Because sure, it doesn't matter how it tried to change the formula 20 years stucked in the same pattern.
How they started to make maps more natural instead of blocky designs.
How they made something that fans wanted for years, variations of pokemon from other gens. It was just kanto but it started the trend.
Regular SM story is of the best of the series even without implying world changing or destruction to be good.
There are no "now I'll destroy all" moments, it's a character-based story.
They give you a good reason to why a 11 years old could have a legendary. Being part of the story all the time not just a reward without meaning who's just powerful to make the league easier.
And a collectible.
Like in BW with the 2 dragons destined to fight one against the other.
Pokémon doesn't need NOW I'LL RULE THE WORLD. I'LL DESTROY THE REGION I'LL ERASE THE UNIVERSE BC HOW BAD I'M.
Just needs better writting and more time to develop characters. Not like SwSh where the game is pushing you all the time to the next place.
