minus-square@Syrclink3•edit-21 year ago 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.

minus-square@Syrclink2•1 year agoFrom 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”.
