Pokemon games are just remakes and cash ins

Wow somebodies raging. honestly you could say the same thing about pretty much 90% of games if you used that small a connection.

Are Megaman 3-10 suddenly all remakes?

You make a good point, but there's a big BUT: most of these games that lack innovation don't sell 10-20 million copies. Pokémon does, every generation, while the basic games don't change much, at all. That's why quite a few people feel the need to call the games out on it. And to be honest, I agree with them.

The fact that it sells 10 million is exactly why it SHOULDN'T be bashed for it's lack of innovation. Innovation is meant to keep things new and interesting. The fact that the series keeps selling means it doesn't need to innovate... because people clearly are happy with the product as it is. If a yearly car keeps getting amazing sales, they should change it up just because? That's exactly what the Pokemon sideproducts are for... so they can test changes and see how people adjust to them. Truth is the main product is still what people want. No reason to change it up in the main franchise till that's not the case. Change for changes sake is never good.
