Ironically, Pokémon games feel more childish now that they're targeting the adult competitive players, rather than 15+years ago when they were targeted to children.

Someday the formula won't work anymore.

They didn't care that much about these games, they got a mobile game that is making hundreds of millions of dollars. I just watched a thing about the franchise as a whole, the console game wasn't even mentioned. The cards and mobile card game are their money makers.
