    And in the latest games you go to school and then they want you to explore the whole region. They absolutely shook up the plot by making the headmaster want you to explore rather than your mom! It’s revolutionary!

      I love that your Mom is like, “enjoy your school days, honey!” Whenever you visit from uncovering insane time travel bullshit or exorcizing demons or whatever.

      Tbf pokemon has cracked the code, nobody wants the plot shook up. They want new 'mons and new mechanics shit like berries and the RTC.

      That and let’s be real, these games are meant for kids. If you played RYBG, you’re kiiinda supposed to have aged out by now. Any kid picking up the new new it is expected that they did not play many of the previous gens. If you’ve picked up every one since the GBC, you should know what you’re getting yourself into.

        There’s a substantial competitive scene, mostly among adults. Lots of aspects of the game are built to cater to that competitive aspect. Kids aren’t the ones that are breeding hundreds of Larvesta in the hopes of getting one with the right nature.

        It’s intended for a dual audience - the kids want to go on picnics with the cute green kitty and the adults want to argue about whether to ban the string cheese.
