You don't realize that Pokemon is the "gateway" game.
A game aimed at 10 year olds with 60-plus hours of single player game play.
A game whose value does not fall over time.
A game not dependent upon the whim of a corporation to keep servers open.
As for it coming out too often -- here are the JP and US dates (source -Wikipedia)
96, 98 - Red/Blue/Green
98, 99 - Yellow
99, 00 - Gold / Silver
00, 01 - Crystal
02, 03 - Ruby / Saphire
04, 04 - Fire Red / Leaf Green (remake)
04, 05 - Emerald
06, 07 - Diamond / Pearl
08, 09 - Platinum
09, 10 - Heart Gold / Soul Silver (remake)
10, 11 - Black / White
Not on this list are the spin-off Mystery Dungeon and Rangers series which make it at least a game a year.
OT: I am sure I will get Pokemon Gray when it comes out.
Right now, I am looking for Crystal and Emerald -- as well as FireRed and LeafGreen. I want them complete and at a reasonable price. Of course, with Pokemon games, reasonable price is next to impossible.

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
