Pokemon, who else but the Madonna of Video games

Well yeah! I would hope that is the case since they all have Megas!
Though they are my second fave batch, so it's whatever.

I haven't bought a game since White and Black came out. There's just no need for me to spend my money on repetitive crap unless it's P!nk. Plus with all the Smogon stuff and rules it took the fun out of me finally being able to play against others.

I was pretty saturated until Gen 3. Only owned Sapphire. But I did own all the console games at one point.

It's really not declining if you look at the positions of the games by console - this generation has the #1 and #3 selling titles on the 3DS already.

Buy one of the new ones. B/W and Gen V in general are generally regarded as the worst for veteran fans of the series, and ORAS are personally my favorites in the whole series next to HGSS. X and Y were brilliant ways to take a fresh look at the series without needlessly trying to be a "reboot" like Black and White.

I don't think the series is ****. I just think Gamefreak has gotten too comfortable with their basic formula. They need to start putting an effort into the series again.
