Please tell me, why do you keep buying the games?

Is it because you enjoy the actual campaigns?
Or is it just to complete collections?
Or some other reason? I figured if you just liked the battling, there's showdown. The campaigns have seemed so dumbed down/easy/etc I can't imagine that. Is it just to try and keep completing your own pokedex over and over?

Please tell me, I want an honest answer.

I'm not yet grown so old that the simple things in life no longer entertain me.
That I don't seek complete fulfilment from the sereis, but rather achive that by playing many different type of genres and games is another. Pokémon can do what it wants and I'll still tag along and get what I like out of it. If I wanted it to be something else, I'd just go play something else instead instead of trying to herd cats like people here are, trying to get the series to start caring for them.

I've always hated the campaigns, literally just button mash through them. Battling isn't fun for me. I play the games to complete dexes. I wish there were monster collecting games I liked better but Pokemon's basically the only one with a design philosophy I consistently like. Temtem sucks to play, Yokai Watch's characters are annoying, SMG's monsters are too 'sapient' I guess. I want a game where I can just be a zoologist and discover cool creatures and Pokemon's the closest I've gotten to it.

Last game I bought was US/UM. It was alright but the fact that it was just a completion patch for S/M made me realize they aren't ever going to pack as much into the games as they used to.
Since then, I've gotten my pokemon fix from romhacks and showdown

Pretty much because I enjoy shiny hunting as a low stakes way to avoid gambling. $60 once a year is better than $300 every weekend. It's been genuinely therapeutic.
I'm not really sure what happens when I reach a full shiny dex, though. I'm at like 200 now, though, so a long way off.

I like the Pokémon themselves, and creating interesting typings and teams. But I'm not interested in shit like BDSP nor was.I in Let's Go. I also rarely ever got third versions.

Last game I bought was sword (I didn't bother with the DLC) but that's the last mainline game I'm gonna buy since it totally killed my interest in new mainline games.
VGC, and shiny hunting were the things that kept me going. But having a full pokedex and transferring ALL of my bros to the next generation was the most important thing to me. Now that I can't even transfer all of my ribbon-masters or the shinies I've collected through the years (plus the games being shittier and shittier) I'm not interested on buying more shit made by Gamefreak.
I still like the franchise, but I'm not gonna waste 60+ dollars for games that are worse than their predecessors.

I don't. In fact, I never bought a Pokémon game.
It was gifted to me.
My last non-pirate Pokémon game was during Gen 3 and I see no reason to ever change that.

I'm simply entertained by anything with a narrative. With pokemon I like the features and "stuff" and minigames they offer, I just like pokemon. Digimon has better games but I prefer Pokemon, because they're more like creatures or even aliens, than Digimon evolving into a god with a completely human form. After Sun/moon (which disappointed me because of how bad the online features were), I got SwSh only because my so got it for me and wanted a game we could play together even though I didn't really want SwSh. I enjoyed the main story and characters of SwSh but I can't honestly say it was worth it, I didn't really like the wild area though I completed the pokedex. Basically besides the main story(not phenomenal but it does its job), SwSh is a failure. The camp is a downgrade from amie and and the online features are still not as good as the pss. I know I should play the dlc because that's the true experience but I don't get why they didn't add it. The base SwSh games are very bare so it's insulting, if SwSh was filled with more content I could understand the price point. Some of my favorite pokemon got dexcut, so maybe if the next gen 9 game has those I may buy but I may not, just getting tired of how awful pokemon is. The side games are far better at this point, even that poke cafe app.

BDSP is going to be the first game in the series I've bought since HGSS. I'm buying it because it looks like exactly what I want out of a DP remake from what I've seen of it, and it even has stuff in it I didn't know I wanted but I'm very excited for now that I know they exist. It's DPPt but it doesn't run at 10 FPS on original hardware or 20 on an emulator and on top of that I like the fact they tried to recapture the chibi artstyle of the original games in 3d without the jarring sprite/model hybrid garbage from gens 4 and 5.

Because I enjoy monster hunting and critter collecting genre.

I've also bought Monster Sanctuary, Monster Hunter, Nexomon, TemTem, Yo-Kai Watch, Monster Crown, Viva Piñata, Slime Rancher, and Bugsnax. Some of these games are not great, but I still played them. I realy enjoy buying them blindly just to see if they end up being surprise gems (Which was the case for Slime Rancher and Nexomon) and it makes discovering the critters a lot more fun because I have zero clue what they could be.

A big part of why I love Pokemon is that the amount of fan mods and fan game content is enormous. The Pokemon Wilds fan game is insane, and there was a ROM hack I played ages ago where you play as a Team Rocket member with one of your starters either being Koffing, Ekans, or Meowth and it was great. Plus that BW2 mod which ramps up the game's difficulty and has the gym leaders using real Smogon strats against you.

Surely the people who love Pokemon ALSO love monster collecting games, right? It can't just be, "No, only Pokemon and only official games".

Kinda bug and kinda snack
Try to catch 'em in your trap
Feed somebody and you'll see
We are whatever we eat
Find 'em hiding in the sand
Tearing up a ketchup patch
Come to Snaktooth Island and
Discover its Bugsnax
