But to answer your question, it's a combination of both laziness AND incompetence. Because most of their money comes from merchandise rather than the games, they have this mindset that they've no need to provide a true quality experience for the games themselves. The games don't need to be good because they'll still sell due to brand loyalty/recognition, as well as provide more Pokémon to sell stuff for. They're also not what they could be because GF refuses to hire more people to get the hard stuff done, aka models and animations. They also need to hire competent storywriters.
