Quite the opposite desu. Pick boy or girl and go romance a boy or girl. Persona did it in the 90s without even having a gender select
But I agree it would still be too much for gf

Absolute fucking horseshit. You want to know why the Persona series is vastly more popular than its parent Shin Megami Tensei series? Because it's a dating sim. Include a dating sim in a modern Pokemon game and it will sell like hotcakes.

I don’t ENTIRELY disagree, but Persona and SMT aren’t marketed towards literal children. Pokemon as a brand could get hurt if they try to put dating sim stuff front and centre in a mainline game, so they’d rather not take that risk.

The dating sim aspects need not have explicit scenes or anything, even just repeating Yancy's activity of "spend some time together doing an activity, then trade Pokemon" would work. SV already has pseudo-social links with the three friends and the teachers, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

I feel like they've been testing the water a bit again with the friend NPCs and the teachers in SV.
You get a male and a female friend/rival that grow very close to you. I feel like they are written and presented in a way that the player is supposed to develop a crush on them.
Then there's also Carmine and Kieran which are also a pair of male and female NPCs that get close to the MC. And both are kinda popular romance archetype as well (Carmine is the tsun girl that warms up to you and Kieran is a shy guy that gets strangely obsessed with you? something straight of an otome game).
And with the teachers have you have an "affection system" that you can raise and unlock new scenes.
We've always had characters like Shauna and Lillie but they might be steering a bit more into it while pandering more to female players as well. Which is great if you're a bifag, it doubles your options.
