Pokemon franchise far from over; 1 million copies of new game sold in five days
A lot of people seem to think that Pokemon was just a fad, as was Brittney Spear's music. However, judging by the sales figures of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, it is obvious that Pokemon is far from dead. One million copies of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl have been sold in little less than five days. This is apparently a "faster rate than any previous Pokemon games since the franchise's U.S. introduction". These sales are partially in thanks to the gigantic sales of the Nintendo DS.

Ok, I seriously hate pokemon and those who like it. ALL POKEMON SHOULD DIE!!!
Pokemon :p lmao
Everyone is either a trainer, breeder, etc trying to catch pokemon and going to gyms competing for badges, medals, ribbons, etc. Then go to cities and small towns to find people to forum a clan and compete against each other because you don't like them, etc. And, whatever else they do in Pokemon land. You would either be a good trainer/breeder or a evil trainer/breeder (Team Rocket of sorts). I beat you could get people to pay a $5 monthly fee for that MMO online! But I would give them the first 6 months free to allow them time to level up their pokemon. Then make them pay for it from then on!
A 3d version can be awesome :)
