Pokémon. The fact that GF has left the gameplay loop almost entirely intact from the days of GameBoy is kinda insane. Would it kill for them to at least add timed button presses in combat, so as to make it a little bit more engaging than “Blizzard > Blizzard > Blizzard > *enemy defeated*”? I love how the Mario RPGs play! It nothing too involved — retaining accessibility for general audiences — and provides enough engagement to keep the combat interesting.

And yet the games still sell great with each new installments.

Scarlet and Violet is the fastest selling Nintendo game of all-time. And right now, it's at 26.38 million units as of December 2024. 

Until Pokémon games start selling way less, there's no motivation to make them more technically stable or change up the gameplay.
