If the fad is dying, does this mean the accessory will be easier to get hold of when it comes out? I hope so.
I'm not that surprised. After about a week you won't encounter any new pokemon except once in a while. It also gets harder to catch them, even shitmons, because the CP goes up.

Basically, there's only two things that matter. One is trainer level. The only other thing is the Pokedex itself, and how many you've caught. Once you run out of new mons in your area and you hit the lvl20 grind, your progression slows to a halt, almost like an MMO endgame.
