Every new generation of Pokemon game outsells the last and does it so easily.People actually believe the Pokemon series dead. Quite entertaining since they merely forgot about it since they got older and lost interest in the series, like I did, but I knew the series was still going strong with each new release on GB, GBA and DS.
I'm still under the assumption though that popularity in merchandise hasn't died in Japan since the anime series seem to be going strong with releases of Pokemon movies. I've honestly lost track of the series after Orange Island and went into Silver & Gold part of the series which I believe was called Juto, though not exactly sure. In U.S. though, the popularity seem to have dwindled.
