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.
I'm just sick of them introducing cool new mechanics and then removing them in the next game. I never needed z moves or terrastilazation, i wanted to inevitably have mega forms for all of the Pokémon. It just doesn't make sense to carry on this way just watch none of those mechanics i just mentioned will be in the next game
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.

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