The target audience, as was presented to me, was both people who have never picked up a Pokemon game and people who have been playing since the start. There's a reason Nintendo calls it an expanded audience. I for one came into the games as an adult. Many people who enjoy the series are adults. Many parents play with their children. The target audience isn't just little kids.

I really don't like people acting as if as if I'm only a mature gamer if I play things rated T or M. I don't like most of those games--a lot of them are FPS which make me nauseated. Why should I be looked down upon for liking "kiddy" games--or anything really--that's fun for me?

What's the saying? "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." ~ C. S. Lewis.

well okay, that's how you've seen it presented, i've always seen the opposite. i've been playing since blue & red came out too, i still play it, i know tons of people who played the first ones still play it as adults, but i still see mostly young kids playing it sooooo
& all the ads at my local game stores have it targeted towards kids... i'm probably wrong, i'm sorry if i made you upset.

also i never implied anything about what makes a mature gamer??? please don't put words in my mouth. i don't care what other people play, what they enjoy is what they enjoy right?

I wasn't snapping at you personally about mature gaming, so please slow your roll. I was putting it out in the air that it pisses me off that so much of "mature" gaming consists of shit I don't like.

it just seemed like it was something i said that made you go into the mature gamer thing, just kinda came out of nowhere. my bad

I thought this one was at least a bit more geared towards older kids; they even made the MCs older.

Not to mention this (actual screengrabs from the game).

holy shit i havent got that far yet. is that for real???
i knew about how they made the mcs older, and the plot seems more serious than the older ones, so yeah i definitely agree with you on the older kids thing.

I haven't played far enough to know if the translators realized what a TERRIBLE idea putting that in there would be and changed it, but that's the literal translation. (Meaning that's def. what the Japanese says, too.)

But yeah, I don't think Pokemon was ever for older OR younger kids - I always thought it was nicely neutral about it's 'intended audience'. =)

It's almost worth a restart as a boy for me, JUST to see it. XD;

Yesss, lmfao.

Being a prostitute is bad enough, but a sixteen year old boy...

At least it's not as bad as it has been... weren't the kids in the older games supposed to be like 10? 8'D

Haha, yes. xD
... It doesn't really help that Black looks a lot like Red. Fake ID?

[identity profile] knuddeluff.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've seen a lot of older people (even people in their late 20s) get into it. I think we'd consider this series more of a family friendly, like Doctor Who--
