It's somewhat similar to how TPC was genuinely scared of Yo-Kai Watch's brief bout of immense Japanese popularity that hijacked Pokemon for a little while and that we're STILL feeling its effects to this day.
So basically what I'm trying to say is anything that may threaten the stability of the Pokemon franchise in TPC's eyes will only somehow cause it to become stronger, akin to a hydra whose heads aren't all felled at once in one clean cauterizing swing.
