Why did Nintendo abandon this franchise? It was one of their biggest GBA titles and their second most popular RPG series, only behind Pokemon.

Falling sales and better alternatives, in that order. You don't care about that, though, do you?

>The original game sold 740,000 copies in the United States[54] and 338,000 in Japan,[55] while The Lost Age sold 437,000 and 249,000 units in the United States and Japan, respectively.[56] By the end of 2012, two years after its release, Dark Dawn only sold 80,000 units in Japan.[57]
This is why

That's more than Xenoblade 1 did and that gets more games

Xenoblade was a prestige project. Nintendo had no intention to even port it, than a vocal group of people clamored for it and Nintendo realized that the series is a good figurehead. One you can put out and say: "SEE?! We got games!" while not investing a lot of time or money into it. Well, at least they realized it by then, because 1 to X had 5 years, but X to 2 had barely any time at all.
Golden Sun wasn't a prestige project, they didn't need it to advertise the NDS.

All I want is a continuation of Dark Dawn, unfortunately I feel if we ever do get some life back into this franchise it will be a remake.

I've only ever beat the first game. I got a quarter of the way through with the second game and ended up not playing it anymore.

nintendo doesn't have to make a diverse library anymore. their fanbase is content with mario rehashes, ports and smash announcement trailers.
