A lot simpler to run pokemon than test an app, the game play by itself sometimes

Yes and no, I'd say. On one hand, apps tend to be used by even the most dumb person (they are "users" after all ;) ) and I'm sure there are more people out there who can use most apps enough than people who can beat Pokemon, even if one might generally be easier than the other.

It's kind of hard to judge though I guess, I played Pokemon (Red) last time when it launched in my country and I was like 8 or something, maybe I underestimate the average person but I feel like I overestimate people generally.
