Gamefreak clearly isn't interested in evolving their formula very much. Each game is designed to be approachable for young children who are potentially playing Pokemon for the first time. So yeah, there is a lot of hand holding.
I've found myself hoping the same thing though, that maybe the franchise would grow up with me, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. I expect that we'll have to mash the A button through the Pokemon catching tutorial until the end of time.
It would be nice if this gigantic studio (in terms of profit) could make more than one game. Or make it in a way that players of all skill levels can enjoy.
