Not entirely. Some seasons do it, others don't. But, they have greatly down played the importance of mosters of the week to the point where they reuse monsters & they take second place to plot. First season that did that was Gaim, they went back to normal for Drive, then did the Gaim thing again for every season since, except for Zi-O.
If you do, they've kept a lot of the silliness from the era Fourze came from, but they have also reincorporated a more plot heavy story that doesn't shy away from hard stuff, like they used to in Kuuga-Kabuto.
