Imagine if...

Hades0918

Pokémon made a rated T game, now having Blood and Violence

Would you still be interested in the game?

How would you feel about Pokémon after that?

What would you be thinking?

I would absolutely get it

I would hope they still make kid friendly stuff but that they make other games like this in the future (probably a Legend game or Spinoff)

I would definitely be surprised but intrigued

It doesn't fit them. Considering that they are a children based audience, focusing on them. And then, that would likely include hurting Pokemon, which they wouldn't like.

I can see that

A teen Pokémon virtual novel would interest me

it depends if it’s rated teen just cause it tries to be a bit more edgy probably not if they are trying to make a better game and the cost it has to be rated T then probably

Good thought process

I honestly don't think I would want one that was rated T because overall then it would be really odd and nothing like a normal Pokémon game.
However, I do like it when the manga are darker than the actual games. That I enjoyed.
What I want for rated T games is more Legend of Zelda.

While I wouldn't avoid the game, I feel like it trying to be edgier wouldn't add much. However, I might be interested in different Pokemon media like the anime more seriously exploring dark topics.

Hmm...

I like that view of things
