Pokémon GO is a game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. According to The Pokémon Company, the immensely popular mobile title is even attracting the elderly toward smartphone games. “The smartphone is basically a device for people who are 13 and older,” company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara said in a recent interview. “Even small children can play console games. Pokemon Go has helped Pokemon fans in their 20s and 30s who had left Pokemon behind to rediscover the charm of the game series and the characters. Interestingly, Pokemon Go is helping the elderly, people in their 50s to 60s, discover the fun of smartphone games. In Western markets in particular, “Pokemon Go” players are typically shifting to console gaming. Altogether, the number of players is increasing.” Ishihara also recently said that a new device to play Pokemon GO is under consideration.
