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 💀

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