pokemon could potentially be extremely good if it just took its foundations and built something new on top of it instead of remaking the same old gameboy game (but with slightly different flavor!) over and over..
aaand honestly i dont think any of the pokemon games have topped g/s/c yet in terms of postgame?? like, theyre basically open-world games but i dont feel like any of the games have tried as much to function as an open-world game since then (the whole optional 8 gyms + red fight, sprawling areas with no purpose other than for exploration, the introduction of pokemon evolving through friendship and time of day, the introduction of breeding (which.. honestly gets a lot of the fun sapped out of it by the iv mechanic imo), phone calls which were honestly pretty annoying but were also an attempt to make the game feel more like a living place, which is appreciated..)
as it is... i think a big part of the reason im still able to get into it is because theres usually a break of a few years between the release date of each game
