BOTW ruined Zelda for people like me who enjoyed the dungeons, unique items and narrative progression of older games even if it was a great game for open world fans. Pokemon is even further removed from that action-survival gameplay so it's not hard to see why people would want new games to be similar even if the current formula is stale.

Yeah pretty much. BOTW is flat out not a Zelda game. It’s a Zelda skinned game.
