The game has monster raising aspects, battling aspects, grooming aspects, adventure aspects, exploration aspects, transversal aspects, they are filled with funny dialogue that paints a colorful world, with characters people cherish.
The games are much, much, much more than "the part where you battle". That is why something like Showdown will never be a blip on Gamefreak's radar. It's just not the reason people buy those games.
