That's the thing though
if they would've just chosen to do a different 8-bit style that had color, they could've bypassed the readability issue at least a little.
It makes some amount of sense to go to an 8-bit style to do a game because it could be done simply and quickly, but there's no reason to specifically choose GB's monochrome style except for doing nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. It's caused more problems than should even exist just to appeal to a specific oldschool look when other oldschool looks are available that could've done it better. It's just not practical.
