Yeah they've been making the same games for decades now. If nothing else, they give people what they want.

While at the same time keeping those same franchises fresh. They’ll do fan service, followed by reinvention, more fan service, etc. The time lapse between each fan service game is usually enough time to have fans ready for another “same-y” type game. Those “same-y” type games also cost less to make, allowing it to be a healthy business. Without a healthy gaming business, they cannot continue doing business since they have nothing else propping up their company.

😂😂 To be fair, Game Freak is a separate company. I’m talking Nintendo EAD.

Game Freak does have a tick-tock cycle too. They just suck as developers lol.
