Honestly I don't want the fad to ever get as big as it was. The series as a whole (kind of including the anime) is doing fine and improving. When you add a lot of new people to an exsisting thing it changes what that thing ahs grown to be. The same can be said for Pokemon, if there were a massive influx of people to the franchise (instead of the steady gain) it would change the direction of the franchise as a whole.
