The Pokemon craze has been great for ninendo to make money but in my opinion lots of it has been crap.
The good stuff:
The gameboy games - The single decent thing that has come out of Pokemon and it was around before it became really popular.
The bad stuff:
The nintendo games - Pokemon stadium has been a complete wast of money for any Pokefreak that bought it. The fact that a Pokemon cannot move at all and they look bad. The mini-games weren't to bad. Pokemon snap was just to ridiculous. A whole game of photographing Pokemon is more than I can stand.
The TV show - The TV show which is based completly on the game with the addition of Jesse, James and Meowth - the terrible threesome represnting Team Rocket. Every episode consists of Ash, Misty and Brock/Tracyarriving somewhere new. They have to do something and then it turns in to a big fiasco involving team rocket. They defeat team rocket who are "blasting off away" and the day is saved.
The cards - It started with 1 set - basic cards. Next came jungle and fossil, and then series 2, and then team rocket cards, and then trainer owned cards, and then neos, and then neo 2s and then neo 3s and tropical island cards and movie promos. By this time, I thought "God, kill me now".
In Conclusion - Pokemon sucked except the original Gameboy games.

I actually didnt mind the gameboy games, shame about everything else though! An N64 game more along the lines of Rares, Kameo:Elements of Power would of been better!
