Nothing archaic about it. Turn based rpgs can be a lot more strategic and I love the slower gameplay. Why do you think Pokémon is still the most popular rpg by far (not counting MMO games). Can you imagine how much a console Pokémon game with many online features would sell on both PS4 and XBOXONE? A LOT! Wouldn't be surprised if it broke all the sales records. 

A realtime action based RPG allows for more immersion ... You get a lot more degrees of freedom in combat than you ever will with a turn based RPG ... 

Action RPGs can also be strategic such as Demon/Dark Souls or Bloodborne ... 

Pokemon is popular for more than just it's combat system such as the design of pokemons and other content such as the universe's lore ...

Pokemon on the PS4/X1 would flop badly just like the previous Pokemon games on a Nintendo console ...

I'm never immersed by realtime action RPG because the combat looks plain silly (I think you know what I mean, e.g. being able to hit someone even though your sword obviously never hit him, etc.). 

There has never been a MAIN Pokémon game on a Nintendo console which invalidates your argument. It would probably sell over 60 million copies combined. Pokémon is easily the biggest franchise in the world held back only by Gamefreak's archaic thinking (and the fact that it's a Nintendo exclusive!).
