I find it amazing how we can say Pokemon is a joke. Don't even lie if you had even a bit of a childhood you played pokemon. It doesn't matter that it isn't the 30 million selling game it was in 1996-1998. It still sells tons of games regardless. If Nintendo gets big bucks from that I'm happy. CoD and GTA have to be popular for a reason but sometimes I wonder how far the series can go. Its like seeing Patrick fall off a box in that Spongebob episode(yes I still watch that hilarious show) in which they say, isn't this getting boring or haven't I already played this? I don't get why gamers don't realize this. Same game, new graphics.
The same can be said with Pokemon and Mario but it is obviously different. We can tell that in most cases (excluding the New Super Mario Bros. lineup) they try to do something different. I can honestly say that CoD has a following and it may continue after I die but its days are numbered too.
