Yeah but Pokemon's where all the big bucks are at. In the grand scheme of things, I would say Pokemon is Nintendo's top selling property behind Mario. But what you seem to not get is that Gamefreak isn't behind every Pokemon game released, only the major releases. They release three every few years or so and then rest for a bit. It's not like Gamefreak's constantly putting a new Pokemon adventure out there. Everyone else is.
And I wouldn't say they're getting lazy at all. Maybe Platinum is just Diamond and Pearl with a coat of paint and some extras, but so was Yellow, Crystal and Emerald. It's the way it's always been so why you're complaining about it now is beyond me. Nobody's forcing you to buy it. It's just what they do.
Gamefreak should develop new games, I agree, they have the capibilities. Drill Dozer is an amazing game. But there's a good reason they stick with Pokemon for the most part. It sells far better than any other product they put out there. Drill Dozer was pretty much a flop, unfortunately. So if releasing three new Pokemon games every few years is lazy then well, I guess Nintendo's also lazy for releasing a new Mario game every couple months then too, eh?
