Some people on staff have ideas, they might get lucky a few times with some kino gameplay moments, but they just feel all over the place when it comes to overall game design and seem to not have the skills or tools needed for proper optimization of a game.
Any notion of, "GameFreak would do better if they weren't limited to the DS/3DS/Switch!" or "GameFreak would do better with longer dev times!" is completely thrown out the window when you look at something like Little Town Hero which was fucking garbage. The best thing I can say about that game is that the monsters looked good.
