I think Game Freak already knows the core audience is important. Why do you think Pokemon is still Pokemon and selling 15+ million each new main line game (not counting third games and remakes) after 20+ years? They even announced the next game in 2019 will maintain the core elements of previous games in the mainline series, including battling and catching wild Pokemon.
Pokemon Let's Go is an opportunity to add in more fans into the main series, especially those who have not played Pokemon since Gen I or maybe Gen II. Apparently, a some people of this particular group are playing Pokemon Go, which has actually shown an increase in active users compared to last year.

Whether it works or not will depend on a variety of factors, but it doesn't seem to hurt to try to convert some of them, at least a few million of the Pokemon Go active users, to the main line games.

Yeah i do know all that, but i mean i'm glad Let's go seem to be less popular than mainline pokemon games or else we could have seen more casual elements in the main series. Which will probably happen, but i hope they make a more difficult and less kiddy game, like X/Y was just too childish for me.
I just want a hard mode from the start that's not a lot to ask for an RPG lmao.

Wouldn't you want the reverse? I mean wouldn't it be better for Game Freak to have the Let's Go series,as a second mainline series running along the core games, to put the more casual and easier elements to attract a new audience,instead of having to put them in the core games to try to get that audience
