are we really compaining about how often big pokemon games are released like it's something new?
1998 - R/B
1999 - Yellow
2000 - G/S and Stadium
2001- Crystal Stadium 2
2002 -
2003 - R/S
2004 - FR/LG and Colo
2005 - Emerald
2006 - Mystery dungeon R/B
2007 - D/P and PBR
2008 - Mystery dungeon Time/Darkness
2009 - Platinum
2010 - HG/SS
2011 - B/W
2012 - B2/W2
2013 - X/Y
2014 - ORAS
the only year there hasn't been a major game or successful spin-off/battle game was in 2002. We've had 12 straight years of constant releases so im not sure what people are talking about
Mystery dungeon doesn't count. 3rd titles are essentially the same game, so I wouldn't call them that exciting either. In terms of being a big deal it's geneally New Gen > Remake > Third Game > anything else.
Revised it's more like:
1998 - Red and Blue GEN 1
1999
2000 - Gold and Silver GEN 2 (2 years)
2001
2002
2003 - Ruby and Sapphire GEN 3 (3 years)
2004 - Firered Leaf Green
2005
2006
2007 DIamond and Pearl GEN 4 (4 years)
2008
2009
2010 Heart Gold Soul Silver
2011 Black and White GEN 5 (4 years)
2012 Black and White 2
2013 X and Y GEN 6 (2 years)
2014 R/S remakes I fogot their names.
And honestly you also have to take into account diminishing returns. After you've played a few some people aren't going to be as excited.
I don't really see how it matter whether I am excited about new games or not anyway. (I don't have much more to say about it, because I don't want to shove general chat too much into pokemon discussion)

Anyway did anyone else end up watching the SImpsons/Family Guy crossover?
