Well no, Pokemon is actually designed to be appealing for a variety of reasons, it created a big tent that allowed it to be such a cultural phenomenon. I bought Pokemon Pearl for that reason as you said, but I also bought it for the challenge of collecting everything etc.
The next one will have to be a serious rethink for me though. Go back to the basic principles: collecting, trading, training and battling, and work from there. It doesn't need to follow the same formula as long as they keep the principles that made pokemon good.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
