First generation pokemon games were good, the second they introduced the 151st pokemon was introduced, the series got sucked into pop culture and has never emerged since.

I have my doubts about the 3rd party AAA titles though, why would a developer spend heaps of money making a AAA title game when they could just make a crappy game and slap "splinter cell" "MGS" "Resident Evil" "Kingdom Hearts" on it instead, considering that of the three AAA titles on the Wii at the moment (Zelda, SMG, MP3) only 2/3 sold well.

EDIT: Monster Hunter is not a AAA title, it's a mediocre hack and slash, like how dynasty warriors get's around high 60's every year, doesn't make them good games, only reason Monster hunter remains in the 70's is because it's slightly less generic AND it doesn't come out every year. End o' story

OMG! Monster Hunter hack and slash!? I've seen everything in my life now... Seriously, the core of the game is exploration, preparation prior to a big battle, using dropped items to make new weapons and armor, the game is incredibly deep and addictive if you put more than 3 hours to it!
