Omega, the same can be said of other games, Madden most commonly. We're not really here to debate the wisdom of crowds, per se, we're here to debate their actions. Madden sells a ton every year, and so far this new Pokemon has sold a lot as well. And I see it continuing to do so for a good while; even if the original Pokemon fans have grown out of it (many of us are high school or college-aged by now), there's still new fleets of fans who may have not played the earlier ones, and thus haven't gotten bored with "the same game again".
