Pokemon didn't die, the passion and love of like 90% of pokemon fans did. A lot of fan communities and whatnot including veepy dont give a shit about these games and dont discuss them at all. There are no battling or trading threads, almost no discussion of these games etc. Yet still it sold like what, 21 gorillian copies? This was a slap in the face to many fans, and killed the passion of many of them, but pokemon is still somehow alive. Or in a state resembling life. It proved that fans really dont matter and that we're not important to them, and theyre gonna get their sales anyway so just buy it or shut the fuck up. This announcement translated basically to "we are testing how little effort and how few shits we can give and still get away with it" and l.p. and behold they did get away with it. I wouldnt be surprised if gen 9 is even more lazy. And I wouldnt be surprised if it sold even more than swsh either.
