    90s kids just need to come to terms with the fact that Pokemon is for children.

    It’s not “for children”, it’s “all-ages”. Like Mario. And that doesn’t stop it from releasing almost consistently great games.

    Its target audience is irrelevant to the matter, it’s simply that Gamefreak got lazy as fuck and just decided to go for the easy cash.

      After playing Scarlet, I don’t even necessarily think it’s deliberate. The game is plagued by incompetence more than anything else.

        From what I’ve seen it screams “we could’ve probably released a good game with another year of development, but who cares, it’s still gonna sell”.

          It would definitely have been better, but I think part of the incompetence is in the design.
