Yeah, but Pokemon games are getting to be way more frequent than they used to be.
Come on, let some lesser known Nintendo games come back for something new!

Yeah the story was good in 5 but that's all I liked about it.

It is weird seeing a new Pokemon game every year. It's almost . . . maddening. *rimshot*

Is honestly confused by life.
Gen 5 didn't have Mega Amphabio (aka Mega Amphabulous) therefore clearly this post is correct

See? It's becoming almost as redundant as EA Sports titles. (Good joke, though)

On top of the joke he was sarcastic :I
No it's not. Please go play Gen 5 then Gen 6 again and tell me it's redundant.
Or, like I said before, bring back the lesser-known Pokemon games, like the Pinball games or Pokemon Puzzle Challenge.
People played those?
I like the shiny form, looks more like a rabbit and less like a gross drunk fatman.
Eh... what's up, doc?
Well, yes, people did play those. Nintendo advertised these back in the days when Pokemon was hugely popular so the pinball game sold more copies than if it was just pinball, without the Pokemon veneer, and Pokemon Puzzle League/Challenge was the successor to Tetris Attack. There is nothing stopping Game Freak from re-releasing these games now and with the capabilities of 3DS WiFi, puzzle gamers and pinball wizards can have their shot at fame in the GL standings, just like battlers.
We need this back.
And this one too.
I gotta like the shiny form, myself. I liked Shinies so much I spent the money to get a Gameshark (remember those) just to spam as many Shinies as I could.

But that was during the time people where everyone was absolutely obsessed with pokemon.
How well would it sell now that the obsession has greatly died down?
I think it would still sell very well, even if Pokemon doesn't sell the way it once did, overall. Pokemon sidestories that aren't the handheld adventures, now MMORPGs (they most certainly are) we know of today would still sell with the Pokemon logo slapped on them. And yes, Nintendo would design pinball courses and puzzle games with an eye to quality with or without the little electric rat in them.

So, I searched on the GTS for a level 30 Ditto to see if I could get any friend safari ones with Impostor. I browsed through 300 trades offers, and, I kid you not, every single one wanted a legendary in exchange. When will these children understand that I'm not gonna trade my Xerneas for a Ditto?
Still, I can be thankful that they can no longer request them to be Level 9 and under.

Legendaries are cool n'all, but Ditto can be anything you want
anything
Your Xerneas can't compare.

When I saw that thing, I thought 'Just a minute, these are the Japanese release dates!'
And let's be honest- if it used to take at least an extra 6 months or so to release it everywhere else, then they won't focus entirely on the next project until they get the localisation of the others out the way.
So in theory, with the newfound efficiency of global release dates, we might be able to see a new game coming out more often without gaps. In theory.
I doubt it.
I do think that those release dates aren't too much too soon but Game Freak won't make us wait forever for a new game, either. Even if a new one was released each year, the standards would be so high that we know they'd do their homework and get it done right. Besides, no one is going to rush them, Game Freak will release it in whenever they feel its ready. In the meantime, Game Freak will re-release old games with new gimmicks and director's cuts to hold us over until the new handheld epic set in a new region begins. I used to be upset that we never had a console version of Pokemon but I'm beginning to see why that never happened. Pokemon is a game that's so addictive, you would want to play it basically everywhere, and even when you get home and are surrounded by much more powerful machines, you still can't pull yourself away from a video game played on a handheld the size of a small book.

That probably applies to legendaries only - there are a few trades on the server requesting common Pokemon that can't be obtained below Lv.10....
Eggs hatch at level 1. :I

So here's the US timeline:
1998 - Red/Blue
1999 - Yellow
---
2000 - Gold/Silver
2001 - Crystal
---
2003 - Ruby/Sapphire
2004 - FireRed/LeafGreen
2005 - Emerald
---
2007 - Diamond/Pearl
2009 - Platinum
2010 - HeartGold/SoulSilver
---
2011 - Black/White
2012 - Black/White 2
---
2013 - X/Y
So the US has seen a new Pokemon game released every year except 2002, '06, and '08, including the last five consecutive years.
I mean more specifically Pokemon that evolved via level-up. Chesnaught, etc.
