As much as I like the child-like wonder of the Pokémon universe, I feel like there needs to be a push to appeal it to an older audience. Not because I want grimdark or grittier themes, I love the adventure vibe, but Pokémon is a prime example of a franchise that thinks it never has to stand on it's own merits, or improve for the long term in any substantial way for any reason other than it can appeal to children. As if apparently this is actually an excuse you can use; if kids play your game, you never have to improve it.
Stop taking interesting features out each and every time you want to cash in on another generation, it's been 20 years. Where is the decisive title which culminates all of these 20 years of experience into one game? It's fine if you want to try new things, but god damn it leave those for spinoff titles or something. Is it so much to ask that we just get a well polished, well tested game that won't fall to shambles after 2 months like the pieces of consumerist garbage most mainline games are?
