to be fair, they have introduced new stuff, the problem is all the new stuff is worse than the old stuff lol. Pixel-era Pokemon was still the best, everything after has been a bit weird and ultra gimmicky.
Black and White 2 just feels like literal perfection having a beloved style, story and there is so much content to do. I wish they would make a proper pixel game again, but that's a fever dream.
I'm personally very fond of ORAS though lmao. I played Black first, but it's the main pokemon game I spent several times more than the others at about ~500 hours. I actually loved Scarlet's gaameplay but I only sunk 120~ and that's several times more than the usual of 30 or so like Shield 💀
I do recommend the DSI XL for the sprite pokemon games lol. It's the perfect ratio + a vibrant dual IPS. They're pretty cozy to hold too compared to my floppy 3DS LL. (N3DSes did fix that though.)
True, today‘s content in games is 50% slapping PBR materials and reflections on everything so the graphics will help sell it. Sometimes I believe having to be clever with your resources on limited hardware also made people to come up with interesting mechanics and ideas. Many mechanics today are more like good coding practices but from a players perspective more like who asked for this to begin with? Eastern devs still mostly get it but western studios somehow forgot this ancient knowledge over the last 10 years. Just go back and play any rpg from 15 years ago and you can spot and feel the difference in like 15 minutes and see why they are shutting down one after another. It’s the same reason why anime pretty much replaced all tv shows for my generation and the ones afterwards. I can’t name a single tv show that runs in western tv channels.
There was a plot line where you have to fight a Hypno over a child but I think Hypno was protecting the kid and you were just meant to think it was a kidnapping.
There is a Drowzie who kidnaps a child in the pokemon mystery dungeon games though

I genuinely think teras is mechanically the best system they've created post gen 4. However, conceptually mega evolutions were my favorite.
The problem with megas was that competitively it was terrible and pokemon traditionally does not update fast enough to fix the limited pool of viable pokemon.
This is the game where Landorous terrorized competitive for like 3 gens straight and is still meta.
