i honestly dont understand how a lot of adults still play pokemon. if a few adults like the game i would understand that but it seems that tons and tons of teens and adults still are very much in love with what is a childs game. heck the game itself holds a terrible message, go around capturing and enslaving wild creatures and holding them in a small ball and force them to fight each other in a fight to the death. also the art style is extremely silly IMO

Have you ever played the games? 

Do you also feel this way about people who watch My Little Pony? Who play Little Big Planet/Mario? Etc...


i bought a gameboy color and i bought it specifically for one game, guess what game is that? 

i dont know about my little pony since i never seen anything regarding the show. i know a lot of adults watch it but thats about it so i cant really comment.

i played mario in the past and loved it and that really isnt a secret, i also enjoyed littlebigplanet a lot. while i do see these games as games desgined for children mostly i do understand why adults would love them, they are fun to play, its as simple as that. but with pokemon the main draw are the pokemon them selfs, which are created with children in mind and created to appeal to children, the look, desgin and art style are just for children, there is no denying that, and i know for some odd reason people will take that as a personal offensive but it really isnt, its just a reality and there is nothing wrong with it. the other thing are the characters, which are (from what i remember) children or teens, not really something adults would enjoy playing as. 

i tried playing pokemon on my gameboy a few years back (it still fucking works!) but i just couldnt, it was something that i outgrown and i couldnt understand why others couldnt see that its for children. this is coming from an animator who works on 3d cartoons, loves cartoons like spongbob and tom and jerry and loves 3d animation films like tangled and brave
