Not really that hard to understand as both games have different approaches it just means they taking aspects from both sets of games in the new one.

Okay, I'm assuming that you're talking about this:

2019 core RPG (untitled) is set to be "in the style of X and Y and Sun and Moon". This should appease competitive players, with Let's Go! aimed at a broad audience, "a core RPG for everyone".

But that doesn't sound like they're indicating that Gen 8 will be a combination of X/Y and Sun/Moon, that just sounds like they think X/Y and Sun/Moon are of the same style, which is distinct from the new style of Let's Go.

If they wanted to emphasise a difference from LG they would have just mentioned Sun/Moon or X/Y alone, seeing as both games have a difference in style and approach of the formula which fans are divided on bringing them both up indicates they see them as core experiences but with different approaches so to not risk worrying fans of one or the other mention both. This comes across as looking at both games for inspiration for the next.
