Challenges are boring

In addition, I have felt no desire to play a Pokemon game from the start twice. Games like Okami and Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess made me play several times over (I've probably completed Okami around 5 times).

I feel like that with most games, frankly

Minecraft has a lot of replay value, too.

The only reason I like Minecraft is someone made the StarShip Enterprise

Truth be told, Pokemon is a big market game that will, and never otherwise, get lots of positive reviews for all the major games. Even mediocre games like Mystery Dungeon get fairly high ratings, even though they don't really deserve it IMO. Same applies for the new Zelda game, which is solid but is nowhere near the quality of previous games, yet it still gets >90% reviews.

Pokemon gets boring after you defeat the E4. It has no replay value

Unless you make different challenges for yourself. Like use of a level 100 Magikarp. But it is rather easy when you have six level 100s that know Hyper Beam.

Which in itself is a very long and arduous task with no actual entertainment beyond getting it to the final goal, which I found tiring rather than fun.

In any case, I feel my argument, subjective and opinionated as it is, is this:
1. Pokemon lacks the originality to keep me buying the games, which I have to do if I want to enjoy the system because...
2. It has poor, lackluster quality replay value which really prevents me from actually playing it more than once.
3. The repetitive leveling system is frankly extreme tiring and prevents the game from being re-playable if you want to level up. Unless you cheat with an action replay, I guess.
4. Save for the new game, the plot in each game really hasn't varied much at all.
5. Quality really hasn't advanced, and like several big series it has become one of the flagship good games, meaning it will get hype despite how stagnant the formula is.
6. The more original games (Colosseum, XD: Gale Of Darkness) suffer from dull capture systems which, while okay, didn't add anything to the game.

I still like some of the games but I have absolutely no desire to buy another.

What about the Halo games? All the games are following a storyline, and the replay values are good...

The original and Halo 3 were good IMO. Nothing outstanding but both decent games.

[Incredirobotwars]

Then they just bbacktracked in Halo Reach. Reach wasn't a bad game, overall, though.
