pokemon, zelda and mario. yes many are different types of games or remakes but it's no different to the halo series having an RTS game or the MCC. 

Halo had one RTS, the rest are fps lol. It's clearly a different situation than Mario. Is Donkey Kong a Mario game now? Or Warioware?

Zelda and Mario aren't annualized either. You can't compare the different Mario franchises with each other like that.

Even with Pokémon there's usually a long wait before a new gen. And like I said, Game Freak is not Nintendo.

they are all in the mario universe. they milk it very well and that's not exactly a bad thing. they are smart enough to mix it up. 

pokemon is still publised and owned by them. 

and i'm not saying anualized. I'm saying lots of them get many per gen.
