Nintendo is still against annual franchises

Pokemon is annual... but I guess it technically isn't completely under Nintendo

We get a BRAND NEW Pokemon (main series) game every 2 or so years. Most of the games we get in the main series are either remakes or Version 3 of the same game (neither of which take nearly as much time or resources to make). If your just following brand new main games, though, it is by far NOT an annual series.
