Yes dude. Really. I thought it was for 4th graders, max. I thought it was akin to Teletubbies etc. Sorry to offend any players in their 20's, obviously I have no Pokemon experience, I just remember it's core demographic when I was a teen (which was children). At the time, anyone my age (15 at the time, maybe) was considered far too old to be playing it. Times are a-changin' though, 15 year-olds are far younger-minded these days then 15 years ago, when I was 15. Again, no offense to anyone. Love you guys. Even you 37 year old Pikachu masters.
If you ask just about anyone why they would choose a nintendo over a Xbox/Ps3 they will name off some first party games as a reason to go with nintendo. I agree that they do have some of the best games and maybe that should be what they focus on. Drop the hardware and do what you do best games. I used to love nintendo but I no longer can buy a system for a few first party games. Maybe people wouldn't agree with me but IMO nintendo would be better if they made their amazing games for other platforms.
