POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Mutsukki]

@Mutsukki: But it's that same mindset why we can't have nice things~ Are we to assume, from that statement, that a series should never change up its old and tired formula a bit, because it's targeted for younger viewers? Anything released for kids, should never, EVER, update the formula they start from the first release. Otherwise, it will no longer be for kids, and suddenly be for just the older people. I hope that's not what that line means.

No, you're not to assume that from that statement. Seriously. The story is always good vs evil, that won't really change, it's for kids, it's not supposed to be pretentioud. You yourself said you wanted more "darker" tones, so I'm not sure what you're trying to defend here when you say it could change.

The games do work on some pretty good topics, Black/White (and 2) itself is on the topic of accepting others opinions and ideals, with the whole story about how N was misguided and what not too. Of course if you want to look at the surface "Kid vs evil team" then you won't get any substance out of it.

Plenty of younger kids have told me they like the cartoon more than the games because the games are boring. They're looking for characters and scenarios similar to the cartoon, and they aren't getting it.

The cartoon has a set main character, instead of yourself and flashy battles. And if anything, the cartoon is even more childish in plot development than the games, since that one is the one that has been singing the old tune for quite some time now (I think it's alright and even more for kids, but not the ideal adaptation of me).
