Pokémon lives through brand loyalty and half way decent games along with serious merchandising. People would end up complaining about the series being the exact same shit but with a few changes every release with the plot, characters etc.
However the game sales alone would make any company successful. Especially with micro transactions which Gamefreak is missing out.
