Well, Mario at least totally changes it's gameplay now and again, last time being with SM64, before that they had SMB2, which then went back to the old style with SMB3, but it was heavily expanded on the original. Zelda pretty much kept the same style except for Adventure of Link, though they all bring something new to the table. Final Fantasy has a different battle system each game. Pokémon, well it's a fun enough game that it's second and third iteration are fine. You know, really Pokémon has only "rehashed" twice, it's just that it's got like 3 or so versions each sequal... Sonic and Mega Man haven't added too much except moves (8 new moves for Mega Man at the very least each new game for instance), but they are fun enough types of games that you really only want expansions on the same concept.
I'll say this Existance. (I hereby refuse to use whatever FuSoYa style capatalization you insist on when refering to you, it's just too much.) Most of those franchises you listed DO get flack for being redundant. I've heard most of them insulted for lack of creativity at one time or another.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
