Why are there so many pokemon?

I got up to Ruby and Sapphire, and I just couldn't keep up anymore. Now I don't even know how many pokemon there are.

I have a Copy of Pokemon Black which is untouched, and I haven't played the Kanto side of Heart Gold because of boredom.

tl;dr Why is pokemon still a thing?

Still, it feels impossible to try and catch up.

Most people don't care about that.

Pokemon is fun, so they continue to buy it. That's all that matters to them.

It's the most profitable video game series that isn't Mario.

You would have to be crazy not to keep making them.

Pretty much. Pokemon is an amazing idea for a game with a virtually unlimited amount of ways to play because there are so many combinations of Pokemon you can use. Each installment keeps this general formula while making small improvements each time to make gamplay a little better.

OP it just sounds like Pokemon isn't your thing. Enjoy what you want, but the way I see it, adding more Pokemon and generations is a good thing, it just increases the amount of ways that you can play the game.

It's probably because people enjoy it and it makes Nintendo/Gamefreak money.

That's about it.

In the TCG, having many different pokemon is actually a good thing because you'll have more diversity in the booster packs which makes it feel more worth it from a collection standpoint.

In gen 1 you always ended up with A LOT of pokemon cards nobody ever needed because everyone had shitloads of them.. it was awful..
You still have many common cards, but it's much less of a problem than how it was before.

More pokemon = better tcg ^_^

Are you playing all of the games right now, or do you mean you played Ruby and Sapphire when they came out and then gave up? I think anyone who tries to catch up on a series will feel overwhelmed if they are trying to get through all of the games at once and then get bored of them. At the time that the games come out, the amount of new Pokemon are always manageable and easy to learn as you go through the game.

If you are bored, then maybe you are just not interested in Pokemon anymore? It's okay not to like it, as there are games I used to play but don't anymore. Pokemon is still very popular with older players and young players who's first game might have been Gen 5. It is probably going to still be a thing for a little while yet.

Same reason Sonic, Mario, Final Fantasy, Call of Duty and Halo are "still a thing".
