I've been thinking about this question for a while..

We all know gaming evolves, engines becomes more modern, graphics, details, the whole package just gets upgraded at once. Now the question is though, what if developers kept the oldschool games/engines/graphics, but extended on the story/campaigns?

As an example, if Pokemon games were just like they were on the old days of gameboy. (yellow, blue, red, silver, gold) compared to what it is now with Y / X, literally became more and more kid friendly with the theme and all that.

So the question here is. IF lets say game freak/nintendo would make a completely new series of pokemon, but the style/engine/graphics is exactly like pokemon silver like in the old days. Would you, as an adult who played pokemon as a child, still buy it or doesn't it really matter that much? Do we eventually grow up from games regardless, or does the games simply just force their way out of us?

I have mixed opinions. I would say, games like pokemon I would definitely go back to play the series if it was made oldschool-ish, Hell, I'll even buy a brand new gameboy just for this, but games like FIFA, yeah these just better be upgraded as much as possible, they're simulators overall. This definitely also applies for oldschool consoles and games like commodore 64, sega etc.

If games still were made just like in the old days of your gaming career, but with a whole new storyline, campaign and adventures, would you come back to gaming

Do I keep playing games like pokemon silver, or do I just get over it and make new games?
