>>51736027I think public interest in pokemon ebbs and flows. Gen 5, like Gen 3, was a natural low point for people. I remember both instances. First when RBY/GSC came out, and the fatigue in hype for Gen 3, as well as the same thing happening with Gen 5.
So, regardless of what features Gen 5 had, it was going to be a 'low' gen. Gen 6, for as much as it was an eventual disappointment had so much hype built around it. Even after it came out, like 70% of the people on my college campus walked around with their 3DS' in sleep mode. Everyone was playing the games. People were loving it.
Until they got to the end and that 'new game high' wore off, and we were all like, "that's it?"
