honestly seems like it
the name "pokemon" isnt enough because it already has pretty awful visuals compared to other single player games like odyssey and botw
they also chose really weird colors for the logo instead of just going with the safer yellow, which most normies recognize
i have a strong feeling gamefreak intentionally wants this to sell less than swsh and bdsp so that they actually never have a reason to try this route again
they are pretty adamant that open world is not the approach for pokemon rpgs, and they just dont want to take the botw route, which goes against their yearly releases schedule AND is a lot of risk for the amount of effort put and profit earned
this will be shat out quickly in mediocre quality and obviously no post release support, which will convince plenty of normies and even pokemon fans who wanted open world rpg experience that simple pokemon rpg experiences like swsh and bdsp are better than open world pokemon rpg experiences
