There where two people who said Pokemon is expanding. It's not. My point was to look at the situation that the two games are releasing in. R/S did poorly compared to the earlier two. D/P only did slightly better despite that more people have access to Pokemon. There are a lot of people, a lot of different people, who own a DS. Not many of the new people bought D/P. Pokemon may be in decline, but it was helped by the amazing sales of the DS. Pokemon 5 may very well be a Pokemon bomb (still doing well, but is much weaker in terms of influence).
@Maneco: You really missed the point on my first point. Not how it says "And only these." What I mean is that Pokemon needs to eliminate the 493 and focus on new ones. Also, your comment on 500 pokemon being bad is dumb given the fact that we are 7 pokemon away from 500. Really, what makes 500 so much more worse then 493?
Also, many people have said "Advance the story." NO. The reason for killing the Team _____ is because they are making the game more story driven. Pokemon was never story driven. The Teams have been adding more of a plot to Pokemon, making you almost a hero rather then a trainer who want's to beat the Pokemon League. Story will not make Pokemon grow, it will only continue the decline.
