    well, yeah, pokemon has always been aimed at like the 10 year old age group (not saying that older people don't play it, just that the games were...made to be playable by that age group?)

    but... black and white are probably going to have an even more advanced plot (the games keep getting more advanced every generation), and the protagonist is said to be older than before. so this probably means that they're aiming the games now at a bit older of an age.

    you think this is true? what age group do you think the games will be aimed at?
     
    Well, it all the past ones were rated E for everyone, but I doubt that they'd rate B/W E10+ or T. But to an exact age, probably ages 8 and up. That's my guess.
     
    since pokemon still has a lot of fans that were playing pokemon r/b/g/y i gues they will be trying to please the older fans too but still keep the young new fans hooked on, so they obviously aim at 8-16 yo
     
    I don't see why they would change it. There are many fans of Pokémon that vary in age, that's why there is a Junior and senior competition for the Pokémon VGC.
     
    I always thought that pokemon was aimed at like 8-15 or 16. I don't think it will be specifically aimed anyone 16+.
     
    All ages. In Japan, everyone play video games, so this is supposed to be widespread
     
    im gessing 11-20... but my brother is 25 and he still lovess playing leafgreen and his saphire so its mostly set for Everyone
     
    All ages, obviously. BW is an attempt to attract older/former players while still drawing in new players.
     
    I think this hen is ment to still attract the older fans and still speak to newer ones

    well that's what I'm saying. the older fans. I'm thinking the games will have a bit more advanced stuff to appeal to the old fans, who are now about 15 years older. obviously the games still have to be playable by around 10 year olds, but I think the games will also have things that keep the game fun for the older players
     
    Guys, try to not give one liner answers (well, too general ones - like all ages), because I know this thread was intended to be a discussion regarding the demographic, not just what you think based on the past of Pokemon. I guess, state why you think so.

    For me, personally, I think it is aimed at both the younger and older fans - HG/SS attracted the older ones, and now with a new start, B/W is aiming to attract the younger kids, as well as the ones who've grown up with Pokemon - or might've gotten back into it due to HG/SS, which is represented by the older characters.
     
    I don't know if it will attract older fans after pre-released information on the games recieved some comments, especially on how horrid the designs of the new Pokémon look like. Some fans got disappointed especially because of the new Pokémon. Still, i'm on the idea of it being released and available for all ages because that's how Pokémon has been all this time. Though in reality you still need to know how to read to play..
     
    I'd say pokemon is aimed more at the older kids than the younger ones.
    well its aimed at everyone but little kids don't know anything about EV's IV's or competitive battles
     
    From the look, it still seems to be generated towards the younger crowd, even with the given "maturer" outlook, but system wise, the new battle systems seem to be aimed more towards the older members. The new systems require a more in depth look at competative battles as well as a certain level of thinking for battle combinations.
     
    I think it is aimmed at any age group that has money. All generally it seems it would be aimed at children like 6-13 but the older players that played the former games will be attracted as well. Btw topic creator you spelled "Black" wrong.
