It's not the formula or the gameplay that sells Pokémon, it's Pokémon. That's all I'm saying.
People buying a piece of garbage like SwShit in droves because it's the only way to really interact with the cool monsters and the world they live in doesn't mean they approve of it being a stagnant RBY rehash until the end of time, they just have no other choice if they want a new Pokémon adventure.
