Except kids don't give a shit about Pokémon, and the only ones that do is because of their parents.

    I got twin 6year olds. Pokemon is huge in their circles. Played through one of the latest games with them on switch over the last year.

    I'd be interested in understanding if people who think Pokemon is becoming irrelevant spend any time outside of Lemmy or their own circles. I see so much hate for Nintendo and Pokemon specifically, but as a parent and someone who spends a lot of time at kids' activities, I see no sign of either slowing down.

    I may not like Nintendo as a business and a lot of Pokemon games are too similar for my taste, but pretending they are in decline seems crazy to me.

    They're out of touch but don't realize it for the exact same reasons that theyre out of touch in the first place. It's literally just the Abe Simpson speech about not being "with it" anymore

    Except I guess in this case, they're still with it, just don't realize that it is still... It? I've lost my own plot

    That just isn't true. Pokemon never became unpopular, but only had some lesser years. I have a 13 yo half brother and pokemon has been an ever popular thing in his whole school.
