I have 0 hopes tbh, the writing is on the wall.

Pokemon Bank is an awesome feature, basically allowing you to play through the whole franchise from Pokemons across all games...

Won't that make it blatantly obvious just how much each game is a copy of the previous one?

Technically, no... because that's already obvious.

IDK how Pokémon is still so popular 20 years later, and with people I played Pokémon with in elementary school, too. I played Pokémon Red and one of the DS sequels and felt like I was just playing the exact same game again. When NFT "art" and generative art came out it, the spammy and uninspired nature of it reminded me of one specific thing: the hundreds of Pokémon released after the original 150.
