If Pokmon released new Pokmon every year to add to whatever game was out, then Im probably compare them more

This is essentially what they've been doing. Every 2 years, they came out with a new batch of Pokemon. If all you care about is competitive play, then you just play through the new game and get the new Pokemon. Then you change up your team to try out the new stuff. Often, some of the new stuff will be much better and you keep it.
Now imagine if Magic put out a new set of cards, but suddenly banned half of the old cards for completely arbitrary and unspecified reasons.
Now imagine that every other year, they put out another bunch of cards, and then switched up which half of the old cards were banned, leaving your deck from the previous year quite likely completely unusable.

That's Pokemon's plan going forward.

Oh, and also imagine if Magic introduced a new mechanic every expansion which no one liked, and then completely removed it next expansion.
