We can all remember the first time Pokemon hit the world. Everyone went out to buy the latest cards and merchandice,but the reighn of Pokemon has withered.Even though fans of the creatures are still out there, most people find it boring and don't even want to talk about it.
When the fans first grabbed the game they found it exciting,like a brand new challenge.
Why are Nintendo falling into the same trap over and over again, everyone knows Pokemon has been left to rot. Could you imagine 350 of those things running about the screen?Terrifying,I think you'll agree.
What is the point of Nintendo bringing out these Pokemon games if no-one is bothered to play them.
We all know that Nintendo should be shifting their resources to better software for consoles like GBA and Gamecube.
Next time you're walking down the high street , staring at Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire thinking you want them.Think again and tell yourself NO ,it's just the same old game with a new name.

Listen Tosh, the Pokemon franchising fad has died.
Likewise, Mario isn't as he was 10 years ago. Neither is Sonic.
BUT, because their games are still great, they still have a following of gamesplayers. The Pokemon games are some of the best Gameboy RPG's around.
And ofcourse they should make 100 new monsters. It would be boring just having the old ones. Besides, if you don't feel up to the task, you don't HAVE to catch them all...

TOSH don't copy a whole post like that and just put one comment you idiot!

Pokemon was a fad, to an extent at least. At my school, on my school bus there were people a few years younger than me, girls who probably had never been interested in gaming getting big posters of all 150 pokemon and trying to learn all their names IN ORDER. Why? It was a fad. It became huge for a while with all the kids. Then passed, and is now 'uncool' to an extent because it is a fad from a few years ago and the cool kids see it as old hat. But who cares? I'm 16 and Pokemon is viewed as kiddie. If they release a Pokemon game on the Cube (I have no GBA) and it is a great game I'll probably try to get it, especially if (like the GB originals) it's an RPG. Because I love RPGs.
It may be getting old. But what has changed about so many games? Tony Hawks series? New moves, new levels. Pokemon series- new Pokemon, and new areas. So many sequels and series just add more features, and that's what the Pokemon games are doing. It's the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Nintendo may not be selling Pokemon in as huge numbers as they were, but they're still selling them.

GO HOME TOSH
Pokemon Blue/Red are in my favorite games ever list, but I dont think pokemon gold/Silver/Crystal are as good, there's something about it, and I dont think the ruby and Saphire ones will be as good as the first, I dont know why they're not as good, it may be something to do with the ammount of Pokemon, there's too manywith 250 on Gold and Silver so 350 will be way too many to think about.
