Despite the fact it it never fixed the problems the originals had: Kanto Pokemon running around in Johto, low-leveled wild Pokemon, lack of side-quests, and poor leveling grinding/EV training.

What makes some people think that Pokemon is going downhill

Since when is not finding the main points of the game interesting a bad reason for not liking a game?
Pff, good story, who's looking for a good story?
Not mind blowingly new things, just mind blowingly good things.
That gets me thinking, what type of game is Pokemon any how?
Do you think that's true for every person who dislikes the new games?
Skiks
MUCH RESPECT
It is bad since this is a discussion of how the games go downhill or rather why people think this. But the main points of the game have actually improved over time.
Plenty of games are played for gameplay alone and not for the story. Street Fighter, Mario, even the battle network games have sub par stories but people still play them. They're drawn by the actual gaming portion. So yes a good story=/=good game
I'd say the game has improved by miles as far as it's strong drawing points is concerned.
I always felt it was a game thats played best for it's good points. I never expected a great story out of pokemon or anything.
If people aren't interested in the main points of the game that means they weren't entertained and if they weren't entertained they aren't having fun. So if the main points of the old games peak your interests and the new games don't then that means it's going downhill.
Also, how many of the main points have really improved over time?
What I was trying to say was "how many people look for a good story out of Pokemon?".
Isn't that true for most every game?

gen 1: 90/100 because... i dunno, i didnt play the games but i did watch the anime and stuff when i was little
gen 2: 85/100 even though they were my first games, they didnt capture the feeling i had about gen 2 before i bought silver. but everything else about it was great
gen 3: 100/100 when i finally got emerald, it was awesome, tropical region and i like simply every single gen 3 pokemon. also a bit nostalgia and the fact that the day/night feature wasnt in it made it all so sunny. on top of that i loved the music.
gen 4: 85/100 didnt add much new after gen 3 and the routes felt a little empty, i also dislike cold climates. i couldve loved it if because they couldve done a lot more with the theme. It was cool though and the platinum storyline deserves a 98/100. I also like the anime and some pokemon are really awesome.
gen 5: 99/100 it seems like its gonna equal gen 3 in pokemon and region and gen 4 in storyline. but i didnt play the whole game yet so it doesnt get a perfect score untill i get the english version. can stay 99/100 because instead of finally doing something with the great concept of contests like the anime did, they replaced it by musicals which only requires you to dress up adn click like 2 times during the musical. Theyre still really fun though and when the rse remakes are released, itll get 200/100 for sure

No, but for many. So little people complain about 3rd or 4th gen Pokemon now that I believe its usually not given a good enough chance at the start. I'm sure some people have a better reason for disliking new games though.
