I don't mind the big number of Pokemon, it's pretty much impossible to keep the same number without stopping the franchise (if they had stopped at Gen 2 people would spam for a sequel so no use trying to stop it). I agree with Koopaul though, if they made more places and trainers have a wider range of Pokemon you'd have some really interesting combinations.
I also agree with Dazz on the point that it's a bit too much nowadays. I don't mind optional stuff like beauty contests, since it kind of lets you do other stuff with your Pokemon that just battle. But yeah, the storyline is getting a bit crazy. That's not to say I want it to be the same thing over and over, but Team Rocket should be the only company (maybe one extra like Team Jet or something, but not this many), and there should be only one rival (nameable, too, like in the first few games). They don't even have to be the game's professor's (grand)son/daughter, they can be like your brother/sister or something, but ONLY ONE.
As for calling your mum, I personally think that's stupid and unnecessary. I think I remember her calling me when I went on Route 7 in Black, it had absolutely NO FUNCTION WHATSOEVER. She basically asked how I was and I said I was fine, and that was it. Waste of time and, in my opinion, making the mother too much of a character (it's like it's trying to make you think it's your actual mother or something).
Huge stuff like two rivals with constant names and a billion evil corporations should stay in the anime, the games shouldn't change the story that much. I don't think anybody cares if the game's storyline doesn't fit with the anime.
