Pong sucks though. Not even kidding, that's what most kids will say. Nirvana is educational pokemon.

You have to learn to crawl before you can walk. Many aspiring game developers seem to want to start off making first person zombie shooters in Unity and they suck too.

Although maybe start with Arkanoid or Space Invaders. Maybe Pong is too simple.

It's not about simplicity and more about what kids are attracted too.
