Pokemon is designed from the start to be low-creative-effort, addictive entertainment: endless stream of repetitive cute/awesome monsters and you have to "catch them all" via repetitive actions that occasionally yield a dopamine reward. You might catch a new one by - 1) watching episodes where [characters] have [adventure] in [biome], 2) walking in the grass/cave on your console, 3) buying another pack of cards or food item that comes with a pack of cards. And then you try again and again and again.
It's a neverending reusable formula. You just need to occasionally pay artists to update the graphics.
