Forever, the others have to work for every cent they get. Pokémon is the only one whose fans have no standards.

forever i hate all the switch games but i still bought them all and the dlc just for dex and ribbon purposes

Damn, there isn't even much to choose from.

probably another 30 years sadly, but by then the kids who grew up with the switch games will not buy their kids the contemporary games because they remember how bad they are and gf'll have to hustle to actually make a good game if they want more money.

Crazy that Mario is the only franchise there that both originated as a video game and makes the majority of its money from video games.

actually hypothetically speaking it could be longer if they keep popular kanto mons and lucario in the main spotlight forever for toys but we'll have to see.

You are aware, the kids playing pokémon today are not you. are not as old as you nor do they share your opinion on the kiddy series, because they're currently the target market for it thus pandered to by the brand, yeah?

Otherwise, it's still the entry-level kiddy RPG it's always been and if your generation ate up RS, then of course it's still selling today.
Kids have only gotten thicker over the years and if you've proven you couldn't twig that back then, how do you expect me to believe the current crop suddenly grew a brain?

Sadly, probably forever.
Unless some massive fuck-up that goes beyond 10 Star Wars combined happens someday.
