All you can do is introduce your kids or your nieces and nephews. Or your friends' kids. Oh wait, /vp/ is full of permavirgins with no friends. That's why we're here.

They're not far off. I'm 31. I'm probably going to finally fall off though in terms of keeping up. The Switch 2 being overpriced for what it does is likely going to filter me and others from Gen 10 onward. I don't have as much time to sit down and play and the portable console battery life sucks for me to be buying a new system. I can only spend time on mobile games or my hacked 3DS since I can always whip those out wherever.

Why do kids and young adults only play Roblox, GTA, and NBA2K? They hardly even play Fortnite anymore. Explain this mentality behind only playing 2-3 games and outright refusing to touch anything else.

Those three are the quintessential normie games. Not to mention kids like mature and edgy shit hence why they like GTA and even roblox which does have mascot horror slop and other autistic crap. Meanwhile Pokemon is making games for literal babies with piss easy difficulty, bad graphics and preschool cartoon level conflict and story telling. Kids don't give a fuck about that kind of stuff.

My nephew is 10 years old and he spends his time playing Roblox, multi tasking watching YouTube Shorts

I tried to get him to play Sonic Adventure 2 and he told me he really enjoyed it but it was too long and he got bored.

This kid types into search bars using the microphone on his tablet....

I thought it was all a meme that kids were like that, but no, it's all too real.
He'll probably never play through an entire Pokemon game from beginning to end.

Pokemon never really thought to get with the times. Gamefreak is under the impression you market games to millenials the exact same way you would to gen alpha
Nowadays kids demand action-packed gameplay and dramatic stories. Repackaging the same old "you're a kid who had a minor run in with one-note criminals and ended up saving the day with the power of friendship" while expecting kids not to grab their phone while they wait for Klawf's anger shell to finish proccing just plain won't work anymore.

Then Masuda will act like "Oh we can't include the battle frontier kids have no attention span it can't be helped [laughs]". They either need to adapt, or just keep selling kanto nostalgia bait to an aging populace which unfortunately has been working for them, so far.

I figured Kirby would be on the older end. Don't know why. It makes sense to be younger with how easy the games are, I just always got an older sort of vibe from Kirby fans online.
Surprised Zelda is so high with the Switch games making it the most relevant it's ever been in Japan. Thought that would bring in a lot of younger blood.

while that might be true, the growth markets are amongst kids. just because they stay fans, doesn't mean that you're converting 30 year olds into pokemon fans. so they will remain kid focused games.

Unironically TPCi/ect. needs to just finally bite the bullet and do the inevitable, and do an official Pokemon game on Roblox. It's been obvious for years that the nu gen kiddies want to play Pokemon on there badly (as the gorillion times Brick Bronze has been taken down only to come back have proven), and it's not stopping any time soon.

If Pokemon can be on mobileshit, why not get the inevitable next step done with Roblox to make infinite money off of kids who would be up to play and spend the annual GDP of a small country for benefits and so on? Besides, it's not like Game Freak can do any worse with the Roblox Studio engine than half the zoomers who have used it the past 5 years anyways.

Roblox is also on PS5 and Xbox. Having one of Nintendo's flagship franchises being playable on something that isn't a Nintendo console will not go well. Ever.
