They can afford to take risks, maybe they just don't want to put any more effort in? This actually fits with Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed's sales models. Pokemon is a biannual release while CoD & AC are annual, however none of them shake up the formula at all. They all have the same weapons, combat styles, and exact same formula every time. They're so popular I just wish they would do something with that power other than stagnating.

That's not true at all. Call of duty has different weapons each game. Not to mention they dlc out new weapons like every month and new maps and new side game instalments ( extinction for ghosts, zombies for bo2 ). They also change aspects for the combat style, small adjustments like for example changing the dive mechanic to a knee slide (bo2 = dive, ghosts = slide : they are made by two different companies but they both stay close to the original blueprint ), will give the player a small refresh but keeping the core mechanics unchanged. As far as formula, man if you play Cod and spend more time on the story than multiplayer you are doing it wrong, you have to play competitively to fully appreciate the game, I was 5th prestige on ps3 for ghosts and switched to xbox one, now im 1st prestige on my Microsoft account for ghosts, leading a lvl 17 clan with a positive kdr.... still not the slightest bit tired, bc they keep giving new content to the players. As far as assassin creed I don't know, its too slow and I cant play it. but Cod gets more hate than it deserves, at least they give you something to do throughout the wait til they release the next instalment. People say well they just want that money, and they seem to forget about the money it takes to make a 14 dollar map pack. ( paying employees who spend hours upon hours trying to do something graphically toppling what they just spent a year trying to cram and produce )
To me you cant beat it, and as far as pokemon is concerned they need to get their thumbs out of their butts and start with the dlc. I will pay 15 bucks for a few extra routes and some new clothes. word. I just paid 15 bucks for 5 maps and two guns for my cod account... would have gave em 30 bucks to be honest because its like adding a whole new game in.
How is that being stagnate?
If any thing I would be rotting away into nothing if I had to depend on pkmn to give us something, 5 months out and all we got was a torchic ( that everyone has now ) and a celebi that we couldn't even soft reset the nature for... at first I did not like the idea of them using the 3ds I thought it would mean a graphic change and they would leave the old formula behind and just draw inspiration from it. I warmed up to the idea of the 3ds and loved the idea of them being able to really expand for their players, to really give us some dlc and give the faithful buyers of their games something special... 5 months, son I am disappoint
