I think because of all the advertising being done. By advertising i mean all the shows and series.However for enjoyment I think it's because in a series of competition and training to get better and better.

Pokemon games are cool because they are Filled with cool looking monsters and it is turn based so you can play it no matter how intoxicated you are because nothing happens too fast.

pokemon is NOT like zelda. not one bit. i cant even think of a simmalarity.and i think people get them because they want to know what that one is like, find out why its better or worse.

1) like already mentioned - advertising2) original game, cant be classified easily (its not a pure RPG)3) easy interface, long playability, some advanced game features which dont complicate gameplay4) friendly rules, no frustrating moments (if u have some problems theyre still easy to solve :) like if u chose charmander and cant beat gym w/ water pokemons - you go back, catch other pokemon [eg. famous pikachu] and lvl it up)And who doesn't know famous "gotta catch 'em all"?

I like them because you can walk, surf, fly, etc. and also battle people easily later on. And Ranger stinks because winning battles is mostly luck, with a little bit of skill if you use Poke Assists. Mystery Dungeon was okay, except there was only one town.also, I completely beat FireRed, there is nothing else to do besides leveling up Pokemon. I completed my National Dex in about 325 hours. (I DID NOT CHEAT, I MEAN IT) After doing that, I went and talked to professor Oak. He just thanked me... a lot. And didn't give me squat. All that work, and no reward other than Oak thanking me and getting some stupid message saying "Given to the player for completing their National Pokedex." Oh, and I got all of them, including Celebi, Mew, Jirachi, etc. I didn't cheat, I just know some people who do. And I know how to clone in Emerald.

i suppose it so big cos of the amount of things you can do in it. you could, theoretically keep playing it forever. id get a bit boring but hey. plus its got so many pokemon in it and it needs to have all the needed info in the game. and then they keep adding stuff into it so its obviously gonna get bigger. XD
