Honestly I just wish Nintendo kind of quietly let another studio *coughmonolithsoftcough* do a "spinoff" Pokemon game that was just legitimately better than the actual Pokemon games, maybe still straight up Pokemon RPG but experimenting with a more Ni No Kuni/Yokai Watch Real Time Battle System or something to justify it being a "spinoff" and Gamefreak allowing it.
Gamefreak have always been incompetent, from the numerous game breaking bugs of Red and Blue to the atrocious bloated codebase of G/S to the unoptimised area unique model duplication of the 3D games. The problem is you have a borderline D-grade studio who struck gold with Pokemon and they've never really improved their talent or ability in the time since and they don't really need to because Pokemon is basically a money printing machine. Just look at Level-5 and Yokai Watch in comparison, almost the same amount of mons, but upgraded every generation with far better graphics and animation work than Game Freak has ever put out.
Honestly look at the animation work on non-Gamefreak Pokemon games like Stadium or Battle Revolution, blows these newer Pokemon games out of the water. They've had assets for essentially all the Pokemon since 2013, what are they doing?
