I'm not saying you CAN'T like it. I'm just saying that it is a very kiddie game, obviously intended for children. I know some people, especially those with Peter Pan syndrome, actually like the game. But can we admit that it's a children's game and is very kiddie? Look at the evidence:
1. Targeted toward children (especially evident from the anime) 2. Extremely easy and child friendly...no real challenge 3. Very simple battle system...no real effort put into it (kids won't notice that) 4. Only real appeal is a collection factor which always sucks kids in 5. Cute little animals 6. Childish dialogue 7. Children's lessons to be learned in the anime. ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: User728 | #001 This isn't true. Just look to the ultra competitive metagame for proof. I would say that the target audience is children, but that it's made to appeal to a broader range of folks. Your list is very childish, however.

all of the over 600 pokemon have a very detailed analysis of what their strengths and weaknesses are probably hundreds of thousands of dollars are awarded in competitive pokemon tournaments annually. If it's "for kids," why don't you go out and win all these tournaments? You don't even have to catch or train your own Pokemon, you just pick their stats and moves, so don't say it's too time consuming or something -- Me_Pie_Three wants a SuperNiceDog for Christmas ...

I know some people, especially those with Peter Pan syndrome, actually like the game. But can we admit that it's a children's game and is very kiddie? Look at the evidence: 1. Targeted toward children (especially evident from the anime) Would you say the Super Mario Brothers Super Show is anything like the video game its based upon? Anime =/= games 2. Extremely easy and child friendly...no real challenge Have you played any of the Pokemon games before? I wouldn't say it's overly hard, but catching legendaries can be downright frustrating sometimes. Also, trainers at the end of the game (Elite Four, etc) can be pretty challenging to beat. 3. Very simple battle system...no real effort put into it (kids won't notice that) You could argue the same about first person shooters rated M. How difficult is it to point a crosshair at an enemy and fire? Not very. The same could be said about games like Dragon Quest. The battle system is your typical RPG turn based system. There are options on the menu. You pick one. It doesn't mean it's kiddy stuff or has no effort put into it. It just means not everything has to be complicated to be fun. 4. Only real appeal is a collection factor which always sucks kids in Fans of RPGs also enjoy this game. 5. Cute little animals So the Dragon Quest series is only for kids now too? How about Final Fantasy? 6. Childish dialogue Again, have you played any of them? Sure, the main characters are always kids, but the enemies don't coddle them and give them toys. They want to take over the world and other crazy stuff. Sounds the same as most video game dialog honestly. 7. Children's lessons to be learned in the anime. Repeating yourself here.

It's main appeal is children, but it's for everyone. Honestly your arguments are pretty bad. You're just answering everything people say, by saying "yeah, for children" or something like that.

From: User728 | #008 lmao no. There are teens/adults that take Pokemon tournaments very seriously. 1. Targeted toward children (especially evident from the anime) Support your argument with your argument 2. Extremely easy and child friendly...no real challenge Easy =/= Kids game. Almost every M-rated shooting game is easy than Pokemon. 3. Very simple battle system...no real effort put into it (kids won't notice that) Most early RPGs.... 4. Only real appeal is a collection factor which always sucks kids in Yes, because only kids collect things. It's not like adults collect stamps or anything! This ones good. 5. Cute little animals Ever heard of Conker's Bad Fur Day? How about the Woodland Critters on South Park? 6. Childish dialogue No? Just because there isn't a cuss word every line (Call of Duty) doesn't mean it's childish. There's crazy fools trying to take over the world, and then you have the antagonist of White/Black... adults would be easily confused by the way he talks. 7.

Its marketed primarily to children, end of story. For children only, though? Nah. (the show, though, I would say so)
#1 and #7 only apply to the Anime, and #5 and #6 are partially valid.; obviously there are no mature themes and the art is enjoyed most by kids. The games are not hard, but I say they are more difficult than, say, most Final Fantasies. -- Congrats to SuperNiceDog on besting me in the Guru challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard!
