Pokemon is absurdly overpriced. Like $70 on Nintendo Switch. And the gameplay is literally the same as Gameboy games from decades ago, with better graphics (that could be rendered on a Gamecube).
No voice acting for dialogues, a tiny sound track, most content is text... no way to explain $70.
If people want to buy something else then good.
This doesn’t check out.
Pokémon Red was $30 in 1996 which is $62 in today’s dollars.
If you just mean there are other games you’d rather spend $70 on, well, that’s not much of a proposition.
The gameplay with respect to 1996 didn't evolve much. Only the graphics.
