Game Freak is living the dream: low budget, high profit, huge loyal public that will buy anything as long as it has a Pikachu's face slapped on it, just for reusing the same formula over and over for 20 years.
Apparently the cash cow will never run dry, so why fix something if, on their eyes, isn't broken?
Having high hopes and drooling at any sign of fake leaks for Gen 8 is stupid.
