I get that, but don't you think the series could have evolved? Seeing how GTA went from strength to strength and ended up selling 100m+ copies, I really thought that Pokemon was capable of making that kind of jump. It is a series that can sell 40m+, and at twice the price of previous iterations. I think that would've complimented Pokemon Go and even pushed it further. But hey a man can dream 

Pokemon is barely a game franchise and more a media and merchan franchise. They aren't competing with GTA, but with Star Wars and Marvel Comics  

Many still don't understand this.
