Why have the games been so terribad recently? Is it because of

No. It's because the games are targeted at children and you're slowly losing the "child at heart" side of yourself as we get further from generation uno.

Lack of content.

because every new game is designed to be someone's first pokemon game, and long time players keep expecting too much from a franchise that has barely evolved in 20 years

Game Freak stopped increasing the scope of the game and their ambitions after Gen 2.

Because Gamefreak keeps on making the games easier and easier on purpose. They admitted to as much in an interview.
The sad thing is that they even admitted that while they are doing that for the children, they don't have any data to back it up that children need easier games. So GF is being ass as usual.
