I have some complaints about the company releasing the same game every year except for Legends Arceus is the first innovative game in years and years. They all have very similar mechanics and even share stories to a degree making people like me who have played every game in the franchise a bit tired of them trying to match graphics made by games like MGR in 2013. The only real addition in the new games is shading and lag. The lag is because the switch uses a processing unit also found in an android laptop 8 years ago making some games unplayable. All while remixing old features and not giving ones we cared about like mega evolution back because of old imbalances in power and stats and Gamefreak not caring about tiers like Smogon. When Mega Rayquaza was released it made a whole tier unplayable so they added the Anything Goes tier above Ubers. All game freak does for the competitive players in Pokemon is change which pokemon are banned for a season. And that is just hitting the tip of the iceberg. Pokemon like Necrozma suffer from not being able to do what makes them special in the new games because of the removal of gimmicks (like Z-Moves) which ruins a cool or fun pokemon. They have also started to fall into that footprint like COD where churning out a game every single year (or multiple like 2022) has lowered quality and optimization.
