How the fuck did Game Freak manage to make all previous Elite 4 members in the entire series look like total pushovers next to literally 4 children?

Because they actually put in the bare minimum effort to craft Double Battles that aren't skewed in the player's favor, and Double Battles instantly improve the game's complexity and capacity for difficulty.

I really hope after this DLC we move to the Gym Leaders or at the very least the Elite 4 being double battles.
At least in those fights GF should actually put some effort and Indigo Disk showed how much better even regular trainer battles can be in doubles because all had some strategy involved.

I was thinking about in-universe, but if we think about the real world I'd actually rather play BB's 6v6 doubles than VGC's 4v4 meme or post gen 7 Smogon singles.

We really do need a game that's primarily doubles like Colosseum/Gale of Darkness.
Say what you will about those games, but I fucking love doubles as a format, it makes team building so much fun in my opinion.

Masuda's influence post-2D were a rot on the franchise. Notice the moment he left they started getting delays to be polished for the most part, started getting experimental, started making logical retcons to fix the unnecessary holdovers from previous games AND stopped with the fucking Kanto pandering

Uhhhh....Anon I don't know how to tell you this but Kanto pandering is not only still a thing, but the only 2 new Megas officially revealed for ZA are both from KANTOOOOOOO which is leading to constant Dragonite shilling as well as Masters now having a new event with Red from KANTOOOO who has (ANOTHER) Charizard from KANTOOOOOOO

Not the damn near constant Red/Charizard shilling though, like Charizard being the only Kanto starter in Paldea pre-DLC/updates or being in Alola as a mode of transport despite not being in that region's dex.
Or LGPE being the first games on the Switch (which Masuda surprisingly came back for, typical).
Or Kukui being given a Venusaur in the anime.
Or Charizard, Machamp and Gengar being the most popular Pokemon in Galar.
Kanto pandering is something we will never, ever be able to escape from. Hell, even Pokemon Go, despite being the last bastion of every Pokemon being available and needing to add more new Pokemon to the roster, is still having more Kanto related events.

They promote a game until the next is out. Z-A's release was delayed, so they have no option but to keep going with SV
