Why are games constantly getting dumbed down more and more?

You know the answer to this user, you just want to feel validated from people saying roughly the same thing and agreeing with you.

Pokémon was meant to get a Breathe of the Wild reboot, it probably never will. Arceus is boring, doesn't even play like Pokémon, and technologically in the dark ages.

the problem is that this image is conflating two different sub-genres of FPS. FPS as a genre has nothing to do with things like level size or exploration.

To wit, a game like Bioshock is an FPS and has a good amount of exploration. Compared to a CoD or the like that's all about action corridors, it's night and day.

On the other hand, compare bioshock to system shock, or inversely to bioshock infinite, and then you might be onto something.

Every pokemon game gives you Fly around halfway through the game and you can buy repels to turn off random encounters.

use your imagination

I think what you are trying to get at is more the fact that you can't sequence break in modern games. There are dozens of different orders you can take with Red/Blue as you need to beat first 2 gyms and last gym in a set order, but are free outside of that. And a lesser extent in Gold and Silver.
Now everything is gated off.
