>>53479204It would have sold well with or without "muh ambition". The proof of this is that the game is a buggy mess with bad Single Player mode balance, so people either don't care or have no standards. You're fooling yourself into thinking, after SWSH's and BDSP"s positive performances, that people care if a Pokemon game is more complex or different than the previous entry.
Pokemon SELLs, no matter what they do.
