Pokemon was an instant hit after Red and Green came out. They sold the most because Pokemon was a brand new concept and it connected very well with a younger audience. The mass popularity can't last forever. Yes, some of the most popular Pokemon are from generation 1, but so are Pokemon from generations 2, 3, and 4. Celebi, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Skarmory, Kingdra, the dogs, Blissey, Milotic, Salamence, Metagross, Latios and Latias, the other Hoenn legendaries, the list goes on.
Pokemon is a game designed primarily for children. Period. Of coure a lot of the fanbase is going to leave, because they've GROWN UP! RSE, I believe, were the best selling GBA games, and I think DPPt were also one of the top DS games. Pokemon is the second biggest franchise...it's fine.
