I don't expect anything from Gamefreak honestly anymore, they are clearly treating Pokemon games as really not all that much more than a glorified mobile game for Children. I mean, pic related, a fucking Wii game and it looks better than Sword and Shield, Xenoblade blows it out of the fucking water as well.
The eternal question is though, is Gamefreak incompetent or lazy? I actually lean more towards incompetent these days because frankly, this game looks like an upscaled Gamecube game and is running at 15fps, look at how with Sun and Moon they fucked up the programming to Yandare Simulator levels or how with Gold and Silver they couldn't fit the game on the cart, so Iwata came in and over a single day reprogrammed the entire game to not only fit on the cart but have enough space to add Kanto.
Really Gamefreak should just outsource Pokemon to Monolithsoft or even Retro Studios at this point.
