| Mr.Metralha said: And before you tell that it is a kiddy game, bear in mind that many of the CoD, CS and Halo players are 12 year old babies that like to scream at the mic. So, is pokemon one of Nintendo's hardcore franchises? |
Good way to justify this to Nintendo haters.
IMO, it really depends how you play it. Some fansites (Smogon) are set up around the aspect of competitive battling and definitely take the franchise to a hardcore level.
Personally, i stick to the casual approach. I start Pearl with the intention of doing WiFi battling, found building a strong online squad method too time consuming and gave up. Now I just enjoy the game and play how I want.
