Personally I think Gamefreak has been trying to use the Exp. Share as an easy mode ever since Gen VI, with Gen V having Challenge Mode and the casuals starting to hit the series around Gen IV (not saying Gen IV was casualized, didn't play Diamond/Pearl but Platinum sure as hell wasn't for casuals).
Gamefreak has been trying to keep the old audience while trying to accommodate the generation of autistic nu-jap children that have attention spans of literal fucking goldfish.
My only hope is that PoLeGoPiPoLeGoEe is a containment game, created because Gamefreak heard that overseas audiences hated how easy the games were despite the ability to do things like turn off the Exp. Share to make it harder, so they're making a low effort shitpost to satisfy the normalfags while they create a good game that's actually challenging by default.
Or I could be wrong about it all and LGBT is just a cash grab and the casualization is never going to stop.
