But isn't a game like pokemon essentially identical between itterations besides a minor story rewrite?

They have improved the gameplay incrementally and expanded the roster. That's essentially it aside from tech advances like graphics and internet play.

I've bought them up until now, but I won't buy the next one unless it's a rethink of the game. Although, I said that before Diamond/Pearl...

I played Blue/Red and they I played Yellow and it was essentially the same game! I was wondering if the later ones actually have any differences?

 

Yellow was more or less a special edition of Red/Blue to put focus on Pikachu and characters for the cartoon.

Typically Pokemon games come in a pair with each new handheld with a third speical version released after the first two.

Red/Blue/Green/Yellow are all essentially the same game, with a few different pokemon and Yellow with special features. Gold/Silver/Crystal were a different game, in a different location, with new Pokemon, types, moves, rules, etc.
