Because pokemon is for the kids and stuff!!!....*hides in the corner, playing his copy of Pokemon Platinum in shame*
Nah, seriously, pokemon is cool xD It launched the "capture and train an X amount of monsters" genre that many games have tried to emulate without the success of pokemon, like Azure Dreams, Digimon, Dokapon, Monster Trainer Advance and some other games.
The only game to actually gaining some recognition in the same genre has been the Monster Hunter series, but even then, Pokemon is still King of The Hill.
