Yes, but I was somewhat falling out of love with the franchise again.
Initially I lost interest after Generation III, then I got back into it with the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver. Having not played them for a while, and with the release of Go, i'm now right back into the swing of things.
The situation is pretty much the same for me - I was losing interest in Pokémon quite severely to the point where I hadn't picked up a game in many months but now I'm straight back into it all because of GO. I've started up with competitive battling again and obviously discussing Pokémon on forums and it's pretty much all because of GO rekindling that interest. Feels like it's back stronger than ever this time haha.
