>>48895022>>48895025>>48895036>>48895072>>48895313/thread, it's a mix of those five posts. GF, a mediocre development studio as seen with literally all games they've published outside of Pokémon, and especially TPCi are companies first and foremost that try to make some nice profit margins, so they cut down on effort in favour of easily marketable shit like nostalgia, a merchandise empire and waifubait. Consumers buy everything due to the appeal of nu-Pokémon, so there is no incentive to innovate at all. Furthermore, it's evident in that folks like Masuda or Sugimori lost their creative spark some time ago. All in all, it'S kinda hopeless.
