Is Pokemon really aimed just for Children?

Children ages 7-12 are the target audience, but it's not like one Saturday morning the SWAT team is going to bust through your windows and place you under arrest. Watching Pokemon is legit for all ages. I'm 13 and I still watch the anime.

You say that like there is a massive difference between being 12 and being 13. I'm 20 and I've been watching the show ever since it started airing way back when, so I'm not going to stop now.

You're 13?! Wow, how do you even remember the good ol' days when you were 12?

Pokemon is for all ages, although I think the certain parts of the franchise have things aimed at specific demographics, while still maintaining it for children.

In short:

It's aimed at children roughly aged 7-12.

Does this stop longrunning watchers who were that age when the show first started from watching it? No.

Therefore the show is for everybody.

Pokemon is aimed ofr anyone who loves Pokemon. They have grown old men in Japan who have Pikachu dolls in their offices. It's for whoever plays the games or watch the show.

I think it is, because most kids play and watch it as a kid, and notice how childish it is at times.

It's generally for children, although anyone can watch it. I think its more acceptable in Japan for any age to like Pokemon.... as for the US, it is for children & people would probably make "WTF" faces to anyone older who still likes it. I'm 20 & I still watch it. Don't plan on stop liking Pokemon either.

Not only the US, just anywhere that isn't Japan infact the UK would probably get an even worser response if people knew older people play it.

It's annoying, im 17 and won't stop liking Pokemon, it's why i've never told anybody I watch it/play the games.

Its like GTA. The game is aimed for adults but kids play it. So age really doesn't matter. If you like it play it.

I believe Pokemon is targeted at children. Obviously the creators are very pleased with tons of other people liking it too though

It really is aimed at children. But I'd say it's simplicity is also meant to make the series appealing to people outside of the fandom and gather some interest in the games.

A good thing is that Pokemon doesn't have any (or has few) love stories. This is quite original because most Anime and movies nowadays revolve around this subject.

It might be interesting to add a little more gore to Pokemon.

Pokemon is aimed for the majority of the people who can understand it.
