Don't get me wrong, it was good at one point, but doesn't everyone think that Pokemon sucks now? The franchise is wearing a bit thin; the games are repetitive, the cartoon is childish and too be honest the amount of actual Pokemon has just gotten out of hand - how can you catch 'em all?
EDIT: Hi newcomers! This thread was originally set up as a joke, as loads of people had applied Pikachu avatars and then posted about how they hated Pokemon. Although some of the avatars still remain, most of them have gone, so the joke doesn't really work as well.

Pokémon
The Pokémon franchise has spawned numerous titles and spin-offs, spanning several generations of games and has an animated series that spans many seasons.
Boring!
I never liked the series after the first 151, but I still love everything associated to those originals.

The games (as in the proper games, the Gameboy/DS main games) are still pretty fun, but the series is wearing a bit thin and the only idea's they have to improve it is to add more pokémon, and the new pokémon are just getting too unpokémonee. Personally I'd have been happy if they'd just stuck with the original 151 pokemon and spent their time improving the gameplay elements of the games, rather then designing new weird pokemon.
I'd like to see the next DS pokemon game to be a remake of red/blue with animal crossing style graphics, and a few new gameplay elements.
