Pokemon has been on a steady pace when it comes to popularity. Their games have been getting better however, despite their tendency to repeat.
Battle Revolution was alright in my opinion. There was so much more they could have done however. For instance, since I think they were just trying to make a battling game, they could have based it more so around Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. It would still be mainly battling, but at least you'd have more laces to go to as well as fun little mini games.
Pokemon Colloseum and XD were very original concepts, but I don't think they'll continue them. I mean... how much further could you go beyond XD? Unless they went even further into the future and did something with Mewtwo. I dunno. I guess they could but wouldn't that then become repetitious as well?
Either way, I like all the Pokemon games, including PBR. You have to admit, PBR deserves more credit then you all give it. They fixed all the veteran 3-D Pokemon by smoothing them out, shading them better, and animating them a heck of a lot nicer then before. The stages are also very well done, hitting a mark of graphics that hasn't been in any Pokemon game (I never thought they'd get so good at that stuff!). Plus being able to make your own trainer was fun, despite the lack of outfits and Meowth costumes. xD
And don't forget the stylized battles!
So don't just shoot down poor PBR. Sure it wasn't the game we were expecting, but it had a lot of neat things to offer.

EDIT:
Almost forgot.... I WANT A JHOTO REMAKE FOR DS!!! Kanto and Jhoto were the best! The third and fourth generations... not so much. They pretty much suck in my overall opinion.
