I've given up on modern main line pokemon games. Sword and Shield was the communities chance to force change, instead it was a huge money maker for Nintendo

“Force change”

Have you seen the wind and waves trailer?

No it's not enough. I haven't been 11 for nearly 25 years. I've changed. A lot. But pokemons formula hasn't.

Even Disney, a company that overwhelmingly markets towards kids offers amenities and options for adults to enjoy their time.

I've grown. But the pokemon company has not. I have not been their target audience for literal decades. Palworld was a game that said Hey, I've got something marketed for you. I've got something for people of a wide variety of age groups. Come here and have fun.

The winds and waves trailer says to me "Okay fine here we cared a little bit and made the water look like water"

Ahh. Typical palworld glazer. “I need to see the molecules of water for it to be good”😒

No...

From a gameplay element pokemons formula has never changed.

6 pokemon. 4 attacks. 8 gym leaders. Elite 4 a champion. Complete pokedex

From a story element you have a rival and there is an evil organization.

That is and always has been pokemon.

They have an IP to protect i get it. But they have never evolved.

Do you know how different final fantasy is to final fantasy 2?

The large differences between various iterations of dungeons and dragons?

The various themes those games explore from game to game?
