Sometimes I wonder why I'm still into Pokemon. I'm not into the competitive scene, I don't have any friends who enjoy the series anymore, I don't think the last few games gave been very good, and yet I still get helplessly excited every time a new gen starts. I think I'm attracted to the series on some conceptual level, in addition to being saddled with unshakable nostalgia from spending countless intimate hours with my gameboy and Pokemon friends in my youth. Sometimes I wish I could be a super devotee of the series, to escape the cycle of supreme hype then hollow confusion when each new game fails to live up to my amorphous love of the series.
