There is no slowing down this Pokemachine.
It is kind of crazy that the games continue to sell as well as they do after all of these years. I guess there is always new kids like my son that want the games as soon as they come out. Plus, the older kids and adults that played the old games want to see the new Pokemon and what the new games have to offer.
