Yeah it makes me sad to think about that - people are going to keep buying the games regardless of how bad they get.

Every Pokémon is someone's first. I bet about up to half of each iterations sales are completely new customers. And then another big chunk being a group where it's their second or third.

Plus, it's far from my "second or third" and I still enjoy them. Pokemon games are what they are, and I like them.

I'm not saying they couldn't be improved, but I don't pass on a game just because it doesn't max out its potential. I buy fun games, and no game is perfect.
