Non-annual game series that always get better with each mainline sequel.

IMO; I wouldn't really pick OP's mentions.
I mean, yes, they improve in each iteration, but that's because they play it to incredibly safe, barely adding anything noteworthy in each iteration.
Pokemon is especially shoddy, because it IS an annualised sequel, and it constantly removes cool features from past games.

Rockband was, but they stopped making them.
Sure it does - the lesser entries are mostly still good to great though.

Some aspects were improved from SA to IV, sure, but overall IV is a much worse game. V is the best in the series though.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Far Cry or Gears? Far Cry that's a typo, why would I say FC2 has things absent in FC2?
Gears, I wouldn't consider Judgement to be a mainline sequel, and I'm sure most would agree.
Can I not count the 989 Twisted Metal games and say that franchise?
PS3 Twisted Metal is actually fantastic as a MP or just straight up Challenge Deathmatch game. The singleplayer is a little disappointing, but it is definitely an improvement where it matters over the previous games. I think TMB is better than 2, which is better than 1.
Whoever is saying Elder Scrolls is way off, Morrowind is still the best one.

Yeah, it's a shame Galaxy didn't hold up to Sunshine but it was still a great game in it's own right.
Honestly I don't know if I'd put all of the 3D ones above the early 2D ones. Even though they are all technically the same series it's like comparing apples to oranges so they might as well be seperate.

A few months ago could have added Tetris on this list...
But San Andreas and Vice City isn't better
Nah Tetris was always way better than Tetris 2.
I'm not sure I'd say Civ III ever reaches a point that tops Civ II. Beyond that, though, I agree.

Yes they are... Vice city is a bit short and the lack of swimming is sad, but it has the atmosphere
San andreas just shits on IV

City Folk was underwhelming compared to Wild World.
Wow wrong on every count

Nah, it really doesn't count because of the constant arbitrary addition and removal of features and the unoptimized games.
Persona is the only series that I actually play that I think fits this category.
