If the pokemon games were designed for a child audience then why are there so many complexities within the games (in RB it was IVs and the RNG)? The anime, singleplayer and non-Japanese dubs of the manga are definitely at children but the rest of the game, the TCG and the Japanese manga seem to be more aimed at teens (seriously so much content in the earlier mangas had to be censored before it could be sold outside of Japan)
