They actually care about the Pokémon

They don’t even believe in their products,unless that’s just an excuse to pat theirself on the shoulders while saying:”people wouldn’t fully complete the game anyway so why bothers to add new contents or post game contents?”Which is technically true cause there are lots of players who just complete the story,defeat the Pokémon league and never touch the game again,but these kind of people where always there but they didn’t stop them from making masterpieces like HG/SS,platinum(which I hope they’ll do a good job with the distortion world) or BW2.Sadly no matters how low effort a Pokémon game can be,people will always buy it.From my point of view I will buy only the gen 4 remake and never buy a Pokémon game again until they’ll pull themself together,stop pattIng theirself on the shoulders and most importantly,stop being lazy,soulless and money hungry idiots.

They just have a bad PR team

@@Gimas96 Me who played days and days and months getting every pokemon in BW and B2W2 played each of these 2 games more than 30 times EACH meanwhile I played sun and moon once and couldn't even finish SWSH. What a shame, they were an exemple of originality and great game developing, now they're just a bunch of lazy asses with lame ass games.

Stupidity is in their heads.

welcome to 2020 generation of VagAnal males.

It’s impossible for a billion dollar company to add a map if they somehow can’t add others features and all Pokémon.

W-What? No way, maps are way too complicated for children.

Gen 7 has maps for the places we visit but can we really get lost in those games?

@@PolarGuy I meant more detailed maps for specific areas. Like dungeon maps or overworld/route maps that give the player more of an idea of where they are

@@PKmeloa the rotomdex in gen 7 did that. even if the rotomdex was annoying there, it did the overworld map right.

Not to mention Sun and Moon that have the most annoying cutscenes ever

If people didn’t have time to play then they wouldn’t play at all….. wtf are they even talking about

@@bottledpoe Not to mention, Pokemon is an RPG... You can save and quit at anytime that you arent locked in a battle or cutscene.. You have literally as much time as you can put aside to finish them. If you feel you won't be able to beat a battle before you need to quit, but want to try anyways, save before the fight, quit when you run out of time. GameFreak either grew lazy or The Pokemon Company grew impatient. Either option is awful.
I often fantasize that Pokemon never moved to 3D models and the 2D sprite animations got more advanced, leading into animations that actually interact with one another. Punches that connect to the enemy model, taking size into account and having actual unique animations for moves.

@@bottledpoe Yeah.

Ironic for what is basically a Nintendo 2nd party developer to not realise this.
GF really are the weakest link in the Nintendo family of developers. TPC should strip them from the franchise and had it to a better team.

That happened to dk 64 lol

@tom gu because Nintendo doesn't own TPC, and owns only about 30% of pokemon franchise. They don't make the rules in this case.

These Guys talk such utter Nonsense.
'You either die as a Hero or live long enough to become the Villain' is really personified with Masuda.
He's talking like he's on bad Medicine. For real. His Interview-Statements are kinda similar like if he talked about how Meoth evolved at Lv.15 into Pikachu and then again 10 Levels later at Lv.8 - in to Giratina himself.

The new game Arceus is better then the last 6 genaration games since hoen i never felt the pokemon vibe so clearly then in this game again.

They should also incorporate gameplay into the story. It feels like you are reading a novel rather than playing a game.

Black version was my very first Pokémon game and the only one I really enjoyed playing over and over again! They did almost everything perfectly and sooooo much the game is so memorable and lovable!! ❤️

Since Pokemon is literally the highest grossing franchise in the world it makes sense that their ego has them what they are now. They can make an entry even worse than sonic boom it will still sell. And the overly milked anime that is literally just a soulless glorified commercial for merch can use an idea from the worst written pokemon fanfic ever and it will still have millions of views
In short it's too big to fail but it has suffered the curse of massive yet soulless companies.

Hey shyguymask. Love your content!! Keep it up :]

it's comparable in scale to the wild area tbh, if not larger

It's genuinely sad how small and claustrophobic the regions and routes have become.. 3D is supposed to allow devs to create vast and dense environments and tailor them around the gameplay, something GameFreak simply doesn't do.
This is probably due to GameFreak's incompetence with 3D programming but even that shouldn't be a problem considering what a massive amount of resources they have. They could just hire devs to purely focus on designing and programming the environements and still hire other teams for other tasks. GameFreak is great in designing Pokemon and character designs but they pretty much suck at everything else... If they actually spent some money and cared abour their products it could result in an incredible game.
But oh well, profit > reputation

It's one of my favourite Routes in the entire series, and I always look forward to it on a Hoenn playthrough. The fact that you go through it after beating the protagonist's father always makes me consider it the "half-way point" in the game, and as the route that separates the two halves of Hoenn. The triumphant music also gives it a "you've come this far, so don't give up now" feeling.

@Alexis Eronmwon My first was AlteRed. That's a ROM Hack of Firered, but it has every pokemon from the first three gens, along with all the gen 4 evolutions, and to top it off, EVERY POKEMON has been redesigned, renamed, retype, and has had an updated moveset with moves from all eight gens. It also has the physical/special split, although moves don't say whether they're physical or special. Still, amazing game.

Rip Uranium. You will be missed 😔

True. Just look how amazing pokemon RadicalRed is

*Happy Pokemon Clover noises*

@@youraveragesub best Game

I may like exploration, but I think catching the Pokemon in the routes make up for it.

I understand you but I didnt like needing to search how to go to every site still was better that straight line

The last time a new region had that was Kalos...which was TEN YEARS AGO. Jesus Christ.

They can’t be asked to code in all the different battle facilities for each new generation because they’re lazy, they’ve ported the battle frontier between games before (platinum and hgss). It’s easier and quicker for them to code the battle tower than it is for them to code 7 other battle facilities, which is a shame. The argument of not needing to add in the battle frontier because of “muh mobile gamez” is stupid because almost every Pokemon fan would rather play a GOOD (or even great) Pokemon game than flappy bird. They only hold the tournaments because they earn A LOT of money from them and if they cancelled them there would be RIOTS.

@@cottoncandiez8872 you must be a Publisify fan

@@pyroflare7774 For having a different opinion? oh the horror!

Thinking back I did a Nuzlocke of Ultra Moon when it came out, because I was disappointed with Moons difficulty level. Well I beat the ultra version in my first try "blind". The only difficulty I had in the game was ultra necrozma

Or just use crappy Pokémon who have no evolutions like Pachirisu (garbage in singles, which makes up like 95% of all battles in the game, yes I know Sejun Park that was VGC), Emolga... let me just cut this short by saying "pretty much all pikaclones except Morpeko and Togedemaru because those are actually *kinda* decent in singles".
Why they don't put a difficulty system is beyond me. All they have to do is tweak the levels a bit. Probably wouldn't take longer than an hour. That way players can make true challenges for themselves by doing a nuzlocke, using Pokémon without evolutions AND playing on hard mode, and tweaking off the EXP share if they had any damn option to do so anymore. They have to stop deciding for the player what the difficulty is gonna be.
No difficulty system worked in a game like Dark Souls because the game was already inherently difficult. People have fun from the game no matter what. When it comes to Pokémon, people get bored because it's too easy and players have to *go out of their way* to make it more difficult. It just doesn't work.

Or, and this is a pretty simple solution. Don't play a kid's game. Like it's incredibly simple to pick up a game that was actually designed for you. Especially nowadays. If you want a challenge, then you're not a kid and Pokemon isn't for you.

And then proceeded to remove any chance of doing a nuzlocke by making wild encounters non-random and turning EXP share to always on,

Well you can't Nuzlocke cuz random encounters are gone

Yeesh and I thought I make huge ass comments

I would disagree, despite being a Unova fanboy. My word, THE WHOLE DS POKEMON ERA IS THE PEAK OF MAINLINE GAMES. they had more twists, more explorations, effort to make people get more interested, 2 of the greatest positive changes (Damage category and Unbreakable TMs) and much more! I really wish that Unova shouldn't get a 3d remake. 2d remaster with all new pokemons having newer 2d sprites etc.

i respect your opinion but palpitoad

@@steel.9714 Or, Game Freak fixes whatever they're doing wrong and makes a worthy remake of the brilliant games. Maybe even have Pokemon B&W packaged with B&W 2, considering the plot does directly flow on between the two games...

@@lloydmcgee3030 Bro Pokémon designs in gen 5 are off the chart:
excadrill, hydreigon, ferrothorn, krookodile, darmanitan, conkeldurr, scolipede, archeops, cofagrigus, scrafty, zoroark, reuniclus, escavalier, jellicent, bisharp, galvantula, volcarona, haxorus, braviary, mandibuzz, mienshao, durant, serperior.
These are just evo lines that I personally think are cool and would want on my team during a playthrough.
You can't look at that list and tell me that gen 5 designs are bad, or any worse than what came before it. I couldn't name as many from other gens that I'd actually choose to have on my team during a playthrough. Everyone always seems to fixate on vanilluxe and garbodor for having bad designs and forget about the others, when actually gen 5 probably has one of the strongest dexes in the entire series (at least in my opinion) - I think a lot more people are starting to realise that the older these games become.

When Bethesda stopped giving a damn about fallout and 343i with Halo, it hurt. But after seeing all of that, Game Freak hasn’t surprise me, it just makes me disappointed

Im just gunna paste a comment I put on a halo video because it applies equally well...
Most of the original halo (pokemon) team has left. The people that remain aren't true artists, entrepreneurs, risk takers; they're career ladder climbers who don't hold a fraction the passion the original team had. The original bungie team was working tooth and nail to bring something entirely new at the cost of their careers, relationships, and health. Inversely, the new 343 team work to further their own careers at the cost of the halo franchises future, relationship with fans, and overall longevity.
The reason this happens is because the true artists are best at making their art, and not at the internal politics of the office workplace. This means the people most able and willing to manipulate those politics to their favor end up in control while the artists are kicked out or denigrated to smaller roles. Consider them like how the flood has to take control of already living organisms, it can't create on its own so it manipulates and denigrates what is already there.

This is so true. Watching Pokemon become what it is hurts me on such a deep, personal level. It made me into who I am.
The first fanfic I wrote was Pokemon and it sparked a life-long passion for writing in me. That writing led me to obscure corners of the world: the art of falconry, the Ainu people, the Basque people, the field of linguistics. I've learned so much by doing research for writing. I've grown a healthy respect for those obscure corners. I want to learn to approach people on their level as beset I can. I want to respect other cultures and languages.
Dealing with large volumes of information forced me to learn to make up systems from scratch.
It's given me lifelong friends that I don't know what I'd do without if they suddenly disappeared.
To see literally the most important series of my life go down the drain like this hurts me to _no_ end.

I agree, gen 5 perfected the visuals. I honestly don’t feel motivated to play the 3D games for that reason, idk it feels like I’m playing Pokémon stadium instead of an actual mainline Pokémon game, or maybe I’m just not used to playing with 3D models in Pokémon games and need to play more to get used to it

@@kingdoge69 Nah you’ll never get used to it these games look and feel cheap now, the sprites MADE Pokemon pokemon. Think of it like this, whenever you see a sprite based game there’s a twinge in your mind that reminds you of Pokemon. The game removed the key aspect of the main game series, only side games had 3D models now it’s every game.

@@ichxro yup, I think you’re right

The 3D models made by other developers in spinoff games like Colosseum are much better.

Totally agree, plus i really liked gen 5, o felt that even after 20 years there still was so much to do, so disappointed of the route they took, what hurts me even more is that i feel i will never connect with the new gens of pokemon since they don't have 2d sprites, i can judge how a pikachu looks making the comparison to what it used to be, but with these?? I think i can't, well i finally decided and got myself a 3ds, will play yx and oras after i play b&w2 for the last time.

I mean I'm personally grateful for accessibility features like exp sharing since I cannot stand turn-based combat, but still like everything else the series has to offer. But if other players want to challenge themselves I don't see why they shouldn't be able to.

I’ve always said that there will never be another Pokémon game like Hgss again

@UCFKgKuXeJKzPVBK8eqt5WGQ thats to reward players who remember seeing a waterfall to come back to get an item for later, dumb ass. You shouldn’t just be rewarded for walking in a straight line without backtracking

yep. tho to be honest Animal Crossing is imo a fairly overrated game... it is good fun for quite a while until you realise all the stuff you buy for your house is just decorative useless sh*t and the most content is actually collecting fish/insects. the game absolutely needs some The Sims treatment...

I tried to get into New Horizons and enjoyed it for about a few weeks, but then I just lost interest. I also wasn't a fan with how content from older games like swimming was just drip fed to give the illusion of free DLC. Still better than SwSh though.

One of the great things about animal crossing though is its endless, so players decide when it ends when theyve had their fill :D could be days or months or years until the game "ends"

@@steveportman2009 Sure, but it came out like 11 years ago. A franchise should improve over time rather than become stagnant or even regress.

Bonjour, fellow Trainers.
I ask around, trying to find out how many
people are (rightfully) mad about the ridiculous Difficulty BUT YET
have not played Mystery Dungeon (especially 'Sky')?!
Award-winning Music and the most complex Story in the Franchise are
present things,
but most importantly: The difficulty. The stress, the challenge,
the Everything. This is how Pokemon Games should be.
Mystery Dungeon Sky is literally the same Story-producing Stuff like
that legendary Miltank - you know which one.
Everything that is good about Challenge and Self-Worth
and all that; its all in this Game.
So? Youre mad about the Franchise, you feel its lacking - but you never
played PMD-Skye or P-Ranger?!

Cuts to eternata beam.

When people dismiss my opinion on the graphism of a switch game, I point them to mario odyssey on how good looking it is, considering it came with the console release.

Don't forget about how much better Splatoon 2 is than 1, and Xenoblade chronicles Definitive edition.

Fire emblem's writing got wayy better in sov and 3h when compared to the cringefest that came before it

Nintendo actually loves their properties decently tho (o3o) they're different developers after all.

Sunshine era was epic

I absolutely love the lapras shiny color in the 2d sprites
It's such a nice shade of purple
But the 3d model from xy uses such awful, washed out colors
It feels like a crime to do that

Honestly I loved Gen 7 beautiful Pastel colors. Something that shouldn't have left.

@@slevinchannel7589 I mean...gen 7 especially USUM had everything you mentioned in " Award-winning Music and the most complex Story in the Franchise are 2 things,
but most importantly: The difficulty. The stress, the challenge,
the Everything. " to be honest. Or at least a pretty good story.

Shiny Sableye used to be an awesome copper/bronze colour and has somehow turned bright yellow from G6 onwards.

Literally just shrugging, throwing in the towel and calling it a design philosophy lmao

If it is going to be faithful again, wouldn't the story still be good? I mean I never heard any hatred of black and White's story so wouldn't nothing change?

Kyurem uses the DNA splicers at the end and it just cuts to black with a text box that says “Kyurem fused with Reshiram/Zekrom!”

If you've ever seen or played Pokemon Colosseum/XD Gale of Darkness, those sprites were 3D and had so much personality that actually reflected the design, and that game is almost 16 years old now. It's funny how they don't even recognize that other 3D models for pokemon exist at all

Gotta say, Gen 5s moving sprites were the best the ponemon looked throughout the series

Well 3d models being alive is less about graphics and more about animation. And well. We know how bad the animation has been in main line mon games recently.

@@chAhAmA72 I don’t get why Pokémon fights still don’t look so cinematic and dynamic like in Stadium.. A game that came out on the N64... I guess I will never get combat like this with next gen graphics

Probably takes way more effort, modelling and all the animation required to add personality/idle poses. Sprites are very "cheap" in comparison and allows our imagination to fill in the blanks.

The worlds of each region have always been so much fun!! I think region design peaked around Gens 3-5. Some of the caves/dungeons in Sinnoh and Unova are sooo much fun to get lost in. Gens 6 and 7 were fun but increasingly accrued certain problems as the franchise went on, and I will go as far as to say the map design in SwSh is objectively bad and not fun.

@@tristanneal9552 Eh, Kalos is a perfectly fine region in my eyes. Its probably also the region with the most variety in biomes. Sure, the Power Plant thing sucks, but the rest of the map is still up there with gens 3-5 for me (Hell, gen 6 as a whole, or at least XY, is up there with those gens in my opinion, but I can definitely see why people don't like 6 that much)

@@altoggiv737 I really enjoy Kalos!! Just probably not as much as the predecessors, but imo it's nowhere near as bad as Alola or Galar. When I said increasingly bad I meant Kalos was still pretty good, Alola was okay, and Galar was bad. I actually enjoy all of them conceptually, just not the execution in mapping and linearity. That's all just my opinion though, ofc.

don't worry they made the strongest trainers pushovers too lol

@@retro_nintendom8493 Leon was the first fight I didn't one shot every pokemon in the league to that point, excluding the Eiscue in the Ice gym (I two shotted it only because it had a Sturdy like ability).

lmao even bisharps points are smoothed out and the models are so desaturated

They're already so chibi that even Porygon 2 and Z look like they have too much detail...
THINK ABOUT THAT

Very true. At least the story is ok tho.

The story in Sun Moon is really good, but it also can be boiled down to like 8 lines of dialogue and 2 cutscenes.

As much as I wish I could agree, weren’t those games poorly selling, especially BW2? That seems like proof for them that complex games are popular among fans but bad at drawing in younger children and a casual audience, thus losing sales

@@dmate9889 BW was the peak of people aging out of pokemon. then after another four years people went "Oh wait I'm an adult and I can still like pokemon, gimmie more of that!"

@@dmate9889 many people consider BW2 to be really good pokemon games retroactively

Yea

They also gave a lot of flying type pokemon more character-based animations instead of having them slowly flap their wings all of the time. Another cool thing is that they actually scaled the pokemon sizes in-battle properly back then so Wailord was like 30 feet tall instead of 3 feet tall as shown in Sword and Shield

Another interview moment had them asked if they would ever make a game similar to Colosseum and XD, and their answer was flat out "No, next question."
It's likely that they don't do research on what worked to make a good pokemon game. They just go with their gut feeling of how they think gaming is trending, and tell everyone else to make the game accordingly.

@@MidnyteSketch Can you remember the source for that interview moment? I'd be interested in seeing it.

Yeah if they just made the battles like Colosseum and Revolution they would look so much better but they cram the Pokémon in a really small area instead

Imagine if the 3ds Pokemon games looked like this:
krplus.net/bidio/ZLuLqnJ-porboaA

I think they still think ALL of their Fans are Kids. And with every year they think "we" somehow get Younger and make it fit for "our Small Child brain"

@@yaboipktendo despite them hiring an adult fan to design a pokemon...

@@mr.preston1632 Think of it Like this:
Pokemon Fans = Everyone
But the people who Play the Game (in their mind) = Only Kids

@@yaboipktendo As someone who grew up with the early gens, that's kind of an insult to kids, though. I really don't get why they think that the games that made them popular with children at the time are too hard for today's children. Does Gamefreak think that kids have grown significantly dumber since the generation before them?

@@songpoetry1 yes.

Oh, they know. Non-Pokémon games like Little Town Hero are evidence of this. Gamefreak just doesn't bother.

Since 3D uses the same model isn't it theoretically possible to create new animations while linking them to natures? That could give more "soul" to the Pokemons.
Basically nature exclusive animations.

Arc system works does a really good job at both

How are the models any worse than the models in Pokemon Stadium Or in XD Gale of Darkness. Yeah the models should be better Im not going to dispute that but if people are happy with the terrible Sprites that red and blue had and the still images that gen3 and Gen4 had then I really don't understand the fan outcry here.

Not to mention the gen 2 remakes and BW2 are the most expensive games to buy used now. HGSS with the pokewalker can go as high as $200 with the box and B2 and W2 are $100 each whereas ORAS is usually $30 being cheaper than any of the gameboy/gbc/gba games, and X/Y and after is usually $20 at most

Yes. My black 2 copy having an im(perfect) team. I had 18 pokemons on lvl 52 because why the heck not?

They say that and beside there is Persona 5 which is a blast in Japan and worldwide, or Monster Hunter franchise, and it's REALLY long games. So stupid. I want so bad to have a good pokemon game like old times but I'm sure it's done for ever.

I wonder how many hours of WoW or LoL have been played just last year...

@Jesus Pernia really cause you got time to watch an vids on youtube

"People don't want to _play_ the game in order to finish it, so why should we bother letting them!"

@DiaKorrus 18 yellow is a girl bru

@DiaKorrus 18 and Silver straight up steals gym badges.
It also shows that most people barely even know type matchups, let alone ability interactions. It also explains why most gym leaders are mono-type. Seeing as, if you’re generally staying in one place, and have certain interests, knowledge, jobs, and preferences, having similar (or the same) Pokémon is more convenient.

@DiaKorrus 18 I’m not saying that as criticism. Stealing gym badges would actually be an interesting concept, although I understand why they won’t implement that.
Although I can’t imagine switching to silver for more than a few battles every once in a while to allow for interesting ways to tell the player information that gold wouldn’t have come across naturally. Using someone else’s Pokémon is fun, but doing it too much (with the exception of the battle factory) ruins the overall connection you feel with them.

Then why even make that game?

I feel like this actually says so much more than being disappointed as an adult. Younger me would be so disappointed with SwSh.

@@slevinchannel7589 I feel the same about the spin-offs. My first Pokémon game ever was Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, a spin-off that I held in high regard as a young child, coming back to it years later, I still felt the awe only induced by the overwhelming passion of those who create the game. You can tell me all you will, but Pokémon spin-offs are crafted with more dedication and heart than any of the mainline games, created by competent workers who want to make the very best of the options they are given.
Pokémon Ranger, Mystery Dungeon, Colosseum, XD... They hold up to modern Pokémon in quality to this day.

@@vanillabean2683 Its never too late or the wrong time to go back to those.
I literally and really literally have one of them in my Hands right now. Well, its resting on my Lap cause i need my Hands to write those words, but still.

Pokemon Sw/Sh taught me one thing:
Never get hyped for anything. Vote with your wallet like an adult.

People defend game freak because while all of this is bad at the end of the day sword and shield aren't even that terrible. The people who hate sword and shield the most are in the Pokemon fanbase, gamefreak being a scummy Corporation is really nothing new in the grand scheme of things.

@@slevinchannel7589 Ok...?

These Guys talk such utter Nonsense.
'You either die as a Hero or live long enough to become the Villain' is really personified with Masuda.
He's talking like he's on bad Medicine. For real. His Interview-Statements are kinda similar like if he talked about how Meoth evolved at Lv.15 into Pikachu and then again 10 Levels later at Lv.8 - in to Giratina himself.
Thats the level we're dealing with. People are literally calling out every single bullshit of him, no matter age and gender.
My 8 Years old Step-Siblings basically said 'WTF' about Masudas claims.

It seems the head honchos at Game Freak can't distinguish fun/fair challenge and what's cheap. Pokemon has had examples of both: Fun/fair challenge: Cynthia in DPPt or Ghetsis in BW. Straight up cheap: R-2 Psychic Trainer in Pokemon Stadium or Greevil in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. For Pokemon Stadium, if you know how OP the Psychic Type was, imagine facing a trainer who only used Psychic Types! And for the latter, I apply this logic if you try catching all of Greevil's 6 Shadow Pokemon in one go! WHile Rhydon, Exeggutor, and Tauros aren't too much to handle, catching 3 Legendary Birds who have unlimited PP on their Shadow Attacks? Yeah, that's far too much! And besides, there was a difficulty feature in Black/White 2, though it was strangely unlocked after beating the game, which makes sense for Challenge Mode, but why did you have to unlock Easy Mode?

@@georgecortes3416 Another example of unfair I think off is Red. My team is most likely only level 60-65 so Red will have 20 levels of advantage which in short means "You deal half damage, he deals double damage, and he will almost always outspeed you". Or U-Necrozma who is even worse due to that double buff it has, only beatable with cheese strategies or a Bisharp with assault vest.

@@N12015 To be fair, the most intimidating thing about Red is the level jump where he has at highest, a Level 81 Pikachu in GSC. And being that it's post-game, one can easily grind wild/trainer battles to face him. But if you want a prine example of level jump that you can't exactly prepare for, look no further than Evice from Colosseum! Your mons might be in the high 40's to the low 50's, while his Pokemon are in their low-to-mid 60's! And this is in the main story! Whether it's his Salamence and Shadow Tyranitar being some of the sacriest pseudo-Legendaries around, Scizor passing buffs, Machamp being the physical monster with Guts, or worse of all: Slowking using Skill Swap on Slaking to take away Truant so it can attack every turn! Levels are one thing, but complex strats from an AI where the Pokemon you can catch is extremely limited means you're in for a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnng battle!

"They" is kids. Not sure how old you are but for 11 year olds his statement is probably correct.

@@majinmj1663 True, and while 11 year olds are the demographic as Masuda went on record saying he only tries appealing to children around 10-11 years old; he's also putting Pokemon against literal smartphones which is like pitting a canoe against a submarine, they're not meant to be compared that way. But if that's the case, then why create any sort of postgame or try balancing the competitive meta at all if only children are what you're concerned with in terms of marketing? And if they don't want to make their games challenging, why include battles such as an omniboosted Ultra Necrozma which plenty of people struggle with? For me, I think the issue is a lack of focus in what they wanna do. They want to appeal to children, seeing that their parents are the ones with the most money, but in that case, why not appeal more to smartphones instead? If the market is supposedly "children with smartphones", then why bother making games on handhelds/consoles if Masuda himself said that's what the children use these days? I'm only trying to understand his perspective, but his words and actions make that like nailing jello to wall; aka impossible.

Seriously what’s the point of the escape rope anyway if there are only 2 dungeons

Nah I don't think pokemon is that much easier that's just silly, Pokemon was easy to begin with though I think gen 6 is the biggest offender having the easiest games in the series, SWSH may seem easy but XY makes SWSH look like Dark Souls.
Also SM and USUM actually have pretty good difficulty IMO, A lot of people are calling them really easy but I think its just cause we have not replayed them in a while, USUM is surprisingly tough especially compared to XY and SWSH. It's not insane or anything but I think it's on par with the difficulty of Gen 2 and Gen 3.
If you don't believe me I have two words for you. Ultra Necrozma. If you remember the Ultra Necrozma memes then you will remember how shocked the community was about the fact that USUM was nowhere near pitifully easy.

"This game is the Dark Souls of [blank]" isn't a meme for nothin'.
