I came up with a survey to gauge your satisfaction with the series, if anyone would like to humor me::

for each question beyond this, answer the question, then mark on a scale of 1 to 5 of how much you've thought of this question before, 1 being very little/not at all and 5 being very frequently (in square brackets for easy formatting). if you don't know, then put 1:
example:
- choose a number from 1 to 5
	2 [1]

- when did you first become a pokemon fan/how long have you been a pokemon fan for?
- on a scale of 1 to 5, how invested are you in pokemon? this means actively following or basing hobbies around pokemon, which extends beyond playing the games casually
- on a scale of 1 to 5, how critical are you of game freak and pokemon?
- which pokemon games have you bought upon release, starting from when you were first introduced to pokemon?
- for each game you bought upon release, mark each game from 1 to 10, 1 representing extreme reluctance towards buying it, and 10 representing extreme excitement towards buying it, 5 being the middle.
	- alternatively, for each game you bought upon release, mark each game from 1 to 5, representing your expectations towards the game
- for each game you bought upon release, rate each game from 1 to 10
	- alternatively, for each game you bought upon release, state one of the following:
		- this game greatly succeeded my expectations
		- this game succeeded my expectations
		- this game met my expectations
		- this game was worse than my expectations
		- this game was severely worse than my expectations

- do you think these are unnecessary/useless questions?
	- not at all
	- no opinion/don't know
	- don't care
	- very unnecessary ("why are you asking so many questions")
