Are Nintendo the only company with good remakes?

So it always being an almost yearly franchise makes the whole thing better?

bolded: That is not a fact, it's nothing but an opinion, the games get bigger and more bloated with every installment with the developers trying to cram more and more stuff in there. You cannot factually say that the games are getting better with every installment because of that, for me for example the games have long become way too big to even try and start one again.

The reason Pokemon gets away with it is actually that it played a huge role in the generation that now mainly populates the internet, millions of people grew up with it and actually played it for the larger part of their life. The CoD craze only really started in 2007 on the other hand and people were basically already sick with it in 2010 or so.

And Pokemon is a cash-in, period. The freaking studio that makes these games consists of 73 people, think about that, the studio that almost yearly churns out one of the biggest franchises on earth is only 73 people strong. If they really cared that much then they could easily higher some coders to maybe get the Pokemon games up to snuff from a technical standpoint, but they don't have to because people don't mind as long as it's Pokemon.

I really don't get this.

The games getting better is his opinion, that's correct. However, not only his opinion, but the opinion of the majority who play it.

Look at the metacritic user scores, the reviews or whatever else you like to look at. The vast majority seems to like the games, so where exactly is the problem? Metascore and User Score for Pokemon X / Y are both at around 88. That's not even close to being bad.

Call of Duty on the other side gets terrible user scores (~2,0) since a few years. The games still sell well, but it's declining slowly.

Also, games getting too big is a reason not to get into a game anymore? That's a negative now? Are you actually serious?

The cash in part is correct, but people do like the games. They could be better from a technical standpoint, but why even bother if people like the games like they are? That would be money wasted for nothing. I don't need to tell you that they want to make as much money as they can. They are a company after all!

I played every single mainline pokemon game and my opinion is also that the games got better with every new release. Not only graphically, but also gameplaywise and storywise (X / Y being an exception on the story part).  I really don't mind them putting out a game a year. Ubisoft does the same with Assassins Creed and people seem to love the games! As long as the games are good, I really don't mind companies putting out new entries every year.
