Pokemon has never actually been particularly interesting. Battling is far too boring (with AI) and min/maxing pokemon or making good teams is WAAAAY too much effort for basically no reward.
Only thing the series ever had going for it was that it had some cool areas and created a fairly interesting world. By this point, though, that hasn't evolved nearly enough to be interesting enough for the god damn 7th (or whatever) time.
