Now that there is a casual side series in the Pokemon games with Let's Go, do you think gen 8 is going to up the seriousness, difficulty and competitiveness of Pokemon?

That would honestly be really nice. Let this side series rake in the dough with the casual audience and then up the risks and difficulty they're willing to take with the core series. If they have a successful casual spin off series, they don't have to worry anymore about losing too many causal players with the core series. This could be the best thing to happen to the core series in all honesty. 

I think this can do really well, of course if all goes well for the final product. Some fans complain that Pokemon has a hard time catering to both casual and core audiences so this could be sort of a way to satisfy both. The Go audience has great potential (despite the decrease in active users) while the core fans are likely to stick around until next year or, if they are open to it, try out the upcoming Let's Go games themselves.
