  I'd bet there would be a huge market for a more adult/darker version of a Pokémon movie, series or games. If done right ofcourse. >
  
  Even just Pokémon Legends: Arceus did incredibly well. It had a protagonist who was ambiguously a late teen/young adult, with minor survival elements.
  They barely dipped their toe into "adult" and it's one of if not the best product they've made. >
  
  The new one, scarlet/violet, is a bit darker with the plot toward the end. It's really cool too >
  
  Isn't the main character being a teenager with seemingly 20+ years of experience a defining characteristic of these kind of Japanese games? >
  
  So is the unexpected kick ass granny, we can't play her? >
  
  Yeah but to be fair the granny is also usually a little girl as well. >

  i wanna play as a 72-year old trainer whose older than oak
  just waltzing up to claim a squirtle and he's like "for your grandson?" "no, for me. i'm gonna be the very best like no one ever was" >
