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. 

Exactly. All the rumours were a bit worrying, if we apply them to the main series, but knowing there are two different series with two target audiences makes this all different. The main series has not target everyone anymore, if parts of the audience (and more) are adressed with Let's Go. This is in the end awesome news and probably makes the overall audience for the Pokemon IP even bigger.
