Why are you surprised by the company's recent decisions? They're actually a decent strategy for targeting modern children.
>Kids have lower attention spans: They removed grinding by adding the exp share.
>Kids are worse at videogames. They have trouble even beating the first level of Super Mario Bros without dying: They lowered the games difficulty and added more tutorials.
>Kids have access to more video games than ever before: So they added gimmicks to grab kid's attention.
>Kids are more prone to rage quit a difficult game instead of getting better: They made the difficulty curve lower.
>Most kids didn't play the original games: They have no incentive to add every pokemon from previous Gens.
Every decision by Game Freak appeals to modern children. Adult aren't the target demographic. We're just a loud minority in a sea of children.
