>>53940225"To accompadate Compfags" is definitely the wrong take, its to gimmick competitive and also the general battle system.
Which is the cleanest way to make the game distinct, they don't care about the specifics to that extent.
This idea is unsustainable sure, but by the time they're forced to rotate around; anything with those gimmick will probably be decently old.
Also gimmicks attempt to sell merch by themselves(even if Zs were a failure, which is why they went back to pokemon focused gimmicks).
