Pokémon's never going to do what every other two-bit studio, desperate for sales will do. They dont care about adults, when the kids buy in in the droves they do, thus can keep the normies and kids happy and content. They don't NEED to give a shit about keeping the manchild incels happy, they're bigger than Star Wars so don't need to rely on THAT demographic to drive the brand.
