>>12124115But Pokemon games constantly evolve.
most criticism about "games are always the same" comes from people who don't even like the game in the first place.
I CONSTANTLY see that shit: "why is it turn based combat, omg mainline pokemon must move to Wii U and become realtime"
because realtime combat will simply not work with a battle system like this.
"why only four moves"
Because four move limit allows them to add moves that, in any other game, would be incredibly broken.
For example, a sweeper usually has one boost move, one protection move of some kind, such as Substitute, and two attacks (one STAB and one coverage).
let's change it to six moves, then a sweeper gets one boost, one protection and three coverages, allowing pretty much always for perfect chart coverage.
