Has pokemon become more about the human characters instead of the Pokémon? To an older audience atleast?

I don't know about everyone in general, but I've always liked the Pokemon while not giving a shit about humans, but gen 8 was the opposite. The new Pokemon designs are very ugly imo while SwSh's characters were for the most part really nice people with an interesting tie in to the world, which made them endearing. It's because of that that I'm upset they didn't flesh them out more.

Gen 7-8 feel like the games are more about the characters than the actual Pokemon

SM story was about Lillie and her family drama with Pokemon as a side plot

SWSH was about Rose something to do with energy in the future or some shit, nothing to do with the legendary pokemon other than Eternatus (barely) and Hop and Leon and Sonia and Marnie, again, nothing about the legendary pokemon.

Then we have Masters which is literally all about the characters.

Yes and no.

Gamefreak is definitely intentionally trying to make more appealing and marketable characters. They know that there is the waifu and husbando market who will buy merch. The emphasis on story the last couple gens had has aided this angle as well getting people more invested in the humans.

I do not think they are screwing over the Pokemon aspect intentionally. They market specific Pokemon like Mimikyu and Rowlett, it's just they have clearly exhausted themselves on designing them. and are dry for ideas. The main push will always be for the Pokemon though.
