@pixel Sad thing is. They don't have to care in the slightest making the games look good. Its not what they make their money from with the biggest franchise in the world right now.
They just need to have enough cute monsters in them to sell as marketable plushies. Thats where is money is rolling tbh.
It was kinda sad for me to see the games go worse and worse in terms of game play and post game over time. But if I ever have that itch it can be filled by lovely projects from fans who sometimes even bring truely fresh ideas for pokemon on the table.
Nonethless I hope you enjoy your time playing the games
