Honestly its just become one of those games I play to unwind, its a chilled series and has a lot of options with gameplay, what with the pokemon and playstyles you can go by, e.g. monotype, nuzlocke, egglocke if you got the resources, etc.
People tend to say Pokemons a casual series and it is, but while it would be nice that they could improve its difficulty more, i'm not angry over it at the end of the day.
Pokemon doesn't come to mind when I think "difficult", there's many other games to fill that role and if you really want to play the series for difficulty, you can just find one of many pokemon fangames to at least try and scratch that itch or just try the self imposed challenges.
Also helps that the series is so big that art porn is pumped out on the regular, there's character or pokemon if that's your thing, for everyone.
