Gamefreak don't have corporate overlords. They don't have shareholders or owners. They're their own thing, and if they say no, no one can force them.
No, the blame sticks with Gamefreak. It's their fault for not hiring talent that knows how to make a good switch game, simply on a technical basis. It's their fault for not hiring more modelers and artists. It's their fault for not bringing in a good third party studio as subcontractors. It's their fault for agreeing to deadlines they can't meet, and it's their fault for blatantly lying to our faces.
It's been their fault when XY was a technical mess, when they cut down ORAS, when they made SM a slog, when they made LGPE a joke. No excuses.
