Never touched the series after they started marketing for kids

It was always marketed at kids. The anime, ~~which came out a full year before the video game (in the USA),~~ was about a 10 year old boy. The video game was the same. Who do you think the audience was if not 10 year olds?

The games were released in 1996 in Japan and 1998 in the US. The anime aired in 1997 in Japan and 1999 in the US. So the games still came out before the show in the US.
