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 💀
Have you played Pokémon? The zoophilia isn't implied at all lol. Palworld at least leaves it to your imagination. Pokémon gen 4 has a book talking about how people and Pokémon got married. And Gen 1 has the Hypno line. We don't talk about the Hypno line.
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

small indie teams would at least innovate mechanics over a 30 year period.
