""It's a kid's game" is one of the worst arguments in defense of these games."

I keep seeing this argument being thrown around to defend the dumbing down of Pokemon games.Pokemon has been a "kids game" since RBY, where hand-holding was essentially non-existent. There were dungeons, some of which made you problem solve to reach the end goal. Legendary Pokemon were hidden in these areas that were designed solely for these Pokemon, such as Seafoam Island, Power Plant, Cerulean Cave. These games weren't nearly as railroaded as SWSH. You had to solve puzzles to progress, such as in Silph Co.There are plenty more examples of how the older games made kids problem solve, but the basic message is that children do not need so much hand-holding. That was never what made kids fall in love with the franchise, and it's no excuse to gut the depth of the games to such an extent. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2CM8xQP
