Why do we not see musical intensity like the creative works of Wild or Lavender town?

I know I may get in trouble for asking this but what are they going to do?

I love the music Wild Battle from Red and Blue and think it is the best of the series. And Lavender Town was experimental and some of the best music I have heard anywhere because of how it sets the tone in the game it is in. But music since then has not seemed experimental like Lavender town or give such raw emotion like Wild Battle. Does bringing a composer make everything sound kind of the same? Will we see more experimental sound or music with tones and synths made custom?

    Ok, so I may be misunderstanding something, but I feel like the music is still intense and sets the vibe.

    Look at Volo, for example. When you battle him at the end of the game, the music is intense and climatic, matching the energy of the man that s0ld his s0ul to the d3vil.

    In Scarlet and Violet, their most recent game, the Team Star Boss theme was exiting and energetic, matching the vibe of the enemy.

    I don't know what experimental music is, but I don't think the music is doing bad.

    Although, this isn't an argument here, I love Lavender Town! It's one of my all time favorite themes!

    In the Team Star Boss theme, it's supposed to be enemy not energy. Sorry.

    i think most music now is not up to the emotional intensity of those gen 1 songs.

    seeing as how the games are trying to appeal to a younger and younger audience(incorrectly) I thought maybe the music could be make charts
