Why is Pokemon so fucking slow?

"pacing" is a basic game design concept
something no one at gamefreak seem to have

Text displays one character at a time and the animation plays after the text box for the attack closes. Also all enemies have more HP and defense since the game is designed around any of them being on your party. One-shots in the first battles don't happen.

Does anyone notice that games, specially rpgs, get "slower" on higher gens?
In pokemon gen 3, you click atk->water gun. Its as fast as the dq game. I dont know what gen that DQ game is from. In gen 4 for the nds (pic), you have more graphics but as a result the pacing is very slow af. The game on the lower gen is always fast and you lose that.
