Gen2 tried to brought women and girls with baby forms.
Gen3 tried to bring the digimon audience.
Gamefreak saw Blaziken and Lucario made tons of money so they decided to keep making more Digimon rip offs
Gen5 thought going full-Digimon lost them their identity so they tried to do a soft-reboot but the genwunners cried because they didn't see Caterpie and Pidgey in route 1
Gen6 said fuck it, let's steal Mega Evolution from Digimon and make old Charizard fans care about pokemon again
Gamefreak saw the massive success of Gen6 with the Kanto pandering, decided to make Gen7 and Gen8 a total Charizard wankfest shit with more Digimon designs.
Gamefreak saw a lot of complaining that the games have been declining in quality because of the recycled ideas with no innovation.
They made PLA to test waters, but it sold worse than most of the other main games
Gamefreak went crazy at the fans, and decided to brought Reddit and Twitter as new audience by completely changing the artstyle to suit Reddit memes, and made everything look gay to appeal to Twitter without even putting it in QA because they realized pedofags and charizard autists will buy anything anyway
