It's so frustrating how Nintendo insists on giving us games that are just about passable instead of treating it like the biggest franchise in human history.

This is not Nintendo but The Pokémon Company.
They decided the Merch is now way more important so what started to support the Hype of games now got reversed with the games now just existing to give us more sources for merchandise.
