This the problem that no one notices. Game Freak aren’t stupid, they know the one thing that they never can touch is the core of being able to catch and battle. That is why GO did so well. They could go as far as to cut everything except for that, but as long as it has that and the Pokemon logo it will sell millions. It’s just a fact. This is why I think Pokemon will always be a zombie franchise and will be a different example to The Last Jedi or that Fallout game. A new region, new designs and a new gimmick help encourage another few millions on top of that who weren’t already satiated with the core mechanics. It’s never changing. GO only cemented the state of the mainline games. It may potentially only change if brand reputation is damaged. But that is unlikely.
