No, I'm too old to have played Pokemon so I don't know what it's like. I was barely young enough to appreciate FF7 at release. I'm genuinely asking because the only clips I've ever seen show one-on-one combat which to me seems like it would be even more simplified than Final Fantasy.

No, he's wrong. That was true before FF7, but not after. It had less of an impact on 20-30 range (though still noticeable, everyone still knew about the game thanks to the marketing), but it had a major impact on younger teens and kids.

But still I think Pokemon was the bigger influence. There's a pretty clear divide between people who grew up with Pokemon and people who didn't.
