>>30683430Gamefreak has always been incompetent at programming the most simple shit, and always will be. I don't know why this is a surprise.
They happened to get "shiny with pokerus in genIII" lucky and struck probably one of the biggest goldmines the videogame industry has seen so far.
So now that they're sitting on the diamond goose they don't even have to try to improve at all and they'll still sell Pokemon like fresh pancakes. They couldn't create an algorithm to lower polys on the models to make the framerate bearable. They had to have Iwata fix their spaghetti code in genII, which let them put Kanto in in the first place. The list just goes on and on.
This should be common knowledge at this point, Gamefreak is a disaster of a game developer which has a ridiculously lucrative franchise in its hands. I can't imagine how much better the games would be if they were made by someone else.
We're still gonna buy or pirate the genIV remakes like the dumbshits we are.
