Ehhh I dunno. Maybe if they focused on the original 150. Even then would they still stick with turn based fighting or try to go action based?

I dunno I think it's remarkably easy to fuck up. There's clearly an audience of at least 8 million people who just want more of the same for the most part.

Even without dramatically changing the battle system or the general story layout (Beat eight gyms and a major tournament with some sort of region-specific plotline along the way), I feel like they could have done a lot better than they did with Sword/Shield.

While I enjoyed the gym challenge as a whole, and the wild areas, and both DLC, Gen 8 felt a lot more lackluster than Gen 7, but at least they were better in a few ways than LG E/P. A lot of that for me had to do with the fact that Leon and Sonia were so insisting on cucking you out of the "regional lore and badguy squashing" portion of the game. Yes, Sonia tells you a lot about the Darkest Days and you do eventually beat Eternatus/calm down the version Legendary....but it feels less like you're actively participating.

And even then, since I did another playthrough recently, I still feel like I know more about the league challenge itself - which is what the game itself wanted you to know about - than any of the regional lore or even why Rose did what he did.
