I would imagine a decent amount of those are for people buying for their partner/children...

I feel like Scarlet actually has the more interesting paradox mons but yeah, the option comes down to which color school uniform you want to wear and orange is my literal least favorite color so I just can't afford to be stuck with it all game. Violet it is!

It's also, like, a cultural touchstone. People's attachment to the brand is huge, everyone has memories of the games/shows/etc from their youth. You can't just make another pikachu, not without a lot of luck.

I'm not big on nostalgia (being depressed your whole life tends to get rid of that part of your brain lol) but yeah, it's a lot of this. I know all the gen 1 pokemon. I don't have any connection to the 100 or whatever random monsters that some other random developer tries to shove in my face. So a pokemon-like can't just be a mediocre riff in the same genre because if I wanted that I could just play pokemon.
