Excerpt from the article: "Unfortunately, some of the Megas fell behind due to the fact that their counterparts might be a little overpowered. With that said, let’s talk about a list of globally Released mega Evolutions from worst to best. This means these Pokémon have been released worldwide and everyone has had a chance of using them through legitimate means. No hacking."

They're better off making another gba game, selling it with a gba or something. It's like they are not even aware their recent games are like 3 generations behind others in terms of every aspect.
I’ve honestly stopped following this series after Sinnoh League.
Still love Pokémon just can’t follow the new games and anime after that.
Johto League will forever be my favorite.
The game is very empty and lifeless. I'm not really having much fun with it and I'm almost done the game. Mechanically, its great. So many quality of life improvements. Technically, it's an embarrassment. The further you progress into the game, the worse the frame rate gets. The giant Lake and the Snowy Mountains are awful. There no part of the story I find interesting. Just the usual 'collect 8 badges and go to the Pokemon league.' I hope the criticism is a wake up call for their next entry. But I'm certain it won't be. It sold well, and that's all that matters to them.
Lol a world building problem? At this point the Pokemon franchise is all but transparently creatively bankrupt. It's only ever been about separating children from their parents cash. Gotta catch em all being one of the greatest marketing slogans of all time.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
The development time Game Freak currently has to make Pokemon games is unsustainable, and one major change needs to be made to fix the issue.
I'd rather they give it to a new developer who can actually give us what we want and more without relying on as many silly little gimmicks as they can for marketing purposes.
Let's be honest, nothing is going to change because they know they can get away with it.
They clearly already have - they've sold 10m+ at full price (faster than Arceus) and in spite of all the issues, it still has decent reviews (76%). They'll probably gross $1b+ off this game, on top of all the money they made from Arceus.
People have been complaining about the handling of this franchise for years but it's a cash cow (they made billions off Pokemon Go as well). To them, this is very much sustainable, unfortunately.
Trash series. The combat in these games is extremely boring too, Custom Robo Arena is far better, and for turn based the Worms games on PC.
Every new gen comes out every 3 years and with more ambitious ideas it just isn’t sustainable
Pokémon demonstrates how being so merchandise driven is proving detrimental to the main product, and despite that it still sells well
