Honestly speaking, I think any die hard pokemon fan from gen 1 who woke up from a coma will give the latest mainline pokemon game a chance. Pokemon games always have controversy every gen, so people's reaction (or more accurately, very loud social medias) have been evolving for each game, and also getting much louder too. But if the person was completely unaware of gen 2-current, he couldn't have really followed any of the controversy easily, thus getting the game without too much thinking.
Now if I was the one in a coma and woke up 20 years later, I'd still give any of the latest pokemon games a chance. Pokemon was my go to video game, and if I see a pokemon game, I would want to have it again regardless of whatever controversy is going on. If I actually went on a social media and read the negative responses, I would immediately think everyone hates the game, but I think I'd be in denial and try the game anyway, because I have always loved pokemon as a kid. I think the saddest part would be losing the experience to play gen 2-current. I'm pretty sure I can take in a lot of pokemon at once (even with the dex cut), but I don't think I'd be focused into pokemon nearly as much as I am now.
That's of course assuming I don't have to worry about anything else and I can just focus on video games right away after waking up from a 20 years coma
