Yes because cartoons and video games are for kids, but adults can enjoy them as well. There is no shame in that. its like Dreamworks and Pixar movies, directed at kids but enjoyed by adults as well

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

This thought process needs to cease to exist. Video games are not for kids. Games are made to appeal to certain demographics, with kids being the dominant one.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

So you say that this thought process needs to cease to exist but then say basically the exact same thing later in your own post?

Most video games are targeted towards children, but that does not make video game only for children.

Candy is also targeted at kids, but that doesn't make candy for kids.

Yes, but there is a difference in adults enjoying games targeted at children and adults enjoying games that are targeting adults.

Definitely false.

IMO, anyone who considers Pokemon to be just a simple, shallow "kids only-game" is either lying or ignorant.

I think its a kids game but that doesn't keep me from enjoying it. It is a very nice entry level RPG and collecting/pwning people online is fun!



           Now Playing!

 

^ This is you!

True - Its a kids game... its a saturday morning kid cartoon!!

People who say "false" are just lying because their uncomfortable with themselves admitting they play kids games.

I'm perfectly comfortable playing kid games like Pokemon and Viva Pinata.
