because there's a curious phenomenon with pokemon fans
pokemon fans that still buy pokemon games haven't yet figured out they're getting fleeced, or at least keep making excuses to justify it
pokemon fans that have crossed the event horizon and figured out they don't care about it just stop playing, without any want for better quality games
because of this, there's no actual demand for gamefreak to do better. it's a perpetual supply of people that happily eat up mediocrity
