A little bit of nostalgia, a little bit of serotonin to keep the ennui at bay and challenges. I also do enjoy the communities around Pokémon even if not necessarily some of the games.

i just like raising new teams and seeing what cool new critters there will be. in my lowest points in life, something that seriously kept me going was knowing i would miss out on new pokemon. so it seems little in the large scheme of things, but it's big to me.

-The possibility of building a new team and playing with new Pokémon in every playthough (or re-discovering older ones that were improved thanks to new moves, abilities, etc.)
-Self-imposed rules and challenges to make playthroughs more intense and challenging.
-Certain rom hacks / fan games that improve the experience in different ways.

Hard to say. I just really enjoy playing Pokemon and that is the only part of Pokemon I partake in anymore. Even though I'm not happy with the newest games I still have the older games which I replay from time to time.
Pretty much sums it up for me.
And I can relate to Sandman's 'Pokémon cycle" too. At times I'm out of touch with the series, the other moment I'm making a team.

I have no reason to just...abandon Pokemon, you know? It means a lot to me, and I want to stay with the franchise until it stops pumping out games, or I'm no longer alive. Whichever comes first?

Well I couldn't have said it better myself. My childhood was filled with Pokémon. I met my irl best bud due to pokémon and much more. So can't just abandon it.

Well when a new game comes out, I get it and play it. Plus I have more than one console, so I can fight against myself and help my main profile to collect all the pokemon. But with pokemon sword n shield which imo is the worst pokemon game, and that game is very hard for me to stay interests in it. The game is just not exciting as all the other games and more reasons that I won't explain since that will be off-topic. But yeah I really don't know why or how I'm still into playing the games, but when I finished them I don't continue on that profile.

Nothing other than the notion that Pokemon is something I've liked for most of my life, and it will stay that way. I really like seeing new content and games release for it, even if I sometimes don't watch or play them, I enjoy that it's still going on. It's always neat to explore new regions!
