By the same logic Pokemon is dead since nobody is talking about it in any context, beside occasional drawfags dropping porn of one of the characters.
Which I guess goes to show making pornable characters is vital to the game's longevity.
Also I doubt SV actually made substantial profit, with all the advertising and paid shilling they had to spend money on. Pokemon makes money on merch and cards, not games. Palworld just rode the hype wave, they must've 10x at least.
