I know that all of this barely relates to the thread, but I have to wonder if the current administration at TPC and Game Freak even knows what fans want. In between this and what Sugimori said about the anime and the scrapped movie, it feels like they're trying to stay on good terms with everyone while not delivering a satisfying product (or story for that matter) at the same time.
I don't know. Like, Pokémon narrative has always been a mess, but these declarations would explain a lot when it comes to the current stories, especially the whole "isn't the bond between humans and Pokémon better?" shit. The games and anime have been a failure at balancing that shit with the human stories because one ends up weighing more than the other (see Arven, Team Star, Kieran, and hell, most of Horizons for examples), and it’s no wonder why, they’re trying to appeal to people who want Pokémon drama and people who want human drama at the same time without compromising, but they unconsciously compromise anyway.
