further just assume that your first game had to be the one newest one? I started in 2002, and still went through the process of Yellow -> Red -> Blue -> Gold -> Silver -> Crystal before even touching Ruby and Sapphire.

>>32856700
All they really need to do is release a game with a hard mode available from the beginning and not hidden behind an incredibly retarded wall.

>>32858722
Not comparable racer and paintball to an rpg

>>32858758
are you retarded? Did you just say that three kids game's can't be compared when the argument is the system isn't kid friendly, because they come from different genres?

>>32858722
>I started in 2002,
to be fair, RS wouldn't have been out yet, the gameboy color would still be on the market, and the newest games would have been GSC.
iirc DPPt were still readily available when BW launched
>>32857850
>club nintendo
i think that skews it a bit, no? not that there is any better way to survey.
>>32857216
>Note that Nintendo themselves don't have much control over what GF and TPC does with the games.
"source" is a tough thing to as for here, but whats your reasoning for that statement?

>>32859774
>i think that skews it a bit,
because girls are more/less likely to register their game then boys?

>>32856700
>It's 299 hard for kids to afford
>Even if a price drop happens for switch the games cost.
>59.99 Americans and 79.99 Canadian compared to 39.99 and 49.99 for 3ds games
You know modern kids are spoiled right? Their parents will just give in to their whining and buy a Switch.

>>32856700
>It's 299 hard for kids to afford
>to afford
You are aware that the parents buy the systems, right?

I don't care what you say.
I'm gonna still playing Pokémon when I'm 80.

Pokémon is rated E for everyone

>>32859774
Nintendo have not control on pokemon

>>32859774
Game freak created Pokémon.
Nintendo just owns Pokémon trademark

>>32859860
Except they own the franchise,retard

I can't see pokemon in its current state being a on a home console unless they really change shit up. Pokemon has so much potential but it always feels restricted by itself of that makes sense.

>>32859874
But a mainline title was already confirmed for Switch next year or later.

>>32856700
>I'm not sure how they can make kiddish like sun and moon.
SM has more mature elements than the past titles though.
But yeah you all are probably the kind of people who think that Digimom Tamers is childish because the main characters are kids.
