I feel it in my gut that some day Pokemon is going to have his "BotW"-like game that will make it revolutionary and relevant again, but until then we're gonna get a lot of stinkers.
That was Legends: Arceus. But it still didn't sell nearly as well as Sword+Shield or Scarlet+Violet did.
tbh the Pokemon Company could probably not change a thing and keep churning out the same slop for fifty more years and still be the largest franchise on the planet.
