This is the thing that throws me off with Nintendo sometimes. This game is terrible, and the overall franchise's quality keeps plunging. And yet it sells like bread.
And youd think, ok, thats fine, clearly some people like it, and the huge revenue Nintendo gets from it will ensure that the next entry is gonna be much better, and yet, no, its terrible. Even worse.

Worth noting Nintendo is not really the problem here. Gamefreak are joint owners with Nintendo & the Pokemon company... Seeing how Nintendo deals with their own fully owned IP like Mario, Zelda etc it's night and day.
