Many people play the old pokemon games countless times and will continue to do so, I mean there are so many youtubers doing current let's plays of older gen Pokemon games spaning over 20 years old right now. There aren't many if any games series you can say that about on that scale. The Pokemon games are games which the graphics might get outdated, but never the gameplay. Even today if you want to complete your pokedex, your going to probably have to go trade them over from an older game. I mean just look at the the success of the re-releases of the 20 year old gen 1 games on the e-shop. They broke e-shop records and sold over 1.5 million in they're first 2 months. |
Sure the first 2 generations aged very well and will probably remain popular. But after that? I don't think many people will care about X&Y in 10 years nor ORAS. Sun and Moon might fare better, haven't tried it yet, so don't know if the new additions are enough to make the game timeless.

all the online multiplayer games... they will all be worthless 10years from now. Single player and story based games age best. |
I couldn't agree more! It was painful for me to see Overwatch winning so many game of the year awards. In 10 years time, people can't play it anymore, or there are so few to play with, that it's worthless.
