The problem with Pokémon isn't a dearth of new ideas (the fairy type is a great addition, as well as EXP share and several newer improvements).

The problem is there are more and better animations in Pokémon coliseum (an N64 game) than the latest release. When every move amounts to - Move Pokémon towards opponent - A few sparkles there's just no reason to care about any individual Pokémon (or even type) anymore.
