Nowadays all the original pokemon fans are around our age, 25-30 year old adults. And now there's a whole new younger generation of fans who weren't even born when the series first started who get into it during any of the later generations.
As said TMNT and Pokemon were similar franchises where their first incarnations were so hugely popular due to the fad that it sort of dwarfs everything that comes after, even if the later stuff is good or even better than the originals. It's just that it was a huge childhood fad, and older fans grow up and leave the franchise because they get full-time jobs, etc...and younger kids don't get into it as much because there's no huge fad compelling them to stick with it.
