Is Pokemon....dying out?

Hey, just 'cause you don't get anything out of it doesn't mean the rest of the world follows suit.
 
I doubt Pokemon is losing its entertainment value. It still has tons of merchandise behind it, gamers still flock to its games, movies are still being released and such. It may not still be at peak value in this day and age, but it is certainly far from fading away. Perhaps it is losing its entertainment and appeal to you (topic starter) and to others of growing age, but it still has large presence nation and worldwide.
 
even if franchises suck, the real dead of a franchise is when they stop selling and getting games. i personally didn't like the newer pokemon games, maybe i just grew up and they still target kids or maybe i just got tired of pokemon but heck pokemon is the 3rd best selling franchise ever (i think) so i don't think is dying out or something like that
 
To assume that pokemon is for kids is to assume that the games are as easy as pie. The Mystery Dungeon and other recent titles (apart from Dash) are certainly not kid friendly. They are quite difficult...
 
No, they aren't. Pokemon is a kid friendly game. Hell, any game where you can level up is automatically easy, as there comes a point where you can just slaughter everything.
 
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Just because you can level up doesnt make you invincible, that is a blatant disrespect to pokemon. It takes diligence and perseverance to become good at the game in skill. Kids can not possible become pros and masters.
 
Uh, no it doesn't. If you want to beat an RPG, you just have to level up. That's it. Is the game too hard for you at one point? Level up, problem solved.
 
I think it is more along the lines of, if the game gets too hard, take a break and devise a new strategy. Leveling up doesnt add any benefit at all in RPGs. It all resides in Strategy.

Mmmm...sorry..but that's just wrong. Plus, where's the strategy in Pokemon? Fire hurts grass. Grass hurts water. Water hurts fire. Ta-da!

Alright then. Upload a video of you beating Final Fantasy III(DS) by only fighting battles you have to, which means bosses and forced encounters. You won't have any good items, you won't have money to buy anything, you won't have any remotely good stats, but it's ok, you'll have strategy.
 
No with strategy you can easily win against Water using Fire, everyone does it all the time when they started blue/red version and took on Misty with their Charmander/Charmeleon, simply put it was strategic use of moves and not leveling up.

Type advantages are just that. Advantages, not victories.

If I had a sig, I'd put that in it, so everyone could laugh at it.
 
Ive beaten plenty of RPGS at levels lower than what everyone else had because I had a strategy that was fail proof, Use status abilities at all time, have a power attacker, et cetera et cetera. If one cant think it is able to be done, then woe be unto that person.

Upload a video and prove it. I want you to beat Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts at level 20.

you haven't played many RPGs have you? (by that i mean square-enix/namco) (heck remember FF3/and FFXII)

but yeah what starrynite says is somewhat true, is possible to beat some RPGs with low levels if you use correct strategies (go to gamefaqs and check)

Well yeah, you could beat that one boss on FFX (the undead sea serpent) with Tidus at lvl 1 if you wanted to, just by throwing a Phoenix Down at it.
