RayOxide Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Why are there people in this world that think a G rated game isn't allowed to be played by a 30+ year old? The best example is probably Pokemon, yet in the advert for the Mario Party game on Wii has people aged approximately 20-35... Lock this if you feel it's 'spam' I don't think it is. Move it if it's in the wrong spot, please. Thanks. ~R.O. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocobodude0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Because, come on, let's be honest, it's a game targeted at the 8-12 yeard old audience. That by no means makes it a bad game, btu if you're playign it and not expecting to be made fun of, well, that stinks. And I dunno if I'll get flamed for this, but there are better handheld RPGs than Poke'mon, such as Final Fantasy Tactics Advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayOxide Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Yes, Choco, it is aimed at 8-12, yet it's only AIMED. And there probably are better RPG's than Pokemon :wink: I just don't understand how people put an age limit on Pokemon, but not Mario Party games (Etc) :notalk: I dont need a siggy no moar.

EDIT: here we are...read up 1990's KIDS!! READ!!!! 1990's KIDS!!! READ!!!!!! You have to read all of this!! Remember when beepers was the thing to have : ) If you are under the age of 13...you should not read this and if you do, you should not repost this. Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it. You're a 90's kid if: You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ] You remember watching: -Doug -Ren & Stimpy -Pinky and the Brain -AAAAAAAH Real Monsters! -Rockos modern Life. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!" You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philidelphia born and raised . . ." You remember: -TGIF -Step by Step -Family Matters -Dinosaurs -Boy Meets World. You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons. You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school. You remember reading "Goosebumps" You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence . . . not when everyhting was settled by -rock paper scissors or -bubble gum bubble gum in a dish or -daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky. when cops and robbers was a daily activity. when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb. when we used to obey our parents You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time. "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show. Captain Planet. He's a Hero. You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together. ??? You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular. You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny. You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders" You remember watching: -The Magic School Bus -Wishbone -Reading Rainbow on PBS. You remember when Yo-Yos were cool. You remember those Where's Waldo books. You remember eating Warheads. You remember watching: -the 1st Batman -Aladdin -Ninja Turtles -3 Ninjas movies. You remember Ring Pops. You remember drinking Surge, and Tang. If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!" When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos. You remember boom boxes vs. cd players. Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them. You played and/or collected "Pogs" :) You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere. . . . Furbies. You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet. And Windows 95 was the best. You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles. Michael Jordan was a king. YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff! All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand. You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out You collected those Beanie Babies. Carebears Gak was the coolest stuff invented. Lambchop's song never ended. The old dollar bills. Silver dollars, which were cool to have. You remember a time before the WB. You collected all the Troll dolls If you even know what an original walkman is. You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch. You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" You know the Macarena by heart. "Talk to the hand" . . . enough said You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!" You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace. You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground. Before the MySpace frenzy . . . Before the Internet & text messaging . . . Before Sidekicks & iPods . . . Before MIKE JONES . . . Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . . Before Spongebob . . . Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night. When light up sneakers were cool. When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs. When gas was $1.35 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing. When we recorded stuff on VCRs. When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkman. When checking out drawing books and that one book about the rainbow fish from the library was THE cool thing to do. You had slap braclets! Way back. Before we realized all this would eventually disappear. Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!! IGNORE THESE FOUR WORDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazbot Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Pokemon is seen as a young kid's game (around 10 years old) but little kids have no idea where to go and what to do, the puzzles, etc are way too hard for a 10 year old to complete without help from an older person, so even though it is seen as a little kids game it is probably good for more developed minds, maybe at around 13 and up to complete the missions. You are now dead, after the tone please press 3....BEEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nintendo are trying to get all new gamers into buying their products. If you are on the London Underground and look at the ads on the tubes you'll see posters of businessmen in suits, granddads, professional women, housewives etc. Games arnt just for kids.

Gamerr Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 It's allowed to play by older people, but the challenge & fun you could experience is low if you're older. If Nintendo rates it for under a certain age, people who are older then the advised age & buy the game, don't like it, will understand that maybe this isn't the kind of game for their age. The advantage? They won't generalise the fact that Nintendo makes bad games, but just accept the fact that some games are not challenging for them. As Mercifull said, game producers are trying to improve their sales on other people then kids. Eg. Nicole Kidman commercial to promote brain training.

warren211 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Pokemin may seem like a silly kids game, but really ther afre a lot of complex aspects that kids cant understand. EV training and stat raising is all about increasing the numbers that go behind the scenes from an attack. decide whether to max out your offensive, or raise your incredibly low defensive on slow pokemon. compare stats to find that pokemon that seem good may actually be a team nub. How can little kids understand all this? As far as their concerned, just use the move on the bad guy and beat him up. there's a lot more behind it, and Nintendo helps make sure it is reached. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers.

Next, Heartless18, i think some of your 90's stuff is confused with 80's stuff :P And finally, when i think of a 30 year old pokemon player, i think of either a nerd who collects comic book dolls like Comic Book Guy but worse from the Simpsons, or a plain and simple paedophile. :-# Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wow, you want somebody to kill themselves over a message on an internet forum? Methinks you take stuff a little too seriously. I'm 21 in a month. I mostly play Pok̮̩̉̉mon Diamond on train rides. The 8-12 age group really seems too young for some of the more complicated parts of the game (EV training, breeding, etc.).
