Not yet, might follow after this stunt faces no lash back and results in profits.

I don't know though you've got to consider your target audience and their income method. The income method for the target audience of pokemon games is asking their parents.

I'd love to get some numbers on this because I could believe it's something like MLP:FiM, the target audience being kids but the main buyers being adults who enjoyed the show (or grew up with the games, in the case of Pokémon), anyway most parents just shell out money if it gets their kids off their back for a couple hours (examples are everywhere) and they don't even care if it's appropriate for their kids so I wouldn't doubt they (or any publisher at this point) could just pump the prices for a mediocre game and sell just as much as they have so far.
