Dude, Z-A isn't a flagship. It's in the Legends line and not a mainline release. The numbers aren't so lopsided when you look at mainline games.

Also, these are two different target audiences again. Palworld is aimed at us who grew up with Pokémon and now have disposable income. Pokémon is still aimed at a younger audience.
Even if that's their target audience, it doesn't matter because that's not who is buying and playing them the most. And guess what matters most? It's the group that are actual paying customers.
Not to Nintendo or Gamefreak. They care more about their next customer, not their current customer.
You're completely missing/ingoring mine and the other user's point.
Sure, they might focus on a certain demographic as theur customer, but that's not what actually makes them money. They're not paying attention to reality and it's going to bite them in the ass
But be honest here.
Has it ever bit them in the ass?
